The test failures appear to be coming from an attempt to use the uncompress-and-inspect-contents feature, which on my system do indeed fail to work:

$ file dummy_file.bz2 
dummy_file.bz2: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k
$ file -z dummy_file.bz2
dummy_file.bz2: ERROR:[bzip2: Cannot posix_spawn `bzip2',
 Permission denied] (bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k)
$ file --uncompress dummy_file.bz2
dummy_file.bz2: ERROR:[bzip2: Cannot posix_spawn `bzip2',
 Permission denied] (bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k)

It's the same in 5.46-10.

Works fine. I can confirm that same failures as ferdnyc, but I don't know if this is a blocker?

User Icon ferdnyc commented & provided feedback a month ago

@bdprom Seems like it, otherwise this should've autopushed after reaching +3 karma, right?

If the failed tests are holding this back, that should probably be changed, because the current release in F44 has the exact same issue. So, nothing's changed.

The current release in f44 does not have the same issue.

[adamw@toolbx fedora-toolbox-44 tmp]$ rpm -q file
file-5.46-10.fc44.x86_64
[adamw@toolbx fedora-toolbox-44 tmp]$ file -z test.bz2
test.bz2: ASCII text (bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k)
[adamw@toolbx fedora-toolbox-44 tmp]$ file --uncompress test.bz2
test.bz2: ASCII text (bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k)

It works fine with 5.46-10.fc44. I confirm that it's broken with 5.48. This is a genuine regression which should be fixed.

Bodhi is disabling automatic push to stable due to negative karma. The maintainer may push manually if they determine that the issue is not severe.

@adamwill Oh, my mistake. I swear I tried that, and it failed the same way.

The package owner doesn't respond, let's unpush this. Please give -1 karma. @vmihalko

I can confirm the above test case had regression.
