Description of problem: Something has happened in the last month that prevents parted-3.0-7.fc17.src.rpm from building successfully any longer. It was initially noticed on ARM, but also FTBFS on x86_64. From mock's build.log: + parted -s f mklabel pc98 Backtrace has 8 calls on stack: 8: /builddir/build/BUILD/parted-3.0/libparted/.libs/libparted.so.1(ped_assert+0x2e) [0x7f949e8ea1de] 7: /builddir/build/BUILD/parted-3.0/libparted/.libs/libparted.so.1(+0x28d1a) [0x7f949e905d1a] 6: /builddir/build/BUILD/parted-3.0/libparted/.libs/libparted.so.1(ped_disk_new+0x58) [0x7f949e8ef748] 5: /builddir/build/BUILD/parted-3.0/parted/.libs/lt-parted() [0x40811f] 4: /builddir/build/BUILD/parted-3.0/parted/.libs/lt-parted(non_interactive_mode+0x8a) [0x40c25a] 3: /builddir/build/BUILD/parted-3.0/parted/.libs/lt-parted(main+0xf25) [0x405cc5] 2: /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f949e0db745] 1: /builddir/build/BUILD/parted-3.0/parted/.libs/lt-parted() [0x405d89] ./t9050-partition-table-types.sh: line 42: 10617 Aborted (core dumped) parted -s f mklabel $j + fail=1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Happens on Fedora 17 buildroots on x86_64, armv5tel, and armv7hl. Since the exact same test worked a month ago it is presumably some other component to blame. Perhaps /usr move? Reason is unclear. Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/bin/mock -r fedora-17-x86_64 parted-3.0-7.fc17.src.rpm 2. Observe the failure in build.log.
This is due to a change in mkswap, it no longer removes the bootloader part of the disk. This helps reveal another assert problem in the partition reading code, this time in mac.c -- we really shouldn't traceback on a bad partition table, especially when doing a mklabel. reproduce it with: PARTED_SECTOR_SIZE=1024 parted -s f mklabel mac mkswap f PARTED_SECTOR_SIZE=1024 parted -s f p
