Package: dracut Version: 109-7 Tags: forky sid Severity: serious Control: affects -1 src:linux-signed-amd64
Dear maintainer: During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, package src:linux-signed-amd64 failed to build with this error message: /usr/bin/dracut: line 2772: cpio: command not found So it seems as if dracut had a missing dependency on cpio. Or maybe it fails to detect that 3cpio is installed instead and keeps using cpio anyway. Or maybe 3cpio should provide cpio and use the alternatives mechanism so that /usr/bin/cpio exists and may be used. This is why I've put "?" in the subject. Please use reassign if appropriate. The error does not always happen, which is strange, but it happens often enough to consider the issue as RC. I've put a bunch of failed build logs here (for linux-signed-amd64) for reference: https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202601/ As always, if you cannot reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where this randomness is reproducible. Thanks.
