#13945: 'ghc-pkg update' fails due to bad file descriptor error ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: mpickering | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.2.2 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1-rc3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Ahh, the issue appears to be that NFS is more strict about the privileges necessary to take an exclusive (`LOCK_EX`) `flock`. Namely, you need write access. If you only have read access to a file then you can only take a `LOCK_SH` lock. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13945#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
