From f52c1ce9b31befb71016a20759b96b4946034fcb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Kalnischkies Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2022 15:14:52 +0200 Subject: Allow apt to run if no dpkg/status file exists Not having a dpkg/status file used to be a hard error which from a boostrap perspective is suspect as in the beginning, there is no status so you would need to touch it into existence. We make a difference between factual non-existence and inaccessibility to catch mistakes in which the file is not readable for some reason, the testcase test-bug-254770-segfault-if-cache-not-buildable is an example of this. Note that apt has already figured out at this point that this is a Debian-like system which should have a dpkg/status file. This change does not effect the auto-detection and is not supposed to. --- test/integration/framework | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'test/integration/framework') diff --git a/test/integration/framework b/test/integration/framework index 5e1e68a98..d50b63518 100644 --- a/test/integration/framework +++ b/test/integration/framework @@ -626,8 +626,6 @@ configdpkg() { if tail -1 rootdir/var/lib/dpkg/status | grep -q .; then echo >> rootdir/var/lib/dpkg/status fi - else - echo -n > rootdir/var/lib/dpkg/status fi fi rm -f rootdir/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00foreigndpkg -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
