Package: findutils
Version: 4.6.0+git+20160126-2
Severity: important
Hello,
kfreebsd & hurd both get the following issue in the testsuite:
Running ./find.gnu/samefile-p-brokenlink.exp ...
ERROR: tcl error sourcing ./find.gnu/samefile-p-brokenlink.exp.
ERROR: ln: failed to access 'tmp/broken': No such file or directory
while executing
"exec ln tmp/broken tmp/blink"
(file "./find.gnu/samefile-p-brokenlink.exp" line 8)
invoked from within
"source ./find.gnu/samefile-p-brokenlink.exp"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 source ./find.gnu/samefile-p-brokenlink.exp"
invoked from within
"catch "uplevel #0 source $test_file_name""
Here is the script:
exec rm -rf tmp
exec mkdir tmp
exec touch tmp/file1
exec ln tmp/file1 tmp/link
exec ln -s tmp/file1 tmp/symlink
exec ln -s tmp/file2 tmp/broken
exec ln tmp/broken tmp/blink
That last ln is failing, because both BSD and Hurd's link() follow
symlinks (here broken, thus the error), while Linux doesn't. POSIX says
that it is implementation-defined whether link() follows symlinks, so
findutils should not assume one way or the other.
Oddly enough, this does not seem to be fatal on kfreebsd,
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=findutils&arch=kfreebsd-amd64&ver=4.6.0%2Bgit%2B20160126-2&stamp=1454863852
shows that the build continues, but on hurd-i386, the build stops:
=== find Summary ===

I haven't found what could be making runtest ignore the issue on
kfreebsd.
