package: piuparts severity: normal While looking at the piatti piuparts report Andreas pointed to today, I noticed that failures are racking up for debsums modifications.
The debsums man page, under Caveats, says that files which have been replaced by another package may be erroneously reported as changed. Multiple ownership can cause a false. It seems that a significant portion of new failures are for debsums, and a significant portion of these fall in this case. http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/binutils-multiarch_2.22-7.1.log /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpEXGvJj/usr/bin/strings /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpEXGvJj/usr/bin/gprof /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpEXGvJj/usr/bin/readelf /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpEXGvJj/usr/bin/size /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpEXGvJj/usr/bin/nm /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpEXGvJj/usr/bin/strip /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpEXGvJj/usr/bin/ranlib /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpEXGvJj/usr/bin/ar /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpEXGvJj/usr/bin/addr2line /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpEXGvJj/usr/bin/objcopy /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpEXGvJj/usr/bin/objdump 0m27.1s DEBUG: Command failed (status=2), but ignoring error: ['debsums', '--root', '/org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpEXGvJj', '-ac'] 0m27.1s ERROR: FAIL: debsums reports modifications inside the chroot: $ apt-file search /usr/bin/strings binutils: /usr/bin/strings binutils-multiarch: /usr/bin/strings I've seen this with dpkg diversions as well: http://piuparts.debian.org/squeeze2wheezy/fail/gnome-icon-theme_3.4.0-2.log /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmplq_ENa/usr/sbin/update-icon-caches 2m56.0s DEBUG: Command failed (status=2), but ignoring error: ['debsums', '--root', '/org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmplq_ENa', '-ac'] 2m56.0s ERROR: FAIL: debsums reports modifications inside the chroot: http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/gnome-gmail_1.8.2-1.log /org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmp_JcjF7/usr/sbin/update-icon-caches 2m17.6s DEBUG: Command failed (status=2), but ignoring error: ['debsums', '--root', '/org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmp_JcjF7', '-ac'] 2m17.6s ERROR: FAIL: debsums reports modifications inside the chroot: $ dpkg --search /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches diversion by libgtk-3-bin from: /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches diversion by libgtk-3-bin to: /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches.gtk2 libgtk-3-bin, libgtk2.0-bin: /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches I believe that debsums should not report failures for modified files which are owned by multiple packages, or are subject to diversion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
