[ Reason ]
Linux v6.6 blocked the mode change of symlinks, with commit
5d1f903f75a80daa4dfb3d84e114ec8ecbf29956 ("attr: block mode changes of
symlinks").
This was in turn backported to v6.1.55, with
6a84939cc7dd6f970c2621ded82c4d9ea0068b1b, and is part of src:linux
6.1.55-1, which is the version currently in bookworm.
This breaks crun 1.8.1, as found in bookworm, when running containers
with systemd as the init system.
The issue has been addressed upstream with commit
57262a2710c83fa08767f0ce3ba7a80993515bb2 ("ignore ENOTSUP when chmod a
symlink"), as well as 14afa8a46e2e83608a3a219402bce8ea8d071192 ("utils:
fix ignore ENOTSUP when chmod a symlink"), both part of crun 1.9.1.
[ Impact ]
Users are unable to start containers running systemd as their init
system. For example this now fails:
podman run --rm -d docker.io/jrei/systemd-debian:12
[ Tests ]
The manual test as mentioned above, as well as non-systemd images that
continue to work, like:
podman run --rm -it debian:sid
(Sadly we don't have any automated tests. crun in unstable now has
autopkgtests, but even these have the isolation-machine restriction and
are thus inoperable in Debian's CI, so I've elected to not backport them
here.)
[ Risks ]
The code is pretty trivial, I think, and has been part of upstream since
v1.9.1, released in September 26. trixie has v1.11, and sid has v1.11.1.
No alternatives that I know of.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
One change, effectively: to ignore ENOTSUP when chmod'ing a symlink,
/run/shm in the most popular broken case.
[ Other info ]
This has been reported by multiple users, cf. #1053821.
Given this constitutes a regression introduced by another package's
stable update, I consider this is an urgent issue, and ask for RMs to
copy this to stable-updates.
Thanks,
Faidon
