Package: coreutils Version: 9.4-1 Severity: serious Tags: upstream Control: affects -1 initramfs-tools scanbd
Hi, cp and mv -n changed their behaviour with regard to their exit code when doing nothing, and also now write to stderr. This causes a few problems in existing packages: 1) initramfs-tools autopkgtests fail, and it is unclear if initramfs images with busybox actually work. Compare #1058630 and [1] 2) scanbd now fails to install, see #1058749 And maybe other, so far unreported problems. The upstream bug report appears to be stalled: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=62572 What will be done about this? Should all affected packages (which are these?) workaround the fallout? Chris [1] https://ci.debian.net/packages/i/initramfs-tools/testing/amd64/41037580/
