Do you know which version of libconfuse that you're using? See https://github.com/fhunleth/fwup#building. It really sounds like the libconfuse bug.

@fhunleth current version of confuse is 2.7 on Alpine. I take it it's a more recent revisions that fixes the bug? Should I build from their repository?

[fhunleth]

@systmkor I just checked https://github.com/martinh/libconfuse, and it still doesn't look like there's a new release tag (over a year since the fix was integrated). I've submitted an issue libconfuse/libconfuse#23 in hopes that the maintainer will make an official release. For now, you'll need to build from their repository.

@fhunleth Thanks 👍 I tried compiling from the github libconfuse head commit however it fails (i.e. the searchpath test results in a segmentation fault) when running make check

[fhunleth]

@systmkor Ugh. Are you running ./configure like at http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/tree/main/confuse/APKBUILD? (Sorry - I'm just guessing right now since I haven't used Alpine Linux.)

[systmkor]

@fhunleth tl;dr yes. I didn't check the configuration options since I didn't want to break other programs that depended upon that package. 👏 your google-fu 😄 I assume I need to change the ./confugre options. Also the libconfuse make check fails with and without those ./configure options.

[fhunleth]

Closing old issue. Hopefully fwup works on Alpine now, but if not, I would assume it to be a new issue since libconfuse is at 3.0 upstream now.
