Problem with ARG_MAX in kfreebsd-kernel-headers
Hello,
I was about to report this in the BTS but I'm a bit confused about which
package is responsible. The problem is that in kfreebsd-kernel-headers (=0.22)
and the kfreebsd-5 source, <sys/syslimits.h> has conflicting definitions of
ARG_MAX. In kfreebsd-kernel-headers the value is 262144 while in the kernel
package there is the patch 905_grow_arg_max.diff which raises ARG_MAX to
131072. Both are pretty high but I know of at least one case where this is a
problem:
kdepim is FTBFS again because when dh_fixperms runs for kdepim-doc it fails
with "xargs: chown: Argument list too long".
So, this is the problem, but what is the solution? I'm a bit mixed up on which
source packages are responsible in this case.
Thanks,
Kostas
