--- Begin Message ---Package: util-linux Version: 2.37.2-3 Severity: serious Tags: patch ftbfs Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past) Chris, Whilst building a local version of util-linux 2.37.2-3, the misc/swaplabel test failed. I believe this is caused by the change in behaviour of mkswap, which now complains on stderr if the provided image contains holes. My build environment is pbuilder/cowbuilder chroot with /var/cache/pbuilder mounted as ext3. Apparently the call to fallocate() in tests/ts/misc/swaplabel allocates a file with holes that mkswap then complains about. The additional, unexpected text in /build/util-linux-2.37.2/tests/output/misc/swaplabel.err is: mkswap: <swapfile> contains holes or other unsupported extents. This swap file can be rejected by kernel on swap activation! Use --verbose for more details. which directly causes the failure. I have worked around it with the attached patch which invokes fallocate() with the -x flag. Although, I suppose fallocate could be dispensed with and truncate always used instead.

If fallocate is used to create the file, use POSIX semantics to ensure the file has no holes. This fixes the test failure misc: swaplabel ...
