Hi team
Aparently there is a bug in build time test of cpio:
## ------------------------- ##
## GNU cpio 2.11 test suite. ##
## ------------------------- ##
1: cpio version ok
2: basic functionality: copyin/copyout ok
3: symlink ok
4: interdir ok
5: symlink-bad-length FAILED
(symlink-bad-length.at:46)
6: symlink-long ok
7: symlink-long ok
8: delayed setstat ok
9: delayed setstat (with -depth) ok
10: delayed setstat (copy-pass) ok
11: delayed setstat (umask) ok
12: delayed setstat (umask, copy-pass) ok
Checking the logs :
/testsuite.dir/05/stderr
cpio: premature end of file
testsuite.log :

I am using the latest version and with latest patches:
https://download.clearlinux.org/current/source/SRPMS/cpio-2.11-13.src.rpm
( even with ./configure make and make check it fails )
Hope it helps
Thanks a lot for the help
