Bug#837351: tar: FTBFS on kfreebsd: --numeric-owner basic tests FAILED

2018-11-14 Thread Carsten Leonhardt 
Control: tags -1 + patch

Hi,

at the moment it's difflink.at (test number 92) that is failing for
kFreeBSD.

The test assumes "ln -L" is default behaviour, which seems to be correct
on Linux, but not on BSD, where "ln -P" seems to be default (tested on
kFreeBSD, FreeBSD and OpenBSD).

The attached patch adds an explicit "-P" to make sure the correct link
is created.

Build tested successfully on kfreebsd-amd64.

Regards,

Carsten

I just uploaded 1.29b-2 to unstable, with more test verbosity and capture
of the regression test in the build log.  I did a couple other minor
things too as long as I was making an upload, none of which seem likely
to affect this problem.

Good luck, and let me know how it goes!

Hi Bdale,
Ping; this is still an issue (I couldn't reproduce on falla either so
requested a give-back which failed before seeing this bug). An
alternative to that is to use TESTSUITEFLAGS:

> $(MAKE) check TESTSUITEFLAGS=-v

This is extremely verbose, but logs are only really interesting when
something needs debugging, so I don't see that as an issue myself
(though you may disagree). Do you think you'd be able to prepare an
upload with this, please (experimental is fine if you want to leave
unstable alone)?

Regards,
James

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the failure on the kfreebsd
porterboxes, so I requested a give-back to retry the build.

Bdale, perhaps you could use

$(MAKE) check || { cat tests/testsuite.log; false; }

to dump the testsuite log upon failure.

Relevant part of test-suite log?

I'm unlikely to find time to investigate this soon.  Help figuring out
what's going wrong and how to fix it would be appreciated.
