[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#923377: zfsutils-linux: fails to upgrade

[Héctor Orón Martínez]

Package: zfsutils-linux
Version: 0.8.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #923377

Dear Maintainer,

  When upgrading zfsutils-linux, systemd tries to restart
  zfs-mount.service, that fails because there's nothing to mount and
  makes the install fail. Do you think ignoring the return code for
  zfs-mount.service could be sane approach to fix this issue?
