Package: reprotest Version: 0.7.16 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
While trying to debug https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/issues/191, I found out that the kernel variation makes ldconfig abort with the following message: "FATAL: Kernel too old" This bug can be reproduced using two methods: The low level: `setarch --uname-2.6 ldconfig -v` The high level: ``` cd /tmp; (mkdir -p test-0.1; cd test-0.1; dh_make -n -s -c mit -y; echo -e "override_dh_auto_install:\n\tldconfig --version" >> debian/rules) sudo reprotest --vary=-all,kernel --auto-build /tmp/test-0.1 -- schroot unstable-amd64-sbuild ``` This behavour is partially documented in the manpage under: ``` Kernel ------ The "kernel" variation is currently not working for RPM based packages. While building with this variation enabled, the tool `/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-ldconfig` compains about `FATAL: kernel too old` and aborts the build. ``` However all version of ldconfig (at least since 2017) require a kernel 3.2, not just the RPM ldconfig. I think the documentation should be updated to warn users about ldconfig not working in all cases. -- Baptiste Beauplat - lyknode
