Subject: calife: reproducible builds: /usr/bin/calife contains embedded path to "su"

Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2020 02:16:29 -0800

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

Source: calife
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: usrmerge
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs@lists.alioth.debian.org

The file /usr/bin/calife contains an embedded path to the "su" command:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/calife.html

Which may be /bin/su or /usr/bin/su on a usrmerged system.

The attached patch fixes this by passing the SU_CMD variable to
configure.


Thanks for maintaining calife!


live well,

Subject: [PATCH 2/7] debian/rules: Pass SU_CMD to configure.

The path to "su" may vary as either /bin/su or /usr/bin/su if the
system is configured as a usrmerge system. Use /bin/su for the most
compatible location.
