Package: debhelper
Version: 7.4.10
Severity: important
Any package using dh_fixperms (pretty-much all of them) fails to build
because I get this error:
chmod: changing permissions of debian/build-tools/usr/share/doc/build-tools':
Invalid argument
dh_fixperms: find debian/build-tools/usr/share/doc -type d -print0 2>/dev/null
| xargs -0r chmod 755 returned exit code 123
If the offending command is run manually it works fine:
find debian/build-tools/usr/share/doc -type d -print0 2>/dev/null | xargs -0r
chmod 755
I really don't understand what is going wrong -there isn't much to go wrong
with
chmod 755
I suspect it it is running the 'wrong' chmod - but I can't see how any version
could
find '755' an 'Invalid argument'
This definately broke when I upgraded to current squeeze from mostly-lenny (so
a huge
pile of stuff changed, including the default /bin/sh.).
I guess it may not really be a debhelper problem but it is manfesting here and I
haven't noticed anything else broken.
I've tried running dash as the shell and then doing
find debian/build-tools/usr/share/doc -type d -print0 2>/dev/null | xargs -0r
chmod 755
and it still works fine.
If I run dh_fixperms on it's own as myself I get:
$ DH_VERBOSE=1 dh_fixperms
find debian/build-tools -print0 2>/dev/null | xargs -0r chown

which is fair enough (no fakeroot)
With fakeroot we get the dh_fixperms error:
$ DH_VERBOSE=1 fakeroot dh_fixperms

Invalid argument
dh_fixperms: find debian/build-tools/usr/share/doc -type d -print0 2>/dev/null
| xargs -0r chmod 755 returned exit code 123
Running as root it works fine:
# DH_VERBOSE=1 dh_fixperms

--no-dereference 0:0
find debian/build-tools ! -type l -print0 2>/dev/null | xargs -0r

2>/dev/null | xargs -0r chmod a-X
find debian/build-tools/usr/bin -type f -print0 2>/dev/null | xargs
-0r chmod a+x
Running it as root via fakeroot we get the dh_fixperms problem again. That loks
like a clue.
Perhaps it is a fakeroot problem really?
# DH_VERBOSE=1 fakeroot dh_fixperms
find debian/build-tools -print0 2>/dev/null | xargs -0r chown
--no-dereference 0:0
find debian/build-tools ! -type l -print0 2>/dev/null | xargs -0r
chmod go=rX,u+rw,a-s
find debian/build-tools/usr/share/doc -type f ! -regex
'debian/build-tools/usr/share/doc/[^/]*/examples/.*' -print0 2>/dev/null |
xargs -0r chmod 644
find debian/build-tools/usr/share/doc -type d -print0 2>/dev/null |
xargs -0r chmod 755
chmod: changing permissions of debian/build-tools/usr/share/doc/build-tools':
Invalid argument
dh_fixperms: find debian/build-tools/usr/share/doc -type d -print0 2>/dev/null
| xargs -0r chmod 755 returned exit code 123
Any other ideas? It is entirely repeatable, and is quite serious because I
can't build
any packages on this machine!
