Package: libaudit-dev
Version: 1.7.18-1
Severity: minor
Justification: documentation
Tags: upstream patch
Hi,
Today in the boot log, I found
systemd[1]: Failed to connect to audit log: Protocol not supported
Looking at the systemd source, I see that this means audit_open()
returned -1 with errno == EPROTONOSUPPORT. The underlying cause is
that the kernel in use was built without audit support.
So far so sane. I would like to consider patching systemd to accept
this error silently, just as though it had been built without libaudit
support. Something like:
if ((fd = audit_open(...)) < 0 && errno != EPROTONOSUPPORT)
perror(...);
One problem: is that the right errno check? I.e., could audit_open
yield that error code for some other reason? Alas, the audit_open(3)
manpage does not have an ERRORS section like open(2) does, so I don't
know.
How about this patch? It would have told me that another possibility
to check for is EAFNOSUPPORT and that these errno values indeed just
represent lack of kernel support.

Closes: 642501 699933
Changes:
audit (1:2.2.3-1) experimental; urgency=low
.
* QA upload.
* New upstream release
- Properly document audit_open() can fails and sets errno (Closes: #642501)
- Drop all the patches, they have been applied upstream
* Remove libev-dev Build-Dependency
- debian/control: The upstream audit sources embed and build against their
own version of libev. This is not desirable, but there's no reason to
list libev-dev as a build dependency at this time. (Closes: #699933)
