Package: fakechroot Version: 2.16-1 Severity: important Hi,
I can actually confirm the following for all fakechroot verions from 2.9 onward. Following test setup: sudo debootstrap --variant=minbase sid /tmp/test-chroot echo foo > /tmp/foo echo bar > /tmp/test-chroot/tmp/bar ln -s /tmp/bar /tmp/test-chroot/link1 ln -s /tmp/foo /tmp/test-chroot/link2 ln -s /tmp/test-chroot/tmp/bar /tmp/test-chroot/link3 First test: readlink $ fakeroot fakechroot chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ readlink /link1 /tmp/bar $ fakeroot fakechroot chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ readlink /link2 /tmp/foo $ fakeroot fakechroot chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ readlink /link3 /tmp/bar The third link should read /tmp/test-chroot/tmp/bar as it was created like that. To check: $ sudo chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ readlink /link1 /tmp/bar $ sudo chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ readlink /link2 /tmp/foo $ sudo chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ readlink /link3 /tmp/test-chroot/tmp/bar Second test: cat links $ fakeroot fakechroot chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ cat /link1 cat: /link1: No such file or directory $ fakeroot fakechroot chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ cat /link2 foo $ fakeroot fakechroot chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ cat /link3 bar /link1 should've been resolved correctly, because /tmp/bar exists in /tmp/test-chroot. /link2 should not have resolved because /tmp/foo only exists outside the chroot. /link3 should not have been resolved either because /tmp/test-chroot/tmp/bar is only visible like that from outside the chroot. To check: $ sudo chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ cat /link1 bar $ sudo chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ cat /link2 cat: /link2: No such file or directory $ sudo chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ cat /link3 cat: /link3: No such file or directory Third test: cat files $ fakeroot fakechroot chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ cat /tmp/bar bar $ fakeroot fakechroot chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ cat /tmp/foo cat: /tmp/foo: No such file or directory $ fakeroot fakechroot chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ cat /tmp/test-chroot/tmp/bar cat: /tmp/test-chroot/tmp/bar: No such file or directory all works as expected $ sudo chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ cat /tmp/bar bar $ sudo chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ cat /tmp/foo cat: /tmp/foo: No such file or directory $ sudo chroot /tmp/test-chroot/ cat /tmp/test-chroot/tmp/bar cat: /tmp/test-chroot/tmp/bar: No such file or directory As a result I suspect there is something wrong with readlink(2)? Hope all this helps a bit to fix the issue. cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
