cyrus-common-2.2 depends on GNU df

[Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn]

When attempting to apt-get install cyrus-imapd-2.2, I get this warning message because cyrus-common-2.2 is depending on GNU df but "df" is Sun df:

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'cyrus-common-2.2'; however, that package was not published in Nexenta Operating System.

I can verify this problem.

I'm getting the exact same error message:

It doesn't seem to only be the df command because you can see in the line that starts with "Starting Cyrus IMAPd:" it's complaining about the use of the 'ps' command. This error repeats every time I try to start the cyrus imap daemon and results in me being unable to start it.

After fixing the above problem with the use of ps I stopped getting the usage message for ps. However, cyrus does not seem to get properly started for some reason. I did a little research and finally found out that cyrus crashes during startup with the message: "init_kmem: kvm_open failed: Bad file number". I'm creating a new bug for this issue.
