[leafnode-list] weird crash on RHEL-7

[Matěj Cepl]

Hi,

so I have another progress on building leafnode-2 package on 
RHEL-7. However, I still cannot report full success:

1) Build fails on RHEL-6 (which being primarily server platform, 
   can still be interesting for leafnode-2 users) ... we have 
   autoconf only 2.63 and leafnode-2 requires 2.68
   https://gitlab.com/mcepl/leafnode2-pkg/issues/2

   Is 2.68 really required or it just happen to be what you have 
   on computer? Wouldn't it be possible to patch around that 
   requirement?

2) I can perfectly build on RHEL-7 
   (http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/mcepl/leafnode-2/monitor/ 
   ... skipped means here that the build succeeded in the 
   previous run), but when I try to run texpire -f -vv -e I get 

   cannot uid_getbyuname(mockbuild,"..., 47cannot 
   uid_getbyuname(mockbuild,&ui): Success

   texpire initialization failed. a"..., 41texpire 
   initialization failed. aborting.

   (formatting is different, this is what I salvaged from strace 
   output http://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/tmp/strace-texpire.txt)

Any thoughts on how to make leafnode work?

Best,

Matěj
