Bug#1042977: crossfire-server does not work with Python 3.11

[Dr. Oliver Muth]

Package: crossfire-server
Version: 1.75.0-5+b2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

It seems crossfire-server was compiled using the 
PyUnicode_EncodeRawUnicodeEscape workaround for Python 3.3 - 3.9 which is 
deprecated in Python 3.11.

On each start crossfire-server logs the following error message in 
/var/log/crossfire/logfile:
23/08/03 16:56:50 [II] plugins: loading cfanim.so
23/08/03 16:56:50 [II] plugins: loading cfcitybell.so
23/08/03 16:56:50 [II] plugins: loading cfpython.so
23/08/03 16:56:50 [EE] Error trying to load 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crossfire/plugins/cfpython.so: 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crossfire/plugins/cfpython.so: undefined symbol: 
PyUnicode_EncodeRawUnicodeEscape

Subsequently game functions that require a python script do not work. Instead 
errors are logged like:
[EE] The requested plugin doesn't exist: Python at 11/23 in map Old City
[EE] The requested plugin doesn't exist: Python at 5/34 in map world_105_115
[EE] The requested plugin doesn't exist: Python at 11/7 in map Starting House
[EE] The requested plugin doesn't exist: Python at 1/3 in map apartments

However, nm -gD cfpython.so | grep PyUnicode finds the symbol in 
/usr/lib/crossfire/plugins/cfpython.so:
 U PyUnicode_AsUnicode
 U PyUnicode_AsUTF8
 U PyUnicode_AsUTF8String
 U PyUnicode_DecodeUnicodeEscape
 U PyUnicode_EncodeRawUnicodeEscape
 U PyUnicode_FromString

but it is missing from libpython3.11.so (in Debian bookworm). It was still 
available in libpython3.9 in Debian buster.

I found this in the upstream source in plugins/cfpython/cjson.c :
if (PyUnicode_Check(string)) {
// PyUnicode_EncodeRawUnicodeEscape() is deprecated as of Python 3.3, 
scheduled for removal in Python 3.11
#ifndef IS_PY3K3
/* HACK: Workaround for crash bug in Python3's 
PyUnicode_AsRawUnicodeEscapeString... */
str = PyUnicode_EncodeRawUnicodeEscape(PyUnicode_AS_UNICODE(string),
   PyUnicode_GET_SIZE(string));
#else
// The Python docs recommend using PyUnicode_AsRawUnicodeEscapeString() 
or PyUnicode_AsEncodedString() over PyUnicode_EncodeRawUnicodeEscape().
str = PyUnicode_AsRawUnicodeEscapeString(string);
#endif

So it seems IS_PY3K3 was #defined at compile time, even though it should not be 
for Python 3.11?

Kind regards

Oliver

Bug#947159: hardinfo segfaults when running benchmarks

[Dr. Oliver Muth]

Package: hardinfo
Version: 0.5.1+git20180227-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

running a benchmark in hardinfo leads to segmentation fault for all benchmarks 
except "CPU Zlib".
It seems like the benchmarks run at first but when the program returns to 
reporting the results it segfaults.

gdb reports:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Bug#932550: qemu-system-x86: WinXP no longer boots with --enable-kvm, stops at \Windows\System32\Drivers\Mup.sys

[Dr. Oliver Muth]

Hi Michael,

> Maybe this is specific to AMD CPU? I don't have AMD CPU available for
> testing.

Very well possible. Meanwhile I have made some tests with my laptop.
Not with the same VM but one from the same "master".
Same issue there.
Unfortunately it has also an AMD CPU (different model though). I don't
have any Intel CPU.

Kind regards

Oliver

Bug#932550: qemu-system-x86: WinXP no longer boots with --enable-kvm, stops at \Windows\System32\Drivers\Mup.sys

[Dr. Oliver Muth]

Package: qemu-system-x86
Version: 1:3.1+dfsg-8~deb10u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have an old Win XP Pro SP3 VM that used to work with kvm in stretch and 
earlier. Since the upgrade to buster the VM no longer boots with 
"qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm ...".
Trying "safe mode" on the Windows rescue screen shows that the VM boots until 
to the line
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows\System32\Drivers\Mup.sys
and then reboots into the Windows rescue screen.

It still boots successfully when qemu is called without --enable-kvm.
Assuming that the properties of the virtual CPU had changed I tried -cpu 
host|max|kvm64|qemu64|athlon|phenom but it made no difference.
Assuming that the image was damaged I tried different images from backups of 
the last 5 years. They all used to work and no longer do.
I also tried to boot the VM from a Windows XP pro CD in order to repair the 
Windows installation if necessary. But the CD does not boot either (reboots 
after "Setup is starting Windows").
Note that only XP is affected. All other VMs I use work fine with --enable-kvm.

Bug#593954: devscripts: [debuild] build stops with cannot stat - but files are there

[Dr. Oliver Muth]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.66
Severity: normal

I set up a new squeeze-amd64 system and tried to debuild -us -uc ta-lib ( which 
is sadly and incomprehensibly not yet part of Debian
but Debian source packages can be retrieved here: 
http://www.zwets.com/debs/unstable/ ).
The build fails. The last lines of the log are:

cp -a /tmp/ta-lib-0.4.0/debian/examples/ta_regtest/* \
  /tmp/ta-lib-0.4.0/src/tools/ta_regtest/*.{c,h} \

file or directory
make: *** [install-examples] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

BUT: The files exist!
Executing the command manually works fine. Doing all the rest of the steps 
(dh_testdir, dh_testroot) 
manually yields working *_amd64.deb packages.

The very same source package builds without any errors on a lenny-i386 box, 
so it does not seem to be a problem of the source package itself.

Bug#566272: shares-admin fails to start: Error loading UI

[Dr. Oliver Muth]

Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 2.22.0-3
Severity: normal

shares-admin does not start and yields  the following error message:
** (shares-admin:7155): CRITICAL **: Error loading UI: Duplicate object id 
'label' on line 144 (previously on line 97)

The line numbers probably refer to one of the backend scripts - but I could not 
find out which nor why it would fail.

Best regards

Oliver

Bug#457160: linux-image-2.6.22-3-k7: does not discover RAID and EVMS/LVM2 volumes

[Dr. Oliver Muth]

Package: linux-image-2.6.22-3-k7
Version: 2.6.22-6
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi!

I am running a RAID1 with two harddrives connected to two different
controllers.
The system works fine with 2.6.18 or older.
When I was trying out 2.6.22 by booting from my experimental lenny
partition on a third harddrive, 
the kernel discovers the first harddrive on the first controller, then
continues to discover USB and IDE, 
while the second controller performs its domain validation. 
Then it starts the RAID 1 just immediately before the two other
harddrives are discovered. 
When the other harddrives on the second controller are being discovered,
the second harddrive 
does not get added to the mirror - the mirror is already started in
degraded mode. 

8--8---8--
md: raid1 personality registered for level 1

A bit later a large number of device-mapper errors follow, like this:
8--8--8--
device-mapper: ioctl: 4.11.0-ioctl (2006-10-12) initialised:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
device-mapper: table: 253:1: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
8--8--8--

When the system is up, md1 is active with one disk (sda6), sdc6 is now
dm-0, and I have to manually add 
dm-0 to rebuild the mirror.

ALL named EVMS volumes are missing in /dev/evms. When I start the EVMS
GUI they are discovered and all 
marked modified, but the attempt to save the modifications yields in
the error message that EVMS could 
not save because it could not find the devices.

I hope this helps. Please let me know what more information I should
provide.

Best regards

Oliver

Bug#456158: fast-user-switch-applet: applet clutters up syslog

[Dr. Oliver Muth]

Package: fast-user-switch-applet
Version: 2.14.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

the fast-user-switch-applet clutters up my syslog with the following messages 
(every 5 seconds):

Dec 13 11:22:52 athlon-9 gdm[3921]: gdm_socket_handler: Accepting new 
connection fd 8
Dec 13 11:22:52 athlon-9 gdm[3921]: Handling user message: 'VERSION'
Dec 13 11:22:52 athlon-9 gdm[3921]: Handling user message: 'CONSOLE_SERVERS'
Dec 13 11:22:52 athlon-9 gdm[3921]: Handling user message: 'CLOSE'

- or rather it makes gdm issue those messages.
This makes retrieving more important messages from the syslog a bit difficult.

Best regards

Oliver

Bug#299670: also with Logitech Attack 3 Joystick

[Dr. Oliver Muth]

Hi,

Sorry, I am not sure whether this issue is closed yet, but I get the
same error messages with my Logitech Attack 3 joystick:

Dec  8 21:44:59 athlon-9 kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb
status -2 received  
Dec  8 21:44:59 athlon-9 kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c:
usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed

I am running sarge on a PC (AMD Athlon).

I could not fix this yet. Is there any Debian testing package with
kernel 2.6.11 (if this fixes the problem)?

Best regards

Oliver

Bug#316393: setserial does not set closing_wait correctly on kernel 2.6.8

[Dr. Oliver Muth]

Package: setserial
Version: 2.17-41
Severity: normal

Hi!

Maybe this is not a bug in setserial but in the 2.6.8 kernel:
setserial reports high values for close_delay and closing_wait.
When I try to change close_delay to 3000 with setserial, the is 3,
with 300 I get 3000.

This is what I get from setserial with kernel 2.6.8:
/dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 5000, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 37856
Flags: spd_normal skip_test
With kernel 2.4.25 I got close_delay=50 and
closing_wait=3000.

Best regards

Oliver

Bug#316218: eximon4: eximon quits with X_OpenFont error

[Dr. Oliver Muth]

Package: eximon4
Version: 4.50-8
Severity: normal

Hi,

maybe this is not a bug in eximon but in the fontserver, but eximon is
the only program on my system to yield this error:
Exim Monitor version 2.05 (compiled 27-May-2005 08:07:05) initializing
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Value in failed request:  0x262
  Serial number of failed request:  23
  Current serial number in output stream:  24

This happens each time I try to start eximon (after I upgraded to
sarge/stable and apt-get removed packages labeled obsolete.
