Bug Description

Oct 06 14:48:13 linux-dev docker[1317]: time="2016-10-06T14:48:13.909019154+13:00" level=error msg="Couldn't run auplink before unmount /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-aufs-union929083141: exec: \"auplink\": executable file not found in $PATH"

If this is harmless, it would be good to stop docker trying to run it. If its not, please depend on auplink so that it is installed automatically!

It should already be in either recommends or suggests (can't remember
which).

IMO "depends" is inappropriate because it's only required if your kernel
both supports AUFS and it's configured or chosen as your graph driver.
BTRFS, overlayfs, and even ZFS are also supported, for example.

It is in suggests. This means that the default behaviour - the happy path - for users is poor. Ubuntu's kernels support aufs, and aufs is the default graph driver.

At a minimum I'd suggest recommends.

But aufs-tools is a) tiny - Installed-Size: 228 and b) has no further deps (other than libc) - so while you're abstractly correct its a correctness that isn't IMO helpful.

I'd agree that a recommends wouldn't hurt in that case.
Especially since it would not be a component mismatch - both are in universe.

@Tianon/Mwhudson what do you think?

Recommends makes sense to me I think.

Yeah, I think in Ubuntu changing that to "Recommends" is sensible.
