Thanks for the bug report.

configure.ac has a couple of program checks:

AC_PATH_PROG([QUOTACHECK], [quotacheck], [/usr/sbin/quotacheck])
AC_PATH_PROG([SETCAP], [setcap], [/usr/sbin/setcap])
AC_PATH_PROG([KILL], [kill], [/usr/bin/kill])
AC_PATH_PROG([KMOD], [kmod], [/usr/bin/kmod])
AC_PATH_PROG([KEXEC], [kexec], [/usr/sbin/kexec])

If the binary is not found in the build environment, the specified
default is used. We can

a/ either build-depend on the various packages, specifically quota,
libcap2-bin, procps, kmod, kexec-tools

b/ patch configure.ac to use different defaults, i.e.
/sbin/quotacheck
/sbin/setcap
/bin/kill
/bin/kmod
/sbin/kexec


Opinions, thoughts?


Michael
