Package: fakeroot
Version: 1.2.10
Severity: important
When tracking down problems with a build script that extensively uses fakeroot
I found that the fakeroot script doesn't properly wait for faked to terminate.
This introduces a race condition that may trash the save-file on successive
fakeroot calls.
The offending part of the fakeroot script is:
|trap "kill -s TERM $PID ; wait $PID >/dev/null 2>&1" EXIT INT
Because 'faked' has detached itself from the terminal, it cannot be waited for
with the sh builtin command 'wait'.
When the output redirection to /dev/null is removed from the above line, you
will see the error message:
|wait: pid ... is not a child of this shell
This may lead to concurrent access of multiple faked daemons called with the
'--load' and '--save-file' options, especially on a heavily loaded machine,
or if the save-file is quite large.
Reproduction:
I did not yet find an easy way to reproduce this bug consistently, but the
implications of the failing wait system call for the faked subprocess should
be obvious.
