Bug Description

Binary package hint: plptools

/etc/init.d/plptools should omit the line "modprobe fuse" now that fuse is build into the kernel, as this line will fail and hence plpfuse will now never work.

If you want a test which will work with kernels that don't have fuse built in, then do something like

if ! grep fuse /proc/filesystems; then
  modprobe fuse
fi

Workaround for current jaunty users: comment out or delete the line that says "modprobe fuse" in /etc/init.d/plptools.

(Hint: this bug does not exist upstream (I am upstream); the init script comes from Debian. I'm filing a bug in Debian too.)
