Document/investigate udev test failure

[Matthew Burgess]

The referenced email (and my earlier one at ​http://archives.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-dev/2005-February/050681.html)

shows a consistent udev test failure:

[1] TEST 104: temporary node creation test device '/block/sda' expecting node 'node' add: error

We need to either document that this failure is known, or investigate and fix what's causing it.

Perhaps the extra data from running the test suite using Udev-065 will be of some help:

TEST 112: temporary node creation test device '/block/sda' expecting node 'node' add: error Can't exec "tree": No such file or directory at ./udev-test.pl line 1670.

remove: ok

The same failure is still present in udev-067.

There are actually two failures, although only one causes a test error.

The first occurs because we don't have a "mail" group, and a perl error is reported.

TEST 10: replace kernel name Argument "mail" isn't numeric in numeric ne (!=) at ./udev-test.pl line 1558. device '/class/tty/ttyUSB0' expecting node 'visor' add: ok remove: ok

This is a cosmetic error only, so can safely be ignored (or have a mail group added to fix it ;)

Still looking at the original error, although the perl error is because it is calling the "tree" binary, which we don't have installed (package homepage for tree is ​ftp://mama.indstate.edu/linux/tree/, current version 1.5.0)

[steve.crosby@…]

okay, the problem is rule 112 (temporary node creation test) is calling /usr/bin/test, and we have /bin/test

fixes could be (both fixes tested and worked okay):

sed -i 's@/usr/bin/test@/bin/test@g' test/udev-test.pl make test

or

ln -s /bin/test /usr/bin/test make test rm /usr/bin/test

Thanks a lot Steve. I've reported this to Kay Sievers. I'll let you know what his response is.
