Subject: systraq: reproducible build (usrmerge): embeds path of run-parts found via PATH

Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2018 15:59:58 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: systraq
Version: 20160803-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: md@linux.it
Usertags: usrmerge

Dear Maintainer,

The package currently fails to reproducibly build on merged-usr vs
non-merged systems.

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/systraq.html

The problem is caused by embedding the full path of run-parts looked
up via PATH. On merged-usr systems /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin
and normally PATH has /usr/bin before /bin, thus you end up
with /usr/bin/run-parts on merged-usr systems while it's
/bin/run-parts on non-merged systems.

In my opinion the best solution would be to avoid embedding a path at
all and just rely on PATH at *runtime* (instead of build-time).
Unfortunately the generated configure script for some reason only
accepts RUN_PATHS variables that contains slashes for unknown reasons.
(This doesn't happen in all packages I've looked at, only some.)

Thus the solution for now is to pass RUN_PARTS=/bin/run-parts to
configure. Please see attached debdiff.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson

Hi Andreas,

And thanks for your very nice bugreport + patch!

Bye,

Joost

PS: and indeed, I agree with your analysis, doing the lookup at runtime would
be even better.
