Package: python3-binwalk Version: 2.3.4+dfsg1-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: shor...@yandex.by
Dear Maintainer, While trying to unpack everything from a blob that contains a cramfs using the "binwalk -e blob_name.bin" I've encountered an error: WARNING: Extractor.execute failed to run external extractor 'cramfsck -x 'cramfs-root' '%e'': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'cramfsck', 'cramfsck -x 'cramfs-root' '%e'' might not be installed correctly Sure enough, there truly is no "cramfsck" executable, neither in /usr/bin nor in /usr/sbin. I've found it in "cramfs-tools" repository (https://github.com/npitre/cramfs-tools/blob/master/cramfsck.c) but there is no such package in Debian. There is an "fsck.cramfs" from the "util-linux" package that is doing what "cramfsck" is, albeit with a different arguments: "-x" is "--extract" in "fsck.cramfs". The bug was reported upstream some time ago (https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk/issues/623) with not much attention (and latest commit in the repository was around 7 months ago). Issue is also present with two other Linux distributions: Arch Linux (tested by myself right now) and it's derivative Manjaro (encountered by at least one user 2.5 years ago https://forum.manjaro.org/t/how-to-install-cramfsswap/48970) While so far it seems that this is the problem of the upstream to adapt to distributions using "util-linux"'s "fsck.cramfs" instead of "cramfsck" the issue is also in the fact that "fsck.cramfs" is in /usr/sbin, which is not in the PATH of non-root users on Debian by default. As I don't think anyone would try to install a whole another package for functionality that is present in "util-linux" and neither it is possible to just symlink "cramfsck" to "fsck.cramfs" due to argument incompatibility, the only probable way of this is to patch "binwalk" to try "fsck.cramfs" and maybe symlink "fsck.cramfs" to /usr/bin for non-root users to see. However, of course, maybe you can see a better resolution of this. I will try to figure out some way of patching the "binwalk" for the new utility in the meantime, if nobody beats me to it. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-11-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages python3-binwalk depends on: ii libmagic1 1:5.44-3 ii python3 3.11.2-1+b1 Versions of packages python3-binwalk recommends: ii arj 3.10.22-26 ii bzip2 1.0.8-5+b1 ii cramfsswap 1.4.2 ii mtd-utils 1:2.1.5-1 ii ncompress 4.2.4.6-6 ii p7zip 16.02+dfsg-8 ii p7zip-full 16.02+dfsg-8 ii python3-pyqtgraph 0.13.1-4 ii sleuthkit 4.11.1+dfsg-1+b1 ii squashfs-tools 1:4.5.1-1 python3-binwalk suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
