Package: coreutils-from-uutils
Version: 0.0.0
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
updating my unstable (arm64) system appears to have pulled in
coreutils-from-uutils
and the Rust coreutils package:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ dpkg -l | grep coreutils
ii coreutils 9.7-999+0.0.0 all coreutils meta package
ii coreutils-from-uutils 0.0.0 all coreutils from the uutils
project
ii rust-coreutils 0.0.30-4 arm64 Universal coreutils utils,
written in Rust
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great! But other packages are not aware of this yet and along the way other
packages wanted to install their updates as well, triggering the re-generation
of the
kernel's initrd, and broke with:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.18.3+deb14-arm64
error: unexpected argument '-Z' found
tip: to pass '-Z' as a value, use '-- -Z'
Usage: cp [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
cp [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
For more information, try '--help'.
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/kmod failed with return 1.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or the "apparmor" package:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/apparmor ...
error: unexpected argument '-Z' found
tip: to pass '-Z' as a value, use '-- -Z'
Usage: mv [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
mv [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
mv [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
For more information, try '--help'.
dpkg: error processing package apparmor (--configure):
old apparmor package postinst maintainer script subprocess failed with exit
status 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The quick fix was to remove the "-Z" option from the install scripts, e.g.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...and similarly in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/kmod for the "kmod"
package.
Upstream should have -Z implemented already:

Please support the SELinux options in Rust Coreutils.
Thank you,
Christian.
