Package: nscd Version: 2.3.2.ds1-21 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
My affected box is an AMD Sempron machine with a 2.6 kernel built for K8 architecture. Having upgraded nscd to 2.3.2.ds1-20 (via apt-get dist-upgrade) earlier this week I found myself unable to log in locally or to use su. The error message is: login: pthread_mutex_lock.c:78: __pthread_mutex_lock: Assertion `mutex->__data.__owner == 0' failed. Aborted (for su substitute "login:" with "su:") Logging in remotely via SSH works with no errors. I had an identical problem last week with some Athlon 64 machines running Debian-amd64 (pure64, testing), but executing apt-get dist-upgrade on Monday (and thus upgrading libc6 and nscd to 2.3.2.ds1-21) solved the issue. Sadly, in case of the 32-bit box the upgrade didn't help. Also, I manage a number of other 32-bit machines with Intel processors, ranging from i686 to Pentium 4, running exactly the same version of Debian with the same version of the packages in question, but 2.4-branch kernels, which have no such problems. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages nscd depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
