That reference comes from trigdeferred.l, which does not include <config.h> at the top, I've fixed that by moving that and <compat.h> to a %top section. But the LFS side of this is really not an issue, as if dpkg has to parse a > 2GiB deferred triggers file, then something is very wrong... Also there's several sides to LFS support, one is using the LFS API which dpkg has been using for a very long time, the other is using correct types when dealing with file sizes/offsets, or never slurping or mmaping into memory a file that can be large. These last two are the ones dpkg has been failing in some cases in the past, making it not support large files correctly. > Sorry for the nonsense. Well this uncovered a bug, so not that much. :) thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
