Bug#610749: fakeroot fails ownership with kfreebsd systems

2011-01-21 Thread Mats Erik Andersson
Package: fakeroot
Version: 1.14.5-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org

I have observed a very strange failure when using fakeroot
with dpkg-buildpackage under kfreebsd-amd64.

The issue at stake is that links are not assigned the ownership
of the superuser. Sometimes even group setting fails, but that is
irregular enough that I have problems reproducing also the
group-failure in a small package.

I include in this bug report a minimal package "wrong-issue",
which consistently fails in setting ownership "root" on the
symlink "still-wrong-issue" when built on kfreebsd-amd64.
The command was

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -B

In contrast, with no surprise, the build succeeds with

dpkg-buildpackage -rsudo -B

and there is no problem with fakeroot in GNU/Linux.
I have no good explanation at this moment, but I have
rebooted the kfreebsd-system and still the same failure
persists.

Best regards,
Mats Erik Andersson, DM

Re: dh_link fails owner in GNU/kFreeBSD

strange, I've never heard about such issues. Could you please try and
narrow it down to a minimal test case, and open a bug against the
fakeroot package accordingly?

Afaik wireless does not currently work due to a bug in ifconfig:

A better diagnose:

   Failing on owner/group:   dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

   Succeeding:   dpkg-buildpackage -rsudo

dh_link fails owner in GNU/kFreeBSD

2011-01-21 Thread Mats Erik Andersson
Hello all,

I observe that dh_link is not able to set owner "0:0"
on a link when used with GNU/kFreeBSD. Is this well known?

Look in the binary packages "kldutils" and freebsd-utils"
for examples of this failure. The same happens in the packages
I build.


Best regards,
Mats Erik Andersson, DM

Well, then I will prepare (have in fact done so, except init script,
and format "3.0 (quilt)") a separate package named `freebsd-quota'
built from manually extracted source out of freebsd-8.1-release.
I will file an ITP by the end of this European day, beginning night,
so issue a protest timely enough if you have a better alternative.

I was more intending at any preferred grouping of smaller patches
across the directory boundaries that were originally mentioned.
Now that I go for a separate package, I will follow my own head
in patch production.
