Package: piuparts Version-Description: the one that currently runs piuparts.debian.org
Many sid2experimental checks (~150) fail with the following error: | 0m45.3s DEBUG: Modified(uid, gid, mode, size, target): /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/ (0, 0, d 40755, 40, None) != (104, 0, d 40700, 40, None) | 0m45.3s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified: | /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/ owned by: apt To see some instances, check random logs at: https://piuparts.debian.org/sid2experimental/unclassified_failures.html The experimental version of apt adds privilege separation. It drops root when downloading binary packages from mirrors to be less vulnerable to bugs in the transport (http, ftp, ...) implementation. In order to do so, the unprivileged process needs to be able to write to the partial folder. Thus apt changes ownership of that folder as can be seen above. It is not clear to me, how to make the sid2experimental tests useful again. Please keep in mind that apt will eventually get uploaded to sid. At that point this bug will apply to all testing2sid checks. Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
