Thanks for your feedback, Ondřej.

It'd be helpful to have some input from hurd and kfreebsd people, so
that we know what to do with isc-dhcp-client-udeb in the end…

Bug#892149: faketime(1) fails on hurd: sem_open: Operation not supported

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Package: faketime
Version: 0.9.7-2
Severity: normal
User: debian-hurd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: hurd-i386
Control: affects -1 src:mbedtls

The faketime executable fails on hurd-i386 (admittedly not a release
architecture) with the error

  sem_open: Operation not supported

as seen in [1].

Faketime's own test suite passes despite this failure because it uses
LD_PRELOAD directly, which works fine; only going through the
executable fails.

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
