Public bug reported: This is due to the following: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-03/msg00308.html
"coreutils' "make check" failed on rawhide due to a kernel change in how readlink and readlinkat treat the empty file name. Before, they'd fail with ENOENT. Now, it's EINVAL." This will affect more than libvirt, (see Debian http://bugs.debian.org /cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=630902) but the patch in the above bug can be applied to gnulib/tests/test-areadlink.h to get these building again on newer releases. This is SRU-worthy, as libvirt will not build once the buildds are running newer kernels. ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Maverick) Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Maverick) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Natty) Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Natty) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: m4 (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Natty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Maverick) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817187 Title: change in readlink() errno in 2.6.39 and later kernels causes FTBFS for packages with older gnulib To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/817187/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
