For whatever reason, many programs trying to access SystemVersion.plist also open SystemVersionCompat.plist; this includes Python code and coreutils’ `cat(1)` (but not the native macOS `/bin/cat`). Illustratory `dtruss(1m)` output: open("/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist\0", 0x0, 0x0) = 3 0 open("/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersionCompat.plist\0", 0x0, 0x0) = 4 0 I assume this is a Big Sur change relating to the 10.16.x/11.x version compatibility divide and that it’s something along the lines of a hook inside libSystem. Fixes a lot of sandboxed package builds under Big Sur. |
