Public bug reported: When upgrading base-files and have fsvs installed I get this error message in loop:
find: Symbolic link `/etc/fsvs/6666cd76f96956469e7be39d750cc7d9/_base/sys/devices/virtual/tty/ptyp5/subsystem/ttyS2/device/subsystem/devices/i8042/serio1/subsystem/drivers/atkbd/serio0/input/input0/subsystem/event1/device/device/subsystem' is part of a loop in the directory hierarchy; we have already visited the directory to which it points. find: Symbolic link `/etc/fsvs/6666cd76f96956469e7be39d750cc7d9/_base/sys/devices/virtual/tty/ptyp5/subsystem/ttyS2/device/subsystem/devices/i8042/serio1/subsystem/drivers/atkbd/serio0/input/input0/subsystem/event1/device/device/driver/pcspkr' is part of a loop in the directory hierarchy; we have already visited the directory to which it points. find: Symbolic link `/etc/fsvs/6666cd76f96956469e7be39d750cc7d9/_base/sys/devices/virtual/tty/ptyp5/subsystem/ttyS2/device/subsystem/devices/i8042/serio1/subsystem/drivers/atkbd/serio0/input/input0/subsystem/event1/device/device/driver/module/drivers/platform:pcspkr' is part of a loop in the directory hierarchy; we have already visited the directory to which it points. find: Filesystem loop detected; `/etc/fsvs/6666cd76f96956469e7be39d750cc7d9/_base/sys/devices/virtual/tty/ptyp5/subsystem/ttyS2/device/subsystem/devices/i8042/serio1/subsystem/drivers/atkbd/serio0/input/input0/subsystem/event1/device/device/input/input1' has the same device number and inode as a direcdpkg: error processing base-files (--configure): subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt) Errors were encountered while processing: base-files Its hard to cancel that message you have to hit Ctrl+C several times. For workaround you can move that /etc/fsvs temporarly out but I dont see any sense in the symlink checking via find. I would suggest using `find -P ...` in package scripts. ** Affects: base-files (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- base-files upgrade fails when fsvs is installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304449 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
