When building debian packages with 2.9.2/2.9.3 released source tarball, the vtep-ctl command packed in openvswitch-vtep_*.deb is not a linked binary, but a script wrapper. It appears to work when installed on the same machine that builds the packages before cleaning up the build workspace, but it does not work when installed on other machines. The final binary is linked when first time vtep-ctl command is executed, so it won't success on other machines.
This bug does not happen for OVS 2.5.2 Steps to Reproduce Download 2.9.3 release tarball Build .deb packages with instructions on http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/intro/install/debian/ Copy packages to another machine and install openvswitch-vtep_2.9.3_amd64_1.deb as well as its dependencies Execute vtep-ctl --help Expected Result The command executes successfully Actual Result Following error information is printed: /usr/bin/vtep-ctl: line 202: cd: /tmp/test/openvswitch-2.9.3: No such file or directory gcc: error: vtep/vtep-ctl.o: No such file or directory gcc: error: vtep/.libs/libvtep.so: No such file or directory gcc: error: lib/.libs/libopenvswitch.so: No such file or directory And the /usr/bin/vtep-ctl file is a bash script (a link wrapper) System Information Build in debian:latest docker container (CentOS 7 docker host) Workaround Apply this patch fixes the problem (should be the correct fix): debian/openvswitch-vtep.install | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/debian/openvswitch-vtep.install b/debian/openvswitch-vtep.install index ee32efa4c..b7852649d 100644 --- a/debian/openvswitch-vtep.install +++ b/debian/openvswitch-vtep.install @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/ovs-vtep usr/share/openvswitch/vtep.ovsschema -vtep/vtep-ctl usr/bin +usr/bin/vtep-ctl 2018-10-29 hubo
