Hello Thibaut Paumard.
Please note that I cloned the bug report so it now has a new number.

Me neither... Thanks again for bringing the issue to my attention though.

I'm under the impression kfreebsd is no longer a blocker for testing
migration, but I might be mistaken.
AFAIK kfreebsd was never a release arch, just a tech preview for wheezy
but no longer so for jessie.
I'll double-check this with the release team.

I also lack time to deal with kfreebsd issues. Already invested
too much of my time in kfreebsd. Will wait for someone interested
in looking after kfreebsd to show up.
Please note that the sysvinit installability issue is also affecting
hurd[1] for other reasons and being handled. Unfortunately I don't know
who'll take care of kfreebsd. I've never managed to even exchange mails
with anyone interested in kfreebsd. Please beware that I'll take my
hands away from kfreebsd as soon as the blackmailing of me having to
keep kfreebsd alive stops, which I was under the impression it had.
Some notes from words exchanged with upstream:
11:02 < ah> kzak: fwiw, commit d1f9c0969e apparently broke kfreebsd where
F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC is not defined....
[...]
11:07 < kzak> hmm... frankly, how usable is on kfreebsd code to parse stuff in
Linux sysfs? ;-)
11:08 < kzak> ah: it would be better to disable all the util which failed on
kfreebsd than fix F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC
[...]
11:11 < ah> lets pass on this until someone involved/motivated shows up to fix
it.
11:12 < kzak> I like this idea :-)
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
