Re: afflib fails to build on some architectures

* Simson Garfinkel sims...@acm.org [20091213 01:15]:

 I have had a persistent problem getting the tests to work because
 the binary and test files are in different locations when I am do
 a make check vs. a make distcheck. The directory where the
 binaries are is set to be read-only in some cases but not in other
 cases. There is a file that is distributed which ends up
 I-dont-know-where.

 If you can show me a list of all of the environment variables at
 my disposal for the test scripts and how they are supposed to be
 used, I can put out a bug fix within the next 24 hours.

Sadly I can't reproduce it via *manually* building it on an affected
plattform as it works within the following environment:

agricola% env
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LANG=C
USER=mika
LOGNAME=mika
HOME=/home/mika
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games

SHELL=/bin/zsh
SSH_CLIENT=[...]
SSH_CONNECTION=[...]
SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/2
TERM=screen
SHLVL=2
PWD=/home/mika/afflib-3.5.2+dfsg
OLDPWD=/home/mika
_=/usr/bin/env

% debuild -us -uc
[...]
dpkg-deb: building package `libafflib0' in 
`../libafflib0_3.5.2+dfsg-1_armel.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package `libafflib-dev' in

dpkg-deb: building package `afflib-dbg' in

dpkg-deb: building package `afflib-tools' in 
`../afflib-tools_3.5.2+dfsg-1_armel.deb'.

Could the empty TERM variable (as mentioned in
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?suite=unstablep=afflib#fail-afflib-armel)
be related to the issue?
Any race conditions depending on the power of the build machine?

afflib fails to build on some architectures

2009-12-12 Thread Michael Prokop
[Please CC me on replies as I'm not subscribed to the aff-discuss list, thanks.]

Hi,

I'm member of the Debian forensics team and wanted to inform you
that we noticed a problem with building afflib on some
architectures:

  https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?suite=unstablep=afflib

As you can see the tests fail at/with:

  af_open(blank.aff): No such file or directory
  ENCRYPTED SEGMENTS IN BLANKE.AFF --- STOP
  FAIL: test_passphrase.sh

The bugs are reported in Debian's BTS at:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=552049
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=549832

As this is a showstopper for afflib being shipped with the upcoming
stable release of Debian I'd appreciate any help so we can resolve
this issue.

Do you have any ideas how we could fix this issue (without having to
disable the tests of course :))?

BTW: We already have a patch which addresses a bashism issue in the
tools/test_*.sh scripts. You're welcome to apply it in your upstream
tree:

  
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/dl/afflib/3.5.2+dfsg-1/03-bashism.patch

PS: The mailaddress referenced in the source tree where bugreports
should be sent to is broken (mails to b...@afflib.org just bounce),
Cc-ing Simson directly therefore.

Thanks.

regards,
-mika-
