Package: rootskel Version: +N/A; reported 2003-07-17 Severity: critical The recently created files in /lib/debian-installer.d/ break mklibs:
# Library reduction. mkdir -p ./tmp/floppy/tree/lib mklibs -v -d ./tmp/floppy/tree/lib --root=./tmp/floppy/tree `find ./tmp/floppy -type f -perm +0111 -o -name '*.so'` Command failed with status 1 : readelf --program-headers ./tmp/floppy/tree/lib/debian-installer.d/S30term-linux With output: readelf: Error: Unable to read in 25964 bytes of section headers readelf: Error: Not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start make: *** [floppy-tree-stamp] Error 1 This is due to recently introduced rpath checks. mklibs has code to prevent such bugs: objects = {} # map from inode to filename for prog in proglist: inode = os.stat(prog)[ST_INO] if objects.has_key(inode): debug(DEBUG_SPAM, prog, "is a hardlink to", objects[inode]) elif so_pattern.match(prog): debug(DEBUG_SPAM, prog, "is a library") elif script_pattern.match(open(prog).read(256)): debug(DEBUG_SPAM, prog, "is a script") else: objects[inode] = prog So, if those scripts would start with #! mklibs would happily ignore them. We have two solutions: 1. Either add #!/bin/sh to those scripts, even if they are only sourced in /sbin/debian-installer. 2. Put them into some other place outside /lib.
