Binary package hint: sysfsutils

Although libsysfs and sysfsutils work flawlessly on 2.6.22 kernel,
with the 2.6.24 one I cannot have /etc/init.d/sysfsutils running.

Starting it via the init script simply does nothing, despite displaying "Setting sysfs variables..." (no "done" string however appears!)

Trying to re-install sysfsutils generates a dpkg-configure error saying

/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: sysfsutils is broken or not fully installed

however no way reinstalling it solves the problem (notice that rebooting with 2.6.22 kernel sysfsutils works again)
