Package: prelink
Version: 0.0.20061201-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
When invoked with stdout redirected and a partition with less than 50MB
available, the prelink wrapper sits around waiting for read to time out
even though no one can react.
The attached patch fixes this by checking whether stdout is redirected;
perhaps a better version would be
if tty -s && [ -t 1 ]
since this would also check that the program is connected to a terminal.
The main reason for this fix is that with hashes enabled, rkhunter calls
prelink to calculate the hashes of the binaries it watches (see
#448597).
Regards,
Stephen
