Package: filter Version: 2.6.3-1 Severity: important Tags: pending If you don't use -q (for "quiet") with filter on amd64, it segfaults before logging. From my tests, only logging is affected -- the action I tested ("save") is still executed. Hence not filing as RC, just as "important".
This is probably caused by incompatible implicit function declarations as described on https://qa.debian.org/bls/bytag/E-pointer-trouble-at-implicit.html According to this, the issue only appears on 64-bit architectures. I've got a patch in git which fixes the compiler warnings as well as the segfault: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/filter.git/tree/debian/patches/fix-implicit-function-declarations.patch (Filing this bug since at least the version currently in stable, oldstable and oldoldstable is also affected. So if anyone wants to make an update for stable or oldstable, the above mentioned patch probably helps.) -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (980, 'unstable-debug'), (600, 'testing'), (111, 'buildd-unstable'), (111, 'buildd-experimental'), (110, 'experimental'), (105, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-rc4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages filter depends on: ii libc6 2.21-9 filter recommends no packages. filter suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
