Package: qemu-user-static Version: 1:5.2+dfsg-9 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: silvano.cirujano-cue...@siemens.com
Current packaging of qemu-user-static is providing two different things at once and without any declared configuration possibility (no .conffiles): * QEMU-User statically linked binaries. * binfmt_misc configuration >From release "buster" upwards the binfmt_misc configuration being provided by this package is registering the qemu-user-static binaries with the flag "fix_binary". This configuration might be convenient in most cases (suppose that's was it's so now), but is a problem in some others. Not being able to configure binfmt_misc is a blocker for this package in the scenarios where that default configuration doesn't fit. The configuration can be changed providing different update-binfmts templates than those provided by this package and running update-binfmts. But qemu-user-static upgrades overwrite the changes. I don't know which is the best solution, but one possible is putting the update-binfmts templates now available in /usr/share/binfmts under /etc and making them configuration files (adding a .conffiles). Just for those curious when this might be an issue. Containers trying to use new syscalls not provided by the QEMU-User binaries provided by the host require newer QEMU-User binaries. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-security'), (50, 'unstable'), (10, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled qemu-user-static depends on no packages.
