Package: fence-agents Version: 4.3.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: m...@linux.it Usertags: usrmerge
Dear Maintainer, The package currently fails to build reproducibly on merged-usr vs non-merged systems. The problem is that ping and ping6 full paths are looked up from PATH and embedded into a shipped file. This can easily be fixed by passing PING_CMD, PING6_CMD and PING4_CMD to configure as already done for PYTHON et.al. HEADS UP: for unknown reason, the generated configure script in this package ends up only accepting PING*_CMD values if they are absolute paths! (Other packages configure accepts any value of their variables as valid.) So while I think it would be better in this package to build without embedding full path (and instead rely on runtime systems PATH) it will need to be absolute for configure not to silently ignore what you specify. Please see attached debdiff. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
