Package: skkserv Version: 10.62a-7 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
This speaks for itself: la:~# /usr/sbin/skkserv Segmentation fault Cursory examination of the source for skkserv reveals that, not to put too fine a point on it, the code is a crock of shit: it doesn't include any of the necessary headers and it uses wrong types when calling library functions. Including the headers and running with gcc -Wall reveals a huge load of warnings. Apparently the code has been tuned to work only in an environment where ints, longs and pointers are exactly of the same size and are passed the same way, and this of course is not true on AMD64. Adding the missing headers at least makes it run without segfaulting, but the code is written so unportably (and in pre-ANSI style despite the copyrights being from 1994), that it really should be thoroughly reviewed and maybe rewritten before using on "exotic" (i.e. 64-bit) systems. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-amd64-k8-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.ISO-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages skkserv depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii skkdic 20051117-1 SKK Dictionary (SKK-JISYO.L) skkserv recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
