Hi! Fedora 7, 8 and 9 are shipping a version of fakeroot that is affected by a somewhat nasty race condition. The bug was characterised here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=381016 , and with trivial repo steps here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446351 . This bug was fixed in 1.8.2 - F7,8,9 ship 1.6.4. Hopefully, F9/F8 can get an updated version of the package included. Help and pointers welcome :-) If that's not possible, I will prepare a package for the school server and offer it here. To Clint - looking for a link to the latest version to grace this email, I cannot find a source package or a tagged package anywhere. The most recent release I can see on Debian is 1.9.5 on Lenny and 1.9.6 on Sid, but there are no upstream tarballs on Alioth. Fakeroot is useful on many platforms - is it possible to arrange for publishing the tarballs somewhere? cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
