Bug#701951: libecj-java-gcj: Not installable with /var on 9p (non-hdd) filesystem

[Daniel Dickinson]

Package: libecj-java-gcj
Version: 3.5.1-3
Severity: normal

libecj-java-gcj is not installable in wheezy.  It fails with 'could not create /var/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gcj-4.7/classmap.db.tmp: java.io.IOException: Invalid argument'

Setting up libecj-java-gcj (3.5.1-3) ...
error: could not create /var/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gcj-4.7/classmap.db.tmp: java.io.IOException: Invalid argument
dpkg: error processing libecj-java-gcj (--configure):
 subproccess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libecj-java-gcj

This appears to be due to a permissions problem of some kind due to use a 9p filesystem rather than native ext4 or the like.  Probably fails on nfs too, but I haven't tried that.  Or maybe use of extended attributes (not sure 9p supports them or not)?

Regards,

Daniel
