#1251621 — Bug#1108635: unblock: inetutils/2:2.6-3

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: inetutils@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:inetutils
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package inetutils.

[ Reason ]

This update includes:

 - Fix for a test failure due to indeterministic filesystem behavior.
 - Fix for utmp functionality restoration and FTBFS on systemd systems
   during tests due to the mismatch between the glibc interfaces and
   the command line tools over utmp state.

[ Impact ]

A couple FTBFS, and feature loss due to the dropping of the utmp support.

[ Tests ]

The utmp change made the package build again when running under
systemd.

For the indeterministic filesystem behavior I had to create a local
patch to use disorderfs to force the indeterminism, to reproduce what
had been seen in the reproducible builders, and on some sparc64
buildds. (I'm attaching it to this request.) But in any case, the fix
involves disabling the unreliable test.

[ Risks ]

The unreliable test disablement seems like a no risk change.

The systemd change involves pulling utmp support from gnulib, which
tries to use libsystemd opportunistically, and otherwise falls back
to the previous codepaths to try to get the utmp information.

[ Checklist ]

  [√] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [√] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [√] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]

Attach the debdiff from -1 to -3, as I realized I should make the
libsystemd support linux-any specific.

unblock inetutils/2:2.6-3

Thanks,
Guillem
