Subject: Bug#4152: psupdate writes /etc/psdatabase, not /boot/psdatabase

From: Michael Alan Dorman <[email-masked]>

package: procps
version: 1.01a-1

psupdate seems to have recently taken to writing the psdatabase into
/etc, not into /boot.

This breaks the current kernel-package slightly (nothing fatal, just
annoying).

If /boot was the wrong place, please let me know so we can update
kernel-package.  If /etc is the wrong place (and I think it is),
please correct procps.

Mike.

Hi,

> kernel-package.  If /etc is the wrong place (and I think it is),

I would suggest /var/lib/ps/psdatabase and /var/lib/ps/psdevtab. (In the new
FHS "lib" may be renamed to "state"). Another place would be /var/run, but
/boot should not be touched/required after boot.

Greetings
Bernd
