Re: BUG: /sbin in util-linux package

I noticed that the util-linux module places several apps in /sbin.
This is how the util-linux source package installs them, see also:

Also in the package is the /usr/sbin directory with nothing in it.
That's a flaw in the source's 'make install', which is not automake
based. The util-linux source provides several /usr/sbin commands as
well, but none of them are relevant to Cygwin and are not built; the
makefiles create this directory anyway, regardless if anything is
installed into it.
