[Bug 2118905] Re: cp -a doesn't preserve subdirectories permissions

 

This bug was fixed in the package coreutils-from - 0.0.0~ubuntu20

---------------
coreutils-from (0.0.0~ubuntu20) questing; urgency=medium

  * Temporarily default to coreutils-from-gnu to allow migration
  * Remove Protected: yes from coreutils-from-gnu.
    The buildds got new base images that have coreutils-from-gnu
    installed; but we want to build with coreutils-from-uutils, so
    we need to allow the builder to remove the package.
    Once this upload has migrated, we can then hardcode
    coreutils-from-uutils again to force the builders to
    use uutils.

Bug description:
  The installed tests are not happy in Questing,
  https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/g/gdk-pixbuf

  Debugging it seems like something went weird with the build

  $ ls -ld /usr/libexec/installed-tests/gdk-pixbuf/test-images/*
  drwx------ 2 root root  4096 Jul 28 12:15 /usr/libexec/installed-tests/gdk-pixbuf/test-images/fail
  drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jul 28 12:15 /usr/libexec/installed-tests/gdk-pixbuf/test-images/gif-test-suite
  drwx------ 2 root root  4096 Jul 28 12:15 /usr/libexec/installed-tests/gdk-pixbuf/test-images/randomly-modified

  
  Those directories are 700, but they are 775 in Debian for the same source and in the previous Ubuntu build. Unsure what went wrong, maybe some rust coreutils problem?

  Rebuilding in a ppa shows the same result...
