Custom Query (1145 matches)

If libnss-mdns is converted to a Multi-Arch: same package, /var/lib/dpkg/info/libnss-mdns.postinst will move to /var/lib/dpkg/info/libnss-mdns:$ARCH.postinst. We can run dpkg-query --control-path libnss-mdns postinst to find the real location in either case. That requires dpkg 1.15.4, so we should either wait for hardy and lenny to die, or fall back to the old path.

    (this is on, like, natty)
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 16:45:04  (Anders Kaseorg)
    Haha, /usr/athena.
debathena / python / jdreed  2011-09-21 16:44:21  (This zephyr does not necessarily reflect the views of IS&T, MIT, its)
    so not the point
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 16:49:02  (Anders Kaseorg)
    A workaround is python -S.

    Wait, what about /usr/athena is causing it to lose?  If I symlink
    python into /usr/local/bin or even /opt/bin it's fine
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 16:56:18  (Anders Kaseorg)
    python being symlinked is different from its containing directory
    being symlinked.
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 17:01:31  (Anders Kaseorg)
    From my sysconfig.py (on oneiric, which has the same problem):
    
    def _get_makefile_filename():
        if _PYTHON_BUILD:
            return os.path.join(_PROJECT_BASE, "Makefile")
        return os.path.join(get_path('platstdlib').replace("/usr/local","/usr",1), "config" + (sys.pydebug and "_d" or ""), "Makefile")
    
    and /usr/athena/local doesn’t match that.
debathena / python / jdreed  2011-09-21 17:02:17  (This zephyr does not necessarily reflect the views of IS&T, MIT, its)
    I don't, then, understand why this still works:
    jdreed@infinite-loop:~$ sudo ln -nsf /usr /opt/usr
    [sudo] password for jdreed: 
    jdreed@infinite-loop:~$ /opt/usr/bin/python -c 'import platform;print platform.python_version()'
    2.7.1+
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 17:03:51  (Anders Kaseorg)
    Because /opt/usr/local does match that.
debathena / python / jdreed  2011-09-21 17:03:54  (This zephyr does not necessarily reflect the views of IS&T, MIT, its)
    Hrm.  We should probably still care somehow, since we just broke our
    compatibility layer without telling anyone
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 17:05:11  (Anders Kaseorg)
    $ sudo ln -nsf /usr /opt/usr
    $ /opt/usr/bin/python -c ''
    $ sudo ln -nsf /usr /opt/rsu
    $ /opt/rsu/bin/python -c ''
    …
    IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open /opt/rsu/local/lib/python2.7/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

    Well, uh, you can read debian/patches/distutils-install-layout.diff,
    cry, and file a hilarious Debian bug?
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 17:13:06  (Anders Kaseorg)
    It looks like it would work if /usr/athena/bin was the symlink
    instead of /usr/athena?

When the groups_nonlocal chain returns NSS_STATUS_NOTFOUND, _nss_nonlocal_initgroups_dyn also returns NSS_STATUS_NOTFOUND even though it has successfully added the magic nss-nonlocal-users group. Based on what seems to be happening on scripts (I have not yet reproduced on Debathena), I theorize that this will cause nscd to ignore the nss-nonlocal-users group for users that aren’t in any other secondary groups, and that the fix is to have _nss_nonlocal_initgroups_dyn return NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS in this case instead.
