Description at@altlinux.org 2003-12-09 20:30:49 MSK

Two problems with lilo.spec:
1) bogus check for /usr/sbin/detectloader (actually the test is for the given
string, not for the given file);
2) missing deps on /usr/sbin/detectloader, so the post script may or may not
achieve the desired effect.

Thanks for the typo report. 
I think that detectloader dependency is not required though.

Fixed the typo in lilo-22.4.1-alt5
