Control: fixed -1 1:1.50.1-4
The bug would only materialize if libguestfs, specifically the tarballs
for the Supermin appliance, had been built on a tmpfs as is the case on
Debian buildds.
The error message
> supermin: error: lstat: Value too large for defined data type:
> /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/tmp/supermin105d28.tmpdir/base.d/init
The "lstat" call stems from ext2_copy_file() (supermin/src/ext2fs-c.c).
The strace output of the run does not show any syscalls that exit with
EOVERFLOW, but it also shows us that on i386, lstat) is a wrapper
around statx(2).
The error has nothing to do with large offsets: Warnings that are output
by tar while extracting the files for the ext2 filesystems hint at a
problematic timestamp:
> tar: init: implausibly old time stamp -9223372036854775808
This matches earlier warnings from tar that occurs while building the tarballs:
> tar: Substituting -9223372036854775807 for unknown date format ‘1690112017’
It turns out that tar's --mtime parameter I introduced for reproducible
builds was missing an "@" before the Unix timestamp. Adding it fixes the
FTBFS.
Cheers,
