Bug#679600: Info to make a ptach?

2012-06-30 Thread Gordon Haverland
This bug was reported to CPAN about 2 weeks ago, with no response 
as of yet that I can see.  The initial reporting suggests a patch, 
but does not contain a patch.

Bug#679600: Info received (Info to make a ptach?)

2012-06-30 Thread Gordon Haverland
The sample program to demonstrate the bug at CPAN, has MMagic 
analyse a string containing the letter 'a' and this bug report has 
MMagic analysing the contents of the /etc/debian_version file.

At the point in checktype_contents() where it is about to call 
itself again (hence the infinite recursion problem), the 
suggestion is that checktype_container() be called instead.  In 
order for checktype_container to be of any use here, the $self 
object needs to have something useful in the chook component of 
the object.  At this point, chook is empty, which is going to 
result in checktype_container returning an empty string to 
checktype_contents.

Debugging in emacs/perldb, I tried calling checktype_data instead, 
and it would end up returning undef in trying to identify data for 
a string of 'a'.

I made the suggested change in sub checktype_contents().  The 
subroutine checktype_container() doesn't return a type.
Checktype_magic() is called next, it too fails.  Checktype_data() 
also can't find a type.  Which would result at the end, of a type 
of text/plain be assigned for the type, if that line of code 
wasn't commented out.  So it returns undef.

Trying a string of #!/usr/bin/perl\n, MMagic also returns undef.

Trying a string of:
 'htmlheadtitleTitle/title/headbodypBody/p/body/html'
,
MMagic returns text/html.

To me, it sort of looks like this checktype_container() was added 
for some reason, but the changes were never completed.  It kinds 
of looks like the user has to provide their own subroutines to 
check for the contents of containers (similar to checktype_*), but 
there doesn't seem to be documentatino on this.

But I am just guessing.  I never looked at this code before.  
Downloading the tarball from CPAN, the only function really tested 
is checktype_filename(), and the only types returned are 
text/plain and text/html in the tests.

Bug#676463: #676463 sysv-rc: complains incorrectly(?) about obsolete init.d scripts for fuse and others

 nice, the suggestion worked. ;-)

The 3 scripts from initscripts this flags for me, all involved 
bootlogd.  Bootlogd stuff with the same 3 file names was in the 
version of initscripts currently in stable.  There are some 
bootlogd scripts in the version of initscripts in testing, but not 
all of them.  The bootlogd package is available for unstable, with 
these same scripts in them (by name, not necessarily content).  
Manually deleting those files and then installing bootlogd got rid 
of the 3 initscript errors for sysv-rc.

With fuse, the upgrade of fuse-utils was supposed to let people 
purge fuse-utils (its marked as transitional).  The problem that I 
see, is that fuseiso still depends on fuse-utils.  Purging fuse-
utils and fuseiso, I still get the sysv-rc complaining about fuse 
(and smartmontools).

Manually deleting /etc/init.d/fuse and any /etc/rc[0-6].d/*fuse 
symlinks, and then doing a reinstall of fuse got rid of the fuse 
problems for sysv-rc.  Manually deleting smartmontools and smartd 
from /etc/init.d/ and any *smart* symlinks from /etc/rc[0-6].d/ 
and then doing a reinstall of smartmontools got rid of the 
smartmontools problems for sysv-rc.

Which just leaves the LSB tags and overrides of scsi-idle and its 
symlink.  Scsi-idle as a package was removed from Debian in 2007 
(the file of mine is dated 2004).  I still show scsi-idle-2.4.23-5 
as being installed.  Purging that package, allows dependency based 
booting to be set by sysv-rc for me.

 Please find the scripts attached. There seem to be also three
 scripts from the `initscripts` package which cause some
 problems.

 /etc/init.d/rmnologin
 /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh

 /etc/init.d/sendsigs
 /etc/init.d/single

 /etc/init.d/halt

 /etc/init.d/mountoverflowtmp
 /etc/init.d/rc.local
 /etc/init.d/mtab.sh
 /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh
 /etc/init.d/urandom

Okay, I forced dpkg to install the new initscripts package with --
force-depends.  I now get 3 mystery files from initscripts causing 
problems.

I looked at all the files from initscripts that install in init.d/

There are 6 files which do not have a last line which starts with 
a full colon.  One that does has
  : exit 0
There are 6 files where the first executable line is not PATH=
There are 6 files where the first non-empty line after ### END 
INIT INFO line is a comment line.
There are 5 or 6 lines in the INIT INFO area, where there is no 
argument to the field, but there is whitespace after the full 
colon.  I believe two of the files have a tab as the trailing 
whitespace, the remainder having a single space as the trailing 
whitespace.  I think one file has both (one of each).

Without knowing what your program is looking for, that is all I 
can guess at.

Time to get back to writing a presentation on NORM.

 Nobody has said such things to me yet. I am pretty sure that is
 the preferred way.

Over the years, I seldom reply to all.  As a general principle, 
it seemed to cause more problems than it solved.  I will try to do 
this with bugreports, but I suspect even there, I will find more 
people wondering why I wrote them, than people thanking me for

 Interesting. Did you fix these right away (and send patches)?
 :P

No, I didn't send patches.  There seemed to be lots of times where 
trailiing whitespace caused problems for people in Perl, so that 
is one thing I look at.  But, it is easy enough in Perl (and other 
languages) to strip trailing whitespace.

  Without knowing what your program is looking for, that is all
  I can guess at.
 
 Guess we have to check what the package scripts actually check.

I also looked at INFO areas where a Short-Description had content
and a Description didn't, where X-interactive was present and a
couple of other things.  So far nothing I change alters the fact 3 
scripts from initscripts are causing problems.  Looking at the 
logfile that sysv-rc.postinst produces also doesn't show 3 errors

with the dfsg-2 update that came out, I seen LocalSocketGroup 20 
thing with my computer.  I set it to 125 (which is the group 
clamav is on this computer).  Clamav started, but I started 
getting messages from freshclam (cron jobs) about some missing 
argument.  Trying to fix things, I then got a message about 
freshclam not being able to contact clamd via 
/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl.

So, this morning, I purged all of clamav and reinstalled it.  This 
message about clamd.ctl persists.

 Can you set LocalSocketGroup to clamav in the config file, run
 dpkg-reconfigure and see what it is in the file afterwards?

LocalSocketGroup was already set to clamav, and the mode is 666.

dpkg-reconfigure for clamav didn't appear to do anything, no files 
altered in /etc/clamav

dpkg-reconfigure clamav-base asked questions, no files changed.

dpkg-reconfigure clamav-daemon asked questions, no files changed.

dpkg-reconfigure clamav-freshclam asked questions, no files 
changed.  It appears that freshclam updated properly, and was able 
to contact the daemon as part of how dpkg-reconfigure finished for 
freshclam.  It would seem that the reconfigures did something, but 
none of the changed were in /etc/clamav.

Want me to purge, reinstall and check something else?

 Could you attach your (broken) config files? It should then be
  pretty easy for us to reproduce the problem. My problem,
  however, is that I'm not all that sure anymore what your
  actual problem is. Is it just that freshclam cannot use the
  socket? Which user are you running freshclam as? Is it the
  same user that is used for clamd?

After the 4 dpkg-reconfigure runs, things seem to be working.  
That was the end result mentioned above.  That nothing in 
/etc/clamav changed after the fresh re-install (after purging) was 
interesting.

It is hard to see the config files as being broken, if they 
weren't changed by any of the dpkg-reconfigure runs.

As I asked, I could easily purge them all again, and reinstall 
again, to check other things (/var/run ?).  Something must have 
changed, in order for things to be working now, but not after the 
initial install.

 Filipus, did you intend to set a pending tag instead? 
 1.9.33-0.1.0 does net yet exist in the archive.

I'm guessing you guys pick the most appropriate message from some 
small list of available messages.  This message I can't remember 
seeing before, and wasn't sure how to interpret it.  I think it 
would be nice if someone looked at that list of messages and made 
sure that they are meaningful and easily understood.

I just looked again at all packages at debian.org, and there is 
nothing other than 1.9.33-0.1  (or older) listed in any archive 
(including experimental); and looking at incoming.debian.org, 
there are no apt-proxy or python-twisted* packages listed.

Bug#361024: 361024: and lack of feedback

2006-04-12 Thread Gordon Haverland
On Wednesday 12 April 2006 12:37, Some have written:
 There seems to be tons of feedback with that bug report.
[ Or similar. ]

I must get better at phrasing things then.  There is a lot of 
feedback in the bug report.  However, within the bug report there 
are still many questions which are never answered or commented 
upon.  As far as feedback goes, a couple of people responding to 
issues in the bug report, did cc me a copy of the email they 
submitted.  Most people responding to issues in the bug report, 
did not cc me anything.  So, I might recieve an email which 
seemed to be related to what I had asked, didn't answer my 
questions.  Thinking that my part of the questions had been 
solved and this being something more involved, I would look at 
the bug report to find that usually no, what I had asked still 
hadn't been answered, but someone elses related problem with this 
same bug had been answered or commented upon.

For instance, someone had suggested running whatever troublesome 
program with LD_DEBUG=all in the environment.  Fine, I did that 
with an apt-get upgrade.  This produced a 36 MB file.  I 
mentioned how big the file was, and where the error message was 
in that file.  Nobody said anything about this file after that.  
I still have this file.  I gather it is of no use, and that I can 
delete it.

I am not necessarily in a hurry to upgrade to a 2.6 kernel.  If 
there are things I can do here, to help get rid of this bug, I am 
probably willing to try.  No, I have no experience at debugging 
things like libc.  I do have more than 25 years experience at 
programming, mostly number crunching.  But unless someone 
suggests an action plan, I am not going to try and find/solve 
this thing on my own.

Bug#361024: 361024: and lack of feedback

2006-04-11 Thread Gordon Haverland
Occasionally I get an email from someone who is reporting back to 
many people, but in general I have gotten NO FEEDBACK on this bug 
report!  It apparently wasn't reproducible to the person fielding 
the bug report, but it is reproducible here.  I asked, what can I 
do to send you info to fix this?  I get NOTHING!  Someone else 
reports on setting LD_DEBUG=all and running things  I try this, 
and get a HUGE output file.   So, I send in a minimal report on 
this, and hear NOTHING!  A series of patched debs at 
http://people.debian.org/~doko/tmp/ is suggested.  I download and 
install those.  I get an error about cpp dependence, which I 
report.  No comment on this cpp dependence!  And, if nothing 
else, my system is even less usable than before.  Apt-proxy won't 
run (TLS errors), and so I try to bring things back to only using 
apt to get the various packages files and compare things.  I 
still get tons of errors.  

AND STILL THERE IS NO RESPONSE TO ANYTHING I'VE SENT IN!  Are you 
looking for me to give up on Debian?  Can't I get some feedback 
as to what is happening?  I am not expecting miracles.  I would 
like to help, if I can.  But it is just some bloody black hole 
that I report to!

Is the only option to upgrade to a 2.6 kernel?

Gord

Bug#360776: Bug#361024: Bug#361221: libstdc++ test packages

 I have made some more tests. First the package looks ok, but it
 does not work because the /usr/lib/tls directory is used
 inconditionnaly. This is because ld.so actually does not
 actually check for TLS hwcap (which does not really exists),
 but only check the OS ABI. All libc6 libraries in this
 directory are tagged OS ABI: Linux 2.6.0.

 I will try to have a look for a patch to add this note to
 libstdc6++

This doesn't work here.

libstdc++6_4.1.0-2_i386.deb 
gcc-4.1-base_4.1.0-2_i386.deb
gcc-4.1-base_4.1.0-2_i386.deb
libgcc1_4.1.0-2_i386.deb

I dowloaded the above debs, and on install I get errors on 
cpp-4.1_4.1.0-2 being missing.  If I try to restart my apt-proxy 
daemon (twistd), it fails on the TLS problem.  With no apt-proxy 
running, I'm going to be downloading packages manually for 
upgrade.

Bug#361024: libstdc++6: cannot handle TLS data

2006-04-07 Thread Gordon Haverland

 Please find attached a patch to fix the problem. It disables TLS
 on all  architectures but amd64, kfreebsd-i386 and
 kfreebsd-amd64. 

 It may possible to build version of libstdc++6 and put the TLS
 version  in /usr/lib/tls, but I think it could be done in a
 further step. 

I've been dragging my feet on changing to a 2.6 kernel, and 
actually got around to compiling one just a week ago.  Then had 
to leave town for a while.  Now I notice the source tree has some 
updates, so I need to recompile another kernel.

But, if I install this patch for the currently running 2.4 kernel, 
I need to put back the old libstdc++6 package when I get around 
to installing the 2.6 kernel?

Bug#361024: Simple test case [Was: libstdc++.so.6: cannot handle TLS data]

  I've seen many similar errors on my system too (I've got a
  bunch of home-brew Guile[1] modules written in C++). Such an
  error appears whenever a thread created by C code tries to
  dlopen(3) C++ shared library. I've managed to create
  (hopefully) simple test case (based on C++ dlopen
  mini-HOWTO), see the attached tarball (unpack and run
  `make'). I did not reported this before since I thought
  that's /me doing something wrong...

 thanks for the testcase, however I'm unable to reproduce the
 failure with a recent unstable archive, nor do I see the
 apt-listchanges failures.

I know the last 3 apt-get upgrade's all did this, I am not sure 
how far back it happens.  Is there something I can do on this end 
to get you more data?  It seems consistent on this box (for now).

Bug#361024: Simple test case [Was: libstdc++.so.6: cannot handle TLS data]

2006-04-06 Thread Gordon Haverland
I did another apt-get upgrade today, and as expected, this bug was 
present again (at least 4 in a row now).

From suggestions in this thread, I ran it under LD_DEBUG=all, and
captured stdout/stderr.  This captured output is 481713 lines 
long, with the TLS error on line 26074 of that file.  I really 
don't think submitting a 36 MB file is the thing to do, so I 
leave it to you guys as to whether this is of any use.

Bug#308218: And 308219 and 308261

2005-05-09 Thread Gordon Haverland
I also have tripped over this bug.  It doesn't really effect 
anything here, but I noticed my most recent upgrade didn't go to 
completion.

I am curious as to how this proposed fix of yours is going to 
work.  All 3 reports of this bug in the bug system, are from 
people running i386 architecture (i686) on 2.6 kernels.  Your 
latest version of autogen which is supposed to fix this, looks 
like it is powerpc only (*_5.7-2_powerpc.deb) and the description 
at packages.debian.org for libopts25 only lists packages for 
alpha and hppa, not even i386 (or the powerpc packages you 
suggest fix a i386 problem).

You have uploaded a bunch of other packages as well, including 
i386 ones?

 No.  I uploaded the PowerPC package, since the system that I
 use for development is an iBook2.  The build daemons for the
 other architectures (including i386) will build packages for
 their respective architectures.  For more information, see

  http://buildd.debian.org/

I still don't see how your uploading libopts25 for powerpc fixes a 
bug on i386.  packages.debian.org is probably out of date, and I 
guess will soon have powerpc on its list of architectures that 
libopts25 is available for due to your upload.  buildd.debian.org 
as near as I can tell, doesn't have libopts25 for unstable (or 
libopts or libopts9 or libopts*), or for any architecture.  So 
for the 3 people who submitted bug reports on libopts25, and 
myself, there is currently nothing by the way of a fix for the 
installation problem in the works?
