Bugzilla Bug 70307

I have searched the filesystem to see if it was just installed in the wrong
place, but I haven't been able to find it. I tryed re-emerging and that did not
help.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. mount dd'ed file system at /dev/loop1
2. unrm /dev/loop1 > tct/unrm_output
3. lazarus -h unrm_output

Actual Results:  
Results in error:
Can't find the /etc/magic file

Expected Results:  
Create HTML formated output to analyse the free space in the filesystem.

Workaround #1:

$ ln -s /usr/share/misc/file/magic /etc/magic
$ lazarus -h unrm_output
Couldn't find /usr/lib/tct/etc/magic, switching over to /etc/magic

Workaround #2:
$ mkdir /usr/lib/tct/etc
$ ln -s /usr/share/misc/file/magic /usr/lib/tct/etc/magic

I've currently got it running on a ~500MB file. It's going to take quite a while. I'll report back when it's done.

I can't find lazarus or tct in portage.. what package is this bug against?

The coroners toolkit: app-forensics/tct masked by keyword ~x86

lazarus is a tool provided in this package.

BTW, it worked like a champ with the workaround in place. Not sure what other tools might be broken by the missing /usr/lib/tct/etc files. I'll using it a lot over the next week on a forensics project for school, so if I find any others, I'll post them.

The problem was that I missed the $magic_file variable in lazarus, when
creating the gentoo patch.  I have committed 1.15-r1 with an updated patch. 
Please test and verify that it solves the problem and let me know.

Thanks.

Created an attachment (id=43631) [edit]
Fixed missing semicolon in magic block.

Line 92 of /usr/lib/tct/bin/lazarus was missing a semicolon and produced the
error:

syntax error at /usr/sbin/lazarus line 92, near "die"
Execution of /usr/sbin/lazarus aborted due to compilation errors.

Added the semicolon as follows and it works fine:

#
#  we usually carry around the alternate magic file...
#
$magic_file="/usr/share/misc/file/magic";
die "Can't find $magic_file\n" unless (-f $magic_file);

Excuse my ignorance as to the process of submitting patches. I hope this is OK.
I fixed the tct-1.15-r1-gentoo.diff, rebuilt the digest, and re-emerged. Works
fine. The updated diff is attached

Usually diffs are the way to go.  For 1 byte though, it's probably a little
overboard ;)  Anyways, I just fixed the patch.  Thanks again.
