Based on the patch from Oyvind Albrigtsen <oalbrigt@redhat.com>:
6516e089c9.
Note that the upstream commit updates all paths, but it turns out that
this is not what we need. nfs-utils actually has files with both /sbin
and /usr/sbin:
$ rpm -ql nfs-utils|grep bin
/sbin/mount.nfs
/sbin/mount.nfs4
/sbin/nfsdcltrack
/sbin/rpc.statd
/sbin/umount.nfs
/sbin/umount.nfs4
/usr/sbin/blkmapd
/usr/sbin/exportfs
/usr/sbin/fsidd
/usr/sbin/mountstats
/usr/sbin/nfsconf
/usr/sbin/nfsdcld
/usr/sbin/nfsdclddb
/usr/sbin/nfsdclnts
/usr/sbin/nfsidmap
/usr/sbin/nfsiostat
/usr/sbin/nfsref
/usr/sbin/nfsstat
/usr/sbin/rpc.gssd
/usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd
/usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd
/usr/sbin/rpcctl
/usr/sbin/rpcdebug
/usr/sbin/showmount
/usr/sbin/sm-notify
/usr/sbin/start-statd
I was confused by the fact that a) the paths in the file system are
actually always /usr/s?bin, because /bin and /sbin and symlinks, and
b) rpm query works for the real paths:
$ rpm -qf /sbin/mount.nfs /usr/sbin/mount.nfs
nfs-utils-2.6.4-0.rc2.fc39.x86_64
nfs-utils-2.6.4-0.rc2.fc39.x86_64
But we can only use the declared path in dependencies, and that is
/sbin/* in a few cases.
I was surprised by this, but nfs-utils is actually following the
Packaging Guidelines in this case [1]:
> As a packager you may need to pay attention to where other
> packages expect to find your files. Things that history has placed
> into /bin, /sbin, /lib, or /lib64 should be listed in the %files
> section as being in those directories. Things that history placed
> in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, etc, should be listed in the %files
> section as being in %{_bindir}, %{_sbindir}, etc.
I think the Packaging Guidelines should be updated to drop this, but
currently they are what they are. Thus, this patch updates the paths
the are _declared_ as /usr/s?bin/* in other packages only.
