Bug Description

Binary package hint: mountall

Can't setup fakechroot environment because mountall package tries to remove the file which can't be accessible without root privileges.

The fix is trivial and preinst just checks if it is ran inside fakechroot environment.

Thanks for your patch! One change is necessary:

  "$FAKECHROOT" != true

needs to be:

  [ "$FAKECHROOT" != true ]

I'll apply this change and upload to natty.

mountall (2.20) natty; urgency=low

  * Don't try to remove /dev/.udev/rules.d/root.rules when running inside
    fakechroot (thanks, Piotr Roszatycki; LP: #675269).
  * Consider gfs2 filesystems to be remote (thanks, Steve Wilson;
    LP: #582278).
  * Consider ceph filesystems to be remote (thanks, Ravi Pinjala;
    LP: #677960).
