coreutils (5.97-5.3ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low
* Merge to Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
- 60_ubuntu-force-clobber-specials.patch: Cause cp to replace special
files when "-a -f" is specified, and the special already exists; instead
of just erroring. (Reported upstream in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00018.html)
- 64_mkdir-chmod-race.patch: Avoid --mode race when using mkdir in a
world-writable directory. Another local user could use the race
condition to gain unintended permissions to files. (Debian #304556,
fixed upstream in 6.1). [CVE-2005-1039]
- 98_fix_chmod_manpage: Fix description of the sticky bit for directories.
(Debian #376745, LP #24896, fix applied upstream)
- 99a_fix_cp_manpage: Fix formatting of 'mv' and 'cp' manpages. (Debian
#351601, fix applied upstream).
coreutils (5.97-5.3) unstable; urgency=high
* This is a non-maintainer upload done with the maintainer's blessing,
to fix a FTBS bug, and to get the SELinux changes in through to Etch.
* Bug fix: "coreutils - FTBFS", thanks to Bastian Blank and Andreas
Barth. The problem is with a build time test suite, which did not
take into account that there could be two directory names with the
same inode, which is what happens if there is a bind mount. So this
is not anything s390 specific, nor is it a problem with the coreutils
package itself, just with the build time test. Applied a version of
the patch being used by upstream to fix the test.
(Closes: #380552, #407628).
