If something FTBFS on kfreebsd please just send a short note to us anyway, and if it's an essential package it's in our interest to get around to fixing it. It doesn't affect testing migrations meanwhile.
You clearly had some other things to say but it might have been better to discuss that in a separate thread on debian-bsd and/or other lists; so that the bug log is as clear and easy to follow as possible. Given how trivial bug #785796 really is, I wish it had been handled with much less effort all round.

To solve the immediate problem, we just need util-linux to build, it wouldn't even need to be entirely functional. Guillem's "patch 1" would do that, though it is messy and shouldn't be upstreamed or permanent: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?filename=kfreebsd-fcntl-dupfd-cloexec.patch;msg=5;att=1;bug=787042 (it could probably go away in the very next util-linux upload) His much cleaner fixes are patches 2 and 3 - these look OK to go upstream - with those you should no longer need patch 1: https://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2015/05/msg00050.html my testing feedback is here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2015/05/msg00051.html A longer-term fix is that we add support for F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, but that requires work on the buildds which will take several days. > I think I've managed to wrestle the BTS so that the *closed* bug no > longer should prevent testing migration. I think that was a BTS quirk of the bug not having either a 'found' or 'fixed' version. Being marked as 'done' makes no difference to it. Also the snapshot of BTS data is taken at around 1800 UTC so changes after that don't get considered until the *next* day's Britney run. Looks okay to migrate now, and sysvinit-utils too.
