Description Zenon Panoussis 2011-03-15 21:25:59 UTC 
Rebuilding from SRPM as root fails in %check

 91: remove-files with compression                   FAILED (remfiles01.at:32)

Rebuilding as non-root fails too, but differently:

 44: incremental dumps of nested directories         FAILED (incr06.at:22)
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-03-15 21:48:12 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
Comment 3 Ondrej Vasik 2011-03-16 05:49:27 UTC 
Rebuilding packages and running testsuites as root is generally not recommended - and AFAIK even not supported - failures like test 91 may occur in such cases...

This failure of test 44 is more strange, could you please attach the log of the failure - tests/testsuite.log - and provide more information if there is something special on your system(e.g. non default filesystem, selinux off)?
TIA.
Comment 4 Ondrej Vasik 2011-04-18 14:06:07 UTC 
Closing insufficient data, feel free to reopen the bugzilla once you provide requested information from comment #3.
Comment 5 Martin Cermak 2012-03-27 08:31:21 UTC 
This happens during the TPS srpm rebuild test and should be fixed. The test dies on make check and does not continue so that no binaries are built as a result.
Comment 6 Ondrej Vasik 2012-03-27 08:37:38 UTC 
TPS should not run tests and build packages as root, that's it...
Comment 9 Martin Cermak 2012-03-27 09:03:21 UTC 
Please, disable or remove test 91. That should be sufficient for our purposes.

    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
