Package: mbr Version: 1.1.10-2 Severity: serious Hi Santiago, I've tried to rebuild mbr for Univention Corporate Server, a Debian derived distribution based on Debian stable (currently Lenny, our next release will be based on Squeeze).
The stable version of mbr fails to build from source: make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jmm/mbr-1.1.10' /usr/bin/make check-TESTS make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jmm/mbr-1.1.10' gcc -E -xc table.S86 -o table.s86.tmp && mv table.s86.tmp table.s86 as86 -0 -b table.b.tmp -s table.sym -l table.lst table.s86 && mv table.b.tmp table.b PASS: tests/inst-1 PASS: tests/inst-3 PASS: tests/inst-4 PASS: tests/inst-6 PASS: tests/inst-7 PASS: tests/inst-8 Failed to claim V86 area: Operation not permitted FAIL: tests/mbr-1 Failed to claim V86 area: Operation not permitted FAIL: tests/mbr-2 Failed to claim V86 area: Operation not permitted FAIL: tests/mbr-3 Failed to claim V86 area: Operation not permitted FAIL: tests/mbr-4 Failed to claim V86 area: Operation not permitted FAIL: tests/mbr-5 Failed to claim V86 area: Operation not permitted FAIL: tests/mbr-6 Failed to claim V86 area: Operation not permitted FAIL: tests/testdisk-1 Failed to claim V86 area: Operation not permitted FAIL: tests/testdisk-2 Failed to claim V86 area: Operation not permitted FAIL: tests/testdisk-3 Failed to claim V86 area: Operation not permitted FAIL: tests/testdisk-4 Failed to claim V86 area: Operation not permitted FAIL: tests/testdisk-5 Failed to claim V86 area: Operation not permitted FAIL: tests/testdisk-6 ===================== 12 of 18 tests failed ===================== make[1]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1 rm table.s86 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jmm/mbr-1.1.10' make: *** [build] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 When googling for the error cause I noticed that similar build failures were spotted in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mbr/+bug/765979 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mbr/+bug/445643 The test suite passes if mbr is build as root. I tried the version from unstable, which builds fine when building as a standard user. I've filed this with RC severity, since there is at least one person triaging stable RC bugs.
