Subject: emacs FTBFS in Ubuntu (coreutils defaulting to rust is the issue)
Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2025 14:16:43 +0000 (UTC)

Hello, emacs 30.2 now FTBFS in Ubuntu on all architectures, I think this might be due to some coreutils-rust non compatible change.

   FAILED  30/59  tramp-test18-file-attributes (1.907557 sec) at ../../build-src/test/lisp/net/tramp-tests.el:3766

In that case I would appreciate some hints about the used tool, so we can report to rust people and get them fix

Sorry, I don't understand: you say "FTBFS", but the errors you show
are from the test suite, not from the build.  That's not "FTB" in my
book.  What am I missing?

Thanks.

Hello Eli, yes you can say test failures.

The full package build fails if tests fail in Ubuntu, so in general test failures are considered (by me, and probably only by me) build failures.

Sorry for the confusion!

G.

You could instrument tramp-test18-file-attributes (from tramp-tests.el)
like this:

Then run

make -C test tramp-tests.log

Show the resulting tramp-tests.log file. It might be huge.

Click on the architecture, e.g. amd64

Then click on "build log"


I did a build with some
find . -name "*.log" -exec echo "File is: {} \; -exec cat {} \;

This is the resulting log:
https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/costamagnagianfranco-ppa/+sourcepub/17864488/+listing-archive-extra

Is that ok for you?

Thanks.

This build does not include the instrumentation of
tramp-test18-file-attributes as proposed by me. So there is no new
information.

Best regards, Michael.
