#47436 389-ds-base - shebang with /usr/bin/env
Closed: wontfix None Opened 11 years ago by rmeggins.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 987009

Please note that this Bug is private and may not be accessible as it contains confidential Red Hat customer information.

Description of problem:
Following executable scripts contain shebang with /usr/bin/env <lang>.

There might be an issue that the script is executed with unwanted version of
<lang> if that language is provided by enabled collection [1].

Please change the shebang to absolute path if that is not designed behaviour.

Affected scripts:
/usr/sbin/ns-newpwpolicy.pl: #!/usr/bin/env perl
/usr/sbin/ns-inactivate.pl: #!/usr/bin/env perl
/usr/sbin/db2bak.pl: #!/usr/bin/env perl
/usr/sbin/syntax-validate.pl: #!/usr/bin/env perl
/usr/sbin/schema-reload.pl: #!/usr/bin/env perl
/usr/sbin/ns-activate.pl: #!/usr/bin/env perl

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
389-ds-base-1.3.1.2-1.el7.x86_64

Next, "--with-perldir=/usr/bin" needs to be added to spec files for Fedora and RHEL...

Please use the same version of autoconf/automake that was used the last time - all of the autotool generated files makes the diff huge.

This logic is faulty
{{{
+if test "$with_perldir" = yes ; then
+ if test -n "$with_perldir" ; then
+ AC_MSG_RESULT([$with_perldir])
+ else
+ AC_MSG_ERROR([You must specify --with-perldir=/full/path/to/perl])
+ fi
}}}
If test "$with_perldir" = yes is true, then test -n "$with_perldir" will always be true.

Looking at the file, I see the systemd stuff uses the same faulty logic :-(

I did. I'm on f19, and this is what i used the last time I made an update to configure/Makefile. Is this incorrect now?

I'll clean all of this up.

I see - Noriko made this commit:
commit e0c78d5

she must have used F18. Let's talk about it on the devel list - if everyone is comfortable with switching to F19, let's do that. We need to reduce this churn.

Initial diff before running autogen.sh
configure.diff

While waiting for a response on which autogen.sh to use, I've attached a new diff with just the changes in configure.ac

Although it seems like a good idea to check for the existence of $with_perldir/perl and $with_systemdsystemunitdir and $with_systemdsystemconfdir, this can cause problems if you build on a system where they don't exist. If they are explicit build time dependencies (e.g. you can't build if test -d /usr/include/nspr4 fails), then it is appropriate to test for the existence of include/lib directories. We've run into problems like this in the past, which is why we don't generally check, at build time, for files/dirs that may only be available at run time. Perhaps just a warning in that case.

Ahhh, good to know. Ok, new full patch is attached.
