On emulated aarch64 systems like in the qemu-based OpenBuildService
of openSUSE, cp fails to copy /proc/cpuinfo because the inode number
changes between the initial stat() call and copying the file:
$ cp /proc/cpuinfo exp
cp: skipping file '/proc/cpuinfo', as it was \
replaced while being copied
* tests/cp/proc-zero-len.sh: When cp fails, check on the above
error message to skip the test.
cat $f > out || fail=1
# With coreutils-6.9, this would create a zero-length "exp" file.
-cp $f exp || fail=1
+# Skip this test on architectures like aarch64 where the inode
+# number of the file changed during the cp run.
+cp $f exp 2>err \
+ || { fail=1;
+ grep 'replaced while being copied' \
+ && skip_ "File $f is being replaced while being copied"; }
# Don't simply compare contents; they might differ,
# e.g., if CPU freq changes between cat and cp invocations.
