Package: procps Version: 2:4.0.7-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch upstream Control: block #1141078 by -1
Hello procps maintainers, my package mmdebstrap has its autopkgtest failing because when sending a signal to a process group using a negative pid, kill will exit with a non-zero exit status even if the system call succeeds. Here is the failure of the autopkgtest in salsaci: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/mmdebstrap/-/jobs/10435775 And here on ci.debian.net: https://ci.debian.net/packages/m/mmdebstrap/testing/armhf/76490131/ In both cases, the sigint-during-customize-hook test of mmdebstrap fails at the point where /bin/kill (so definitely not kill from the shell) is sending a SIGINT to a negative process. Since the script is run with set -e, it fails at that point. I reported the issue upstream here 3 weeks ago: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/work_items/438 Luckily, upstream was very quick with fixing this with this commit in the master branch: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/commit/a4632f5cc97815a56b1afb9c294e2038cfb35b68 Thus, I'm tagging this bug with "upstream" as well as "patch". This bug blocks #1141078 which is about the mmdebstrap autopkgtest failing. Please consider either asking upstream for another release containing the fix or backporting the fix from upstream to the version in Debian until a new upstream release happens. Since this bug is blocking my package mmdebstrap from transitioning to testing I also would offer an NMU with this change if you are currently short on time. Thanks! cheers, josch
