Bug#407628: coreutils FTBFS on s390

2007-01-20 Thread Andreas Barth
Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5
Severity: serious


The package failed on the buildd with the error below, please see
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=coreutilsver=5.97-5.2arch=s390stamp=1162820579file=log
for the full log.

According to waldi, this is probably due to the fact that the unstable
chroot is bind-mounted to the place where the buildd chroots into.

So it's a build environment problem. Try building it in a different 
environment. I've tried to engage the s390 people over this previously 
and haven't gotten anywhere; I'm not sure what else I can do. The test 
is there for a reason, to make sure that the tools aren't broken. There 
is definately an invalid result being returned on that platform, so the 
test fails. I don't have any ability to debug this since I can't 
duplicate it on any other platform and I don't have an s390. IIRC, I 
tried building it manually before and it worked fine...

perhaps this information helps you? (Or anyone else who is chasing this
bug) [BTW, the main reason for me submitting this bug is that we have
one central place where all the information is stored]

Sure. And if that information had been provided when I asked for 
information in August 2006 I would have looked into it then. Also, 
closed without explanation is bullshit, as I said then. I guess 
looking at the bug log was too much work, like replying with some 
details on how to reproduce the problem that I couldn't reproduce on any 
arch (including s390). Even the 2006-08-08 buildd run passes the 
pwd-long test 
(http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=coreutilsver=5.97-3arch=s390stamp=1155033735file=log) 
and fails on something completely different, leading to my upload of 
5.97-4 to fix that problem and the closing of the bug report of the 
failure of the pwd-log test as a platform-specific build environment 
problem.
