Package: squashfs-tools
Version: 1:4.2-4+b1
Severity: normal
I am using the Pseudo operations to change the mode/uid/gid of existing files.
But it doesn't work with subdirectories :
$ cat /tmp/squa.lst
/bin m 0777 0 0
/bin/tata m 0777 0 0
mcastet@colossus:/tmp/test$ ls -lR
..:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 3 mcastet mcastet 4096 Mar 2 16:10 bin
../bin:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 mcastet mcastet 4096 Mar 2 16:10 tata
-rw-r--r-- 1 mcastet mcastet 0 Mar 2 16:01 toto
../bin/tata:
total 0
$ cat /tmp/squa.lst
/bin m 0777 0 0
/bin/tata m 0777 0 0
$ rm /tmp/image.sq; mksquashfs . /tmp/image.sq -pf /tmp/squa.lst
bin already exists as a non directory. Ignoring /bin/tata!
[...]
The problem seems to be in the pseudo parsing code.
