Ah, there's nothing standard about running an autobuilder as root. None of
the official Debian autobuilders run as root, the most any of them do is use
sudo as the rootcmd instead of fakeroot which means the binary target is run
as root -- these testsuite failures happen in the build target, not the
binary target.
Hi Steve,
do you mean the the common-build-arch target should not be run under rootcmd?
Some problems are fixed by a previous patch I've sent and wich has
been integrated upstream. Other problems are related to a strange, at
least for me, behaviour of fakeroot:
-----------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fakeroot
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# whoami
root
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# echo $USER
walter
-----------------------------------------------
This behaviour confuses the testsuite. Is it the expected behaviour?
ciao
walter
