Package: zinf
Version: 2.2.5-5.1+b1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm sharing a common homedir between my main amd64 system and a i386
chroot.  There are problems with the database(s) in ~/zinf/db/.

When zinf creates the database on the amd64 system, and is later
started on a the i386 system, I get this error:

$ zinf
gdbm fatal: read error

When zinf creates the database on the i386 system, and is later
started on a the amd64 system, I get this error:

$ zinf
failed to open /home/bonnaud/.zinf/db/metadatabase
zinf: src/database.cpp:57: Database::Database(const char*, int): Assertion 
`m_dbase' failed.
Aborted

Do you know if the binary format of gdbm databases is supposed to be
the same on different architecture ?  I could not find this info in
the doc.

 - If so this this is a problem that makes gdbm a bad choice for zinf
(think about home directories shared with NFS across a network of
heterogeneous architecture systems).

 - If not, this is bug.
