Package: fakeroot
Version: 1.15.1-1
| $ fakeroot test -w /; echo $?
| 1
| $ sudo test -w /; echo $?
| 0
I would have expected the results to match.
Context: today I tried building git from source with
fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch BUILD_DOCS=0
and unfortunately a number of tests failed. The cause is this code
fragment:
# When the tests are run as root, permission tests will report that
# things are writable when they shouldn't be.
test -w / || test_set_prereq SANITY
I can reproduce it with /usr/bin/test from coreutils 8.5-1 or $sh -c
'test -w /' for various shells such as posh 0.10. All use access(2)
as far as I can tell.
Known problem?
