Bug#852572: s390-tools: Update udevadm path
(too old to reply)

Package: s390-tools
Version: 1.36.1-1
Severity: normal
Usertags: udevadm
Hi,
since Jessie, the udevadm binary is available as /bin/udevadm.
To not break existing scripts, which use the old /sbin/udevadm path,
the udev package currently ships a compat symlink which we would like
to drop eventually (in buster or buster+1).
According to codesearch [1] your package s390-tools does hard-code the
udevadm path as /sbin/udevadm.
Please change that to /bin/udevadm.
With stretch being released and buster open for development, it would be
a great opportunity to get this fixed now. So please consider adding
this change in your next upload.

If you are worried about backports: /bin/udevadm is already available in
Debian jessie (oldstable) or Ubuntu trusty (14.04LTS). So it's safe to
use the /bin/udevadm path.

Regards,
Michael

You might also consider not hard-coding the path at all, and simply rely
on PATH being set properly. This should be a safe assumption, especially
since the binary is now in /bin
