Package: libc6 Version: 2.10.2-3 Hello Debian libc maintainers,
I run a sid chroot on top of etch, using the etch kernel linux 2.6.18-6-686, and dpkg started to fail with tar: ./preinst: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor touch also fails: %mkdir /tmp/bar %touch /tmp/bar touch: setting times of `/tmp/bar': Bad file descriptor strace report: utimensat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/bar", NULL, 0) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented) It seems that the issue is that the etch kernel does not implement utimensat. A similar report can be found at: <http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/01/msg00205.html> Cheers, Bill. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.10.2-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.2-5 GCC support library Versions of packages libc6 recommends: pn libc6-i686 <none> (no description available) Versions of packages libc6 suggests: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy pn glibc-doc <none> (no description available) ii locales 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: National Language ( -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
