Package: util-linux Version: 2.35.2-2 Severity: important Tags: ftbfs, patch
On architectures which already run glibc >= 2.30 the uname26 testcases fail. Currently this bug affects at least hppa, ia64 and riscv64. The problem is, that the testcase is wrong. This command in ./tests/ts/misc/setarch: $TS_CMD_SETARCH $ARCH -v --uname-2.6 echo "2.6 worked" >> $TS_OUTPUT 2>> $TS_ERRLOG Errors are written to $TS_ERRLOG, while OK'ed output is written to $TS_OUTPUT. With glibc >= 2.30 you get "FATAL: kernel too old", older glibc report "2.6 worked". But a few lines later in the script we have: sed -i "$ s/$expected/2.6 works or kernel too old/" $TS_OUTPUT which only replaces the text in $TS_OUTPUT (and ignores $TS_ERRLOG). Changing $TS_CMD_SETARCH $ARCH -v --uname-2.6 echo "2.6 worked" >> $TS_OUTPUT 2>> $TS_ERRLOG to $TS_CMD_SETARCH $ARCH -v --uname-2.6 echo "2.6 worked" >> $TS_OUTPUT 2>> $TS_OUTPUT fixes the uname26 tests.
