Bug 130246 – coreutils-5.94-r1 doesn't emerge with FEATURES="test"

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adam 2006-04-17 04:59:29 UTC]

I have encountered this issue during 
emerge -D -u -v world. All other updates went successfully, only this coreutils build fails when emerging world.

My system is fairy old and I have only remote access to it, if anything goes seriously wrong (=problems with booting) I will have serious troubles with fixing it. That is why I prefer to have tests enabled and I did not try to proceed  with the installation with tests disabled.

Here is my emerge info:

And the failed test is:

might want to see about updating your gcc to latest stable 3.4.x

[Comment 4 awal11 2006-04-19 02:48:49 UTC]

I have tried with gcc 3.4.5 without any improvement.

I have also sent this error to bug-coreutils@gnu@org maillist
and here is the response
http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg06578.html

I have applied the requested patch to shred.c and the problem is fixed,
shred works, all make check tests are passed.

Probably will need to update shred in coreutils also.

added to current 5.94 patchset ... it'll be in the next release

thanks for getting this tracked down

[Comment 6 Adam 2006-09-13 14:57:16 UTC]

I have checked and confirmed that it works
