Package: keyutils Followup-For: Bug #895463 User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu bionic ubuntu-patch
Dear Christian, This bug is reproducible in Ubuntu, and I tracked it down to the change to build /bin/bash with -fPIE, which changes the 'file' signature for /proc/$$/exe (aka /bin/bash) to no longer report that it is an "[LM]SB executable". I have uploaded the attached patch to Ubuntu, which makes keyutils' endianness detection portable to systems which build with -fPIE. Please consider including it in Debian as well. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
