emerge --info output

As part of a system update, gzip should be updated to version 1.6. However, it fails in its test suite.

Steps to reproduce :
1. FEATURES="test" emerge -1 app-arch/gzip

Comment 3 Anthony Basile gentoo-dev 2015-04-21 15:16:00 UTC
For reasons I don't yet understand, its failing the disk full test.

On glibc I get:

# gzip --help >/dev/full 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
1
# gzip --version >/dev/full 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
1


On uclibc I get:

# gzip --help >/dev/full 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
0
# gzip --version >/dev/full 2>/dev/null ; echo $?
0

It fails the same way for all the built functions:

gzip gunzip gzexe zcat zforce zless zmore znew gzip gunzip gzexe zcat zforce zless zmore znew gzip gunzip gzexe zcat zforce zless zmore znew
Comment 4 Anthony Basile gentoo-dev 2015-04-21 15:20:25 UTC
More succinctly you can see the problem with:

glibc:

# echo "hi" > /dev/full
-bash: echo: write error: No space left on device
#  gzip --version > /dev/full
gzip: write error: No space left on device
#

uclibc:

# echo "hi" > /dev/full
-su: echo: write error: No space left on device
# gzip --version > /dev/full
# 


So >/dev/full is working on uclibc, just not for gzip.
Comment 5 Anthony Basile gentoo-dev 2015-04-25 20:03:14 UTC
The following reduced code show the problem:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>

int main() {
        printf("sutff\n");
        if (fclose (stdout) != 0)
                error (0, errno, "");
        return 0;
}


On glibc, building this program and running gives

# ./test > /dev/full
./test: : No space left on device
#

while on uclibc it is silent:

# ./test > /dev/full
#

uclibc support in Gentoo has been removed.
