Package: ntfs-3g Version: 1:2017.33.23AR.3-3 User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: hirsute origin-ubuntu Hi Laszlo, The ntfs-3g package has a Pre-Depends on fuse. This is improper; Pre-Depends should only be used when one package is required to be configured before another package is unpacked. Since ntfs-3g has no preinst script, this is not the case for ntfs-3g and the Pre-Depends should be moved to Depends. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

You are right and I don't know why it was put there in the first place in November, 2006. Its postinst uses dpkg-statoverride on /bin/fusermount but for that time dpkg guarantees all dependencies to be in state unpacked at least. Going to make the mentioned change after some testing. Cheers, Laszlo/GCS
