-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is umask o+w set where the test directory 'sticky' is being created?
I compiled coreutils and ran its tests. ls-misc passed. The colour your `ls` returns for the directory 'sticky' in the test 'ls-misc', 30;42, corresponds to other-writable sticky directories. The colour that's expected, 37;44, corresponds to sticky directories. - From src/ls.c: if ((mode & S_ISVTX) && (mode & S_IWOTH)) type = C_STICKY_OTHER_WRITABLE; else if ((mode & S_IWOTH) != 0) type = C_OTHER_WRITABLE; else if ((mode & S_ISVTX) != 0) type = C_STICKY; So what may be causing the behaviour you're witnessing, is the directory 'sticky' being o+w. With umask set to o+w, all tests but ls-misc pass. (ls-misc fails with the same output as you posted) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkqhnm8ACgkQwJW94wGeiun8dgCeLhCmit869Ez0+NgLAMoP+N6k e2IAn0z52xnD9lc+BSwf1sHcIrohU9Il =Xn7j -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
