Binary package hint: ivman

ivman would not start if there is no cdrom. I am using gutsy (Ubuntu 7.10)

# dpkg -s ivman
Package: ivman
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional

# ivman
manager.c:1387 (do_startup_configure) Directory /etc/ivman/ will be used for configuration files.
/bin/sh: /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock: No such file or directory

The solution is simple, add code to check the presence of cdrom before trying to use it (borrowed from debian package)
