potential patch to check-cross-arch

[Matteo Guglielmi]

Actually I'm not sure if your patch is correct

because despite the fact that it does not cause

a crash.



In fact,


given the fact that on suse systems:


/bin/ls


is a symlink to:


/usr/bin/ls


what happens is that:


$_ls


whose absolute path is:


/srv/fai/nfsroot/target/bin/ls


will now be a symlink to:


/srv/fai/nfsroot/usr/bin/ls


instead of:


/srv/fai/nfsroot/target/usr/bin/ls



... I hope it's clear.




So,




the correct patch should be mine:



info=$(file $(readlink -m $_ls))


because, relative to the nfsroot we have:




_ls=/target/bin/ls



_ls=$(readlink -m $_ls)



echo $_ls



/target/usr/bin/ls

openSUSE Leap 15.0/15.1

SLES/SLED 15.0/15.1


yes,


both patches do work:


info=$(file -L $_ls)


info=$(file $(readlink -m $_ls))



your patch is better.

Which openSUSE version are you using?
Does file -L help?
