Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. FEATURES="test"  emerge "=sys-apps/findutils-4.3.6"



Expected Results:  
No failed tests.

Please see attached log/text for more information.

Created an attachment (id=120745) [edit]
emerge info and additional info 

Maybe important: filesystem - XFS

Fails findutils like e2fsprogs on xfs-partitions now? (because a file handling
test fails)

This seems to be a kernel (or where is open declared?) bug.

mkdir tmp
touch tmp/unt
chmod 444 tmp/unt
strace sh -c 'echo J >> tmp/unt '
open("tmp/unt", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND, 0666) = -1 EACCES (Permission
denied)

sudo strace sh -c 'echo J >> tmp/unt '
open("tmp/unt", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND, 0666) = 3

Sorry didn't know I hit that button.

No problem on ext3-partition and testing enabled. (~x86)

Created an attachment (id=121159) [edit]
findutils-4.3.6-r1.ebuild-fprint-unwritable.patch

Adds fprint-unwritable to tests only run when userprivs is set.

The patch works for me. (manually changed *.ebuild and did
digest/unpack/compile/test)

It doesn't matter whether "userprivs" is set in "FEATURES=" or "USE=" or not.
Always drops the fprint-unwritable test and so has no problem with test suite.

Thank you. How will it be included in next findutils release?

Reopen to let base-system close when ebuild is fixed.

In reply to comment #10: You are most welcome, but since I'm just an AT I can't
"fix" the bug, just research and provide a patch. So I have no idea as  to if
and when the fix will be in the package.

Would it help to bring this "ticket" to the attention of Mike Frysinger
<vapier@gentoo.org>? (Is he the maintainer?)

He isn't the maintainer, but every member of base-system (and thus vapier)
receives every comment. They'll get to the bug when they have time.

That's fine then. Thank you and enjoy the weekend with less bugs ;)

added a fix like access.exp and mailed upstream

Installed and tested findutils 4.3.7 and works like a dream now. Wonderful.
Thank you all!
