X-Reportbug-Version: 3.39 X-Debbugs-Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Package: libgdbm3 Version: 1.8.3-3 Severity: normal
In some software I'm using libgdbm=1.8.3-3. Some routine wants to use a gdbm file as a kind of non-memory-limited hash, so it tries to open some filename with GDBM_NEWDB. I wondered for some time why this routine gets old entries, until looking at an strace revealed that the open() call on the file has O_CREAT set, but not O_TRUNC - so no new database seems to be done! I know it's possible that this flag just causes libgdbm to initialize its structures differently ... but it just doesn't work. My band-aid was to do a unlink() just before, which works just fine (of course). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_AT.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libgdbm3 depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries libgdbm3 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
