I have tried tar-1.29 and tar-1.27.1 (from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/) with
same 'make check' error popping up all over the test suite. This error ends up
percolating into other programs that use tar also.
I've commented comments w/ '##', and output with '#'.
The error is:
# value 771780898 out of uid_t range 0..2097151
I thought UIDs should be in the range [0..(2^21 - 1)]? Why test with 771780898?
Is this a negative int getting expressed as unsigned?
The build commands are:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/tar
make -j 10
## so far so good
make check
## many failed tests follow, all with same message. I understand that this may
not be a critical error, but it makes the testing output almost useless, as
there are so many failures it is hard to find anything that might actually
matter.
## furthermore, the errors percolate into other tool builds, like automake,
which generates hundreds of errors during 'make check', all of the ones which
I've checked repeating this same basic uid_t error.
I've attached one of the error test log files (002 -- the first place the error
shows up), along with the overall test summary.
some system info:
