Package: src:procps Version: 2:4.0.4-7+hurd.1 Severity: important User: [email protected] Usertags: hurd-i386 X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected]
The procps package on GNU/Hurd installs some binaries with a .procps suffix: /usr/bin/kill.procps /usr/bin/ps.procps /usr/bin/uptime.procps /usr/bin/vmstat.procps However, only vmstat gets registered as an alternative: $ update-alternatives --list ps /bin/ps-hurd $ update-alternatives --list uptime /usr/bin/uptime-hurd $ update-alternatives --list vmstat /usr/bin/vmstat-hurd /usr/bin/vmstat.procps $ update-alternatives --list kill update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for kill The missing registration for kill is a problem, since no other version is provided. The built-in kill in the shell can be used, but if scripts explicitly use /bin/kill or /usr/bin/kill they fail. This causes FTBFS for packages that uses /bin/kill in the test scripts, see e.g. https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=myproxy The package above built fine in December (including successful tests on GNU/Hurd), but failed a binNMU now. So something seems to have happened since then. Mattias
