Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 439209
False FAIL in libuser src.rpm testsuite
Last modified: 2016-09-19 22:04:01 EDT
Description of problem: It seems that tests/pwhash_test testcase doesn't get exec permissions during build process, which results to this when doing 'make check': /bin/sh: line 8: ./tests/pwhash_test: Permission denied FAIL: tests/pwhash_test After 'chmod a+x tests/pwhash_test', the test runs fine and PASSes Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libuser-0.54.7-2.el5.5.src.rpm How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -Uhv libuser-0.54.7-2.el5.5.src.rpm 2. rpmbuild -bc /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/libuser.spec 3. cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/libuser-0.54.7 4. make check Actual results: /bin/sh: line 8: ./tests/pwhash_test: Permission denied FAIL: tests/pwhash_test (...) =================== 1 of 5 tests failed =================== Expected results: PASS: tests/pwhash_test ================== All 5 tests passed ================== Additional info: This is very very low priority, but could save us confusion when testing next release, and is probably easy to fix.
Bitten by patch(1), which doesn't preserve permissions. Worked around in RHEL5.2 CVS, in Fedora pwhash_test is in the tarball and has the correct permissions. Thanks for your report.
