*shudder* I'd never considered soft linking lockexec to /bin/true...
*shudders again* What a nasty hack!
I usualy just suggest that people grab the src from sourceforge and
build it manualy if they get the not found error.

I had hoped that adding lockexec to basesystem and having the basesystem
checked on update would be enough... but thinking about it, it seems
obvious that it couldn't be.
