package: lmbench version: 3.0-a9-1 Bug#496427 introduced a regression in lat_proc benchmark program.
/usr/lib/lmbench/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lat_proc tries to measure latency of executing /var/tmp/lmbench/hello . However, since path of hello program in /usr/lib/lmbench/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lmbench was not updated from /tmp/hello to /var/tmp/lmbench/hello accordingly, lat_proc program tries to execute non-existent hello program. if [ X$BENCHMARK_OS = XYES -o X$BENCHMARK_PROC = XYES ]; then cp hello /tmp/hello for i in fork exec shell do lat_proc -P $SYNC_MAX $i done rm -f /tmp/hello fi As a result, latency reported by /usr/lib/lmbench/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lat_proc does not include latency of executing /var/tmp/lmbench/hello . I don't know whether Bug#496427 introduced more regressions or not. I think we should carefully review any /tmp usage in /usr/lib/lmbench/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lmbench . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
