Package: tiger Version: 1:3.2.3-4 Severity: normal Hi,
Tiger reports that NEW: --WARN-- [dev003w] File /dev/sndstat is a regular file in a device directory. NEW: --WARN-- [dev003w] File /dev/stderr is a regular file in a device directory. while $ ls -l /dev/sndstat /dev/std* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 23 18:46 /dev/sndstat -> /proc/asound/oss/sndstat lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 23 18:46 /dev/stderr -> /proc/self/fd/2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 23 18:46 /dev/stdin -> /proc/self/fd/0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 23 18:46 /dev/stdout -> /proc/self/fd/1 On the other hand, only /dev/stdout is present in EXPECTEDFILES in check_devices. I'm not sure which part of this is intentional, but the [ -f "$file" ] check follows symbolic links, so the emitted warning above is rather misleading. What's more, this check depends on the standard file descriptors of the checker (whether its stdin/stdout/stderr is a terminal or redirected to some file), which further obscures the situation. I recommend moving the explicit symlink check to the front to combat this issue. -- Thanks, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
