According to Eric Sandall on 2/2/2010 2:21 PM: > With coreutils 8.x (8.0 through 8.4) using installwatch to track files > breaks on symlinks. See > http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15559 for more details.
Thanks for the report. However, that link pointed me to: http://checkinstall.izto.org/cklist/msg00319.html which states that the incompatibility is due to installwatch not knowing how to track the use of POSIX 2008 *at functions like fchmodat. Sorry, I feel no sympathy for you; the *at functions are more secure than their older counterparts, and we won't be changing back. Rather, you should be helping to patch installwatch to use/track modern kernel interfaces. -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well! Eric Blake [email protected]
