Subject: Bug#3943: libproc.so in /usr, ps/psupdate in /bin

From: [email-masked] (Bernd Eckenfels)

Package: procps
Version: 0.99-3

/bin/ps:
        libproc.so.0.99 => /usr/lib/libproc.so.0.99
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.2.18
/sbin/psupdate:
        libproc.so.0.99 => /usr/lib/libproc.so.0.99
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.2.18

Since both programs won't start without /usr mounted, there is no reason for
placing them in /bin, /sbin. Since both are very usable in / I suggest to
link them statically or move the lib to /lib. Since /lib is already
cluttered with a lot of unessential libraries (bash as one reason). I think
linking libproc statically is the better solution.

Greetings
Bernd

The latest procps package (1.01a) puts libproc.so into /lib.
