Hello,
dpkg currently FTBFS on !linux:
../../scripts/t/Dpkg_Source_Package.t .. ok
Dpkg_Dist_Files.t: error: badly formed line in files list file, line 1
# Looks like you planned 26 tests but ran 22.
# Looks like your test exited with 255 just after 22.
../../scripts/t/Dpkg_Dist_Files.t ..
Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
Failed 4/26 subtests
This is because when looking through files in the directory, load_dir
also looks at "." and "..", and it happens that on kfreebsd & hurd, one
can open a directory as a file (and we get the content of the directory
inode), so dpkg should explicitly test against directories, here is a
patch proposal.
This is quite bad since libdpkg-perl depends on dpkg:hurd-i386 (>=
1.18.11), so all packages using debhelper are currently non-buildable.
