1 We just got a bug,

3 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565500
4
5 due to the `uptime` binary changing locations in
6 sys-process/procps-3.3.11-r2. The nagios-plugins package picks up the
7 location of `uptime` while it's installing, so when users upgrade
8 procps, some plugins stop working.
9
10 Is there anything I can do from the nagios-plugins side to prevent this?
11 A subslot dependency seems wrong, since it looks like the subslot on
12 procps is tied to a library. Should I just tell people to re-emerge and
13 hope the executable stays put in the future?
