(1) Do not check for ldconfig in checkpath() (2) Handle EROFS in ensure_pathname_nonexisting(). This is since ensure_pathname_nonexisting() will be called with '/data.dpkg-tmp' '/data/data.dpkg-tmp' '/data/data/com.termux.dpkg-tmp' '/data/data/com.termux/files.dpkg-tmp' '/data/data/com.termux/files/usr.dpkg-tmp' and the first call will get a EROFS, read-only file system error. diff -u -r ../dpkg-1.17.23/src/help.c ./src/help.c --- ../dpkg-1.17.23/src/help.c 2014-12-27 17:21:19.000000000 -0500 +++ ./src/help.c 2015-01-01 19:08:58.868327880 -0500 @@ -89,12 +89,14 @@ TAR, FIND, BACKEND, +#ifndef __ANDROID__ /* Mac OS X uses dyld (Mach-O) instead of ld.so (ELF), and does not have * an ldconfig. */ -#if defined(__APPLE__) && defined(__MACH__) +# if defined(__APPLE__) && defined(__MACH__) "update_dyld_shared_cache", -#else +# else "ldconfig", +# endif #endif #if BUILD_START_STOP_DAEMON "start-stop-daemon", @@ -376,7 +378,7 @@ debug(dbg_eachfile, "ensure_pathname_nonexisting '%s'", pathname); if (!rmdir(pathname)) return; /* Deleted it OK, it was a directory. */ - if (errno == ENOENT || errno == ELOOP) return; + if (errno == ENOENT || errno == ELOOP || errno == EROFS) return; if (errno == ENOTDIR) { /* Either it's a file, or one of the path components is.
