There are multiple package management systems out there which implement packages using symlinks. The recent (otherwise useful) check to ensure that a re-executed pulseaudio is actually reexecuting itself unfortunately breaks in the presence of all these packaging systems, because PA_BINARY refers to its installed location (e.g. /usr/local/bin/pulseaudio), which is a symlink to the binary (e.g. /usr/local/stow/pulseaudio-0.9.18/bin/pulseaudio), because /proc/self/exe always contains the canonical path of the executable, with all symlinks resolved. (At least one distribution uses a symlink-based packaging system, so will be forced to apply this locally in any case.) The fix is simple: canonicalize PA_BINARY before equality-testing. (This should be completely safe, because the OS does just that when PA_BINARY is executed.) The patch is against 0.9.18, but applies without fuzz to current master. |
