Would you please confirm that this patch is sufficient?Subject: [PATCH] Avoid test failures when root (/) is not readable. * tests/test-lib.sh (require_readable_root_): New function. * tests/misc/pwd-long: Skip this test when / is unreadable. * tests/du/slash: Likewise. This is required at least for Mandrake/Mandriva in "secure" mode. Reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/12800
After a minor modification to apply to coreutils-6.10, I run the tests and everything was fine. Got the SKIP messages too - which my own patches (adding `[[ -r / ]] || exit 0' to both tests) did not show...
Thanks for the quick resolution! Regards, Theodoros Kalamatianos _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
