Package: coreutils Version: 8.4-1 Severity: important User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: kfreebsd
Hi, the current coreutils fails to build on GNU/kFreeBSD. Under 7.2 kernel 9 test fails, under 8.0 kernel 1 test fail. The failure under 7.2 kernel is due to limitation of chroot and bind mounts, it is solved in 8.0 kernel. The remanining one is tests/install/install-C which contains: ... . $srcdir/test-lib.sh skip_if_setgid_ mode1=0644 mode2=0755 mode3=2755 ... The problem have been described by Aurelien in http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2009/06/msg00009.html, see also bellow. Petr Some more details about the coreutils bug. It's a bit tricky. First of all I should explain the differences between Linux and kFreeBSD for the creation or new files/directory. kFreeBSD always use the group of the parent directory for the group of the newly created file/directory. Linux use the primary group of the user, except if the parent directory is setgid or if the partition is mounted with the option bsdgroups or grpid. On the buildds the parent directory of the build directory has uid=buildd, gid=sbuild. Note that the primary group of the user buildd is buildd. Moreover it is setgid, so there should be no difference between GNU/Linux and GNU/kFreeBSD. dpkg-source -x first creates a temporary directory in the build directory, and the permissions are explicitely set to 00700 (losing the setgid bit). Then the .orig.tar.gz is untared here, patched are applied, then the result is moved to the parent directory, and the the temporary directory removed. As a consequence, on GNU/Linux the temporary directory has lost the setgid bit, and is still uid=buildd, gid=sbuild. Files are unpacked with uid=buildd and gid=buildd, given that the temporary directory has lost the setgid bit. On GNU/kFreeBSD, the temporary directory has also lost the setgid bit, and is also uid=buildd, gid=sbuild. Files are unpacked with uid=buildd and gid=sbuild as the gid is determined by the parent directory. Some coreutils tests fail if the files are not unpack with gid being the primary group of the user. They are skipped if the directory is setgid, but the kFreeBSD case is not taken into account. I'll temporary change /buildd to gid=buildd on the buildds, but it looks like we need a fix at some point. coreutils should probably be fixed, but skipping the tests is probably not a good idea either. I wonder if we should change dpkg to also force uid and gid of the temporary directory while unpacking. I suspect that other packages than coreutils might be affected. Guillem, as a dpkg maintainer, do you have an opinion on that? -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
