Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-23 17:39:41 UTC
Ah yes. This appears to be a new test in the 1.15.6 release. It probably clashes with either gcc 4.4 or glibc 2.11 because I don't see it on a stable x86 system. The compiler even warns about the upcoming buffer overflow it appears.
Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-23 17:40:58 UTC
RESTRICT=test is now in place.
Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-23 17:55:29 UTC
Eh? If it's a single test that's broken, can't you just sed the hell out of it? Rather than restrict tests entirely (which everybody will forget about next turn, so no more tests will be executed for the package for the next year or so and it'll stay broken)?
Comment 5 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-24 03:33:21 UTC
Why would everybody forget about it? I have checks in place myself that remind me of ebuilds that set RESTRICT=test. I just assumed other developers keep note of such things as well.

Stops the segfaults, but the test still fails
Comment 7 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-24 04:40:18 UTC
dpkg_ar_normalize_name() seems to fail to strip both spaces and slashes too.

 void

Adding a printf reveals that the function doesn't change anything in the struct:

PASS: t-varbuf
arh.ar_name="member-name/   "
arh.ar_name="member-name    "
PASS: t-ar
Comment 8 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-24 05:28:30 UTC
OK, I've disabled the ar test for this version. It does fail again further on, as did previous dpkg versions IIRC, in one of the perl tests.
Comment 9 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-24 05:43:48 UTC
I have disabled the second failing test and the suite appears to finish as it should now.

Whereas the first failure probably occurs because it hasn't been tested with a new enough GCC (4.4 triggers it for me), the latter failure is probably caused because the test was not updated to reflect changes in the perl module's API.

I've made disabling these tests conditional on the dpkg version so that both these tests will be run in any newer upstream version.

Can I call it fixed now?

Still fails — the problem is related to the two fortify warnings (“will always overflow destination buffer”), which make them crash with GCC 4.5.

http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commitdiff;h=db0b70b

This fixes the test but not the overflow warning in t-ar.c
Comment 12 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-10-04 20:24:43 UTC
Nevermind, I'm blind.  Yes it does.

That appears to have been released in 1.15.8.
Comment 14 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-10-11 07:45:45 UTC
Cool, fixed then.
