I am setting specific capabilities on files which are required for them to run properly but these settings get dropped sometimes. I only see this when doing builds on servers with a large number of cores. Running on small machines seems to hide the bug. I believe the issue is related to fakeroot but have been unable to verify that for sure. I have checked the Debian fakeroot package (there is a newer version) but no commits have been made related to this issue. The current work around I have in place is to enable erroring out when generating the squashfs image and to attempt to generate the squashfs 10 times before failing. Not the best solution but it's better than silently failing. Attached is the patch with the hack. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
