[Bug 2142594] Re: mandos-client fails to install the initramfs hooks

[Mandos Maintainers]

If Ubuntu's new "install" command is not compatible with GNU coreutils
"install", surely this is a bug in the new "install" command, and not in
every single package that uses the "install" command in a now-suddenly-
incompatible manner?

** Package changed: mandos (Ubuntu) => rust-coreutils (Ubuntu)

Title:
  mandos-client fails to install the initramfs hooks

Status in rust-coreutils package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  With the new coreutils-from-uutils, these lines from
  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mandos fail:

  install --directory --mode=u=rwx,go=rx "${DESTDIR}${CONFDIR}" \
          "${DESTDIR}${MANDOSDIR}" "${DESTDIR}${HOOKDIR}"
  install --owner=${mandos_user} --group=${mandos_group} --directory \
          --mode=u=rwx "${DESTDIR}${PLUGINDIR}" \
          "${DESTDIR}${PLUGINHELPERDIR}"

  Apparently the rust version does not support that syntax (at least in
  the version shipped with Ubuntu 25.10). The install commands should be
  patched for uutils support.
