2528	Coreutils-8.1 fails pwd-long test	Matthew Burgess	lfs-book@…	"As the summary suggests, there's a test failure with Coreutils-8.1 that I missed due to our current use of '|| true' in the test suite invocation.  The thread starting at http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-coreutils@gnu.org/msg18565.html discusses what causes this issue, and I think it's because of us building as root.  As reported by Gilles Espinasse at http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-coreutils@gnu.org/msg18590.html this is because we're untarring as root which doesn't preserve permissions.  Testing here shows that
{{{
chmod 755 src
}}}
enables that test to pass again.

Confirmation from others would be appreciated before I commit this to the book though."	defect	closed	normal	6.6	Book	SVN	normal	fixed
