Maybe you should consider to look at kernel-package. It allows you
to build *.deb files for both a new kernel and a list of modules
within one run.


Hope this helps. Regards

This is not the point. Surely I could download the package
sources and build it on my own, if necessary. But I would
prefer that the promised functionality works as expected.
Updating the changelog file in sync with the upload of the
source package doesn't sound that difficult to me.

Esp. when upgrading an essential (and probably huge) package
like glibc, thunderbird, or a new Xserver I would like to know
what has changed without manually downloading the package.

Hi folks,

AFAICS ia32-libs shrunk for about 725KByte between 1.8 and
1.9. But using aptitude I can review the changelog. It is
not available.

What has been dropped?

Would it be possible to provide the changelog by default,

AFAICS searching /lib/ldconfig for symbolic links is not
documented, at least not on the manpage for ldconfig. Maybe
thats on purpose, and we rely upon a feature that is not

There could be a conflict even for system libraries, e.g. between
a stripped-down small library in /lib used at boot time, and the
full multi-lingual version in /usr/lib, for example.

This seems to be not working as expected. For testing I have kicked out
/emul/* from ld.so.conf again. /lib/ldconfig is:

# ll /lib/ldconfig
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 13 22:11 emul_ia32-linux_lib -> 
/emul/ia32-linux/lib

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Mar  5 08:14 x86_64-linux-gnu-usr-lib -> 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

But if I run 'ldconfig -v' as suggested the /emul library directories
are ignored. See below. The man page for ldconfig doesn't mention
/lib/ldconfig either. Is your version in experimental?

There is yet another concern: ld.so.conf also contained a search
sequence for library directories (AFAIK). How is this supposed to
work with the new directory containg symbolic links?

Re: Please help - kernel crashes often

2006-01-29 Thread Harald Dunkel
Hi Mike,

A machine check exception indicates a hardware problem, i.e.
a broken CPU. (I am not sure whether it could indicate
bad ECC memory, too. Did you run memtest68?)

Since you get the problem on heavy load I would suggest to
look for the CPU fan. If the CPU is overheated then this
is the kind of problem I would expect.


Good luck

Sorry to say, but I doubt this. Sarge was released 6 months
ago, and amd64 is still an officially unsupported platform.
The "visible change" is missing.

If people talk about Linux on amd64 today, then they think
Ubuntu, RedHat, Suse, Gentoo, but not Debian.

Debian's big strength (one of it) is the support for many
different platforms with a common set of functionality. But
the 2nd or 3rd largest platform is missing today. And surely
amd64 will become _much_ more important in the next 6 months.

By chance I tried this today, too. Result:

Sun's j2sdk 1.5-4 for Linux (on amd64) does not contain
any plugins for Mozilla or Firefox. At least I did not
find it.

The Blackdown 1.42 for Linux on amd64 does contain a Java
plugin, but after the installation when I tried it on
http://java.sun.com/ Firefox crashed.

But this was Sarge. Maybe somebody was more lucky using
Unstable?

Maybe you just don't have the access permissions. Try

dd if=/dev/hdc bs=64k count=1 of=/dev/null

If you get a "permission denied", then you should
consider to add your account name in /etc/group to
the floppy group. See also the output of 'ls -l /dev/hdc':

Boot in expert mode, run through the first menu steps, stop
before entering the partitioning menu, switch to another
console, and try to manually load sata_sil ("modprobe sata_sil").
Then go back to the installer, and check whether your disk is
displayed by the partitioner.

Later, when your kernel is going to be installed, mkinitrd
should recognize that sata_sil has been loaded to manage
your boot partition. It will add sata_sil to the initrd.img
automatically.

You should post the pci id and the vendor string of your
sata device on the debian-boot mailing list.

I know, but as written before, IMHO the abi version number should
not be encoded in the package name. Usually you just get a new
abi, but no new functionality, so why introduce a new name? Just
to work around the limitations of dpkg? It is my suggestion to
extend dpkg instead.

Some packages don't follow this naming convention, anyway (e.g.
libglu1-xorg, libstdc++-4.0, others?).

No. Of course it is more difficult for dpkg to verify both package
dependencies and package attributes. But there are some differences
between the package dependency list and the package attributes:
The attributes must match exactly, and there is no recursion. It
is still a string compare, as with the package name.

If the abi version gets a package attribute, then chances are high
that I just have to rebuild my package to support a new abi. If the
abi version gets encoded in the package name, then everybody with a
C++ package has to

- introduce a renamed package for the new abi
- change the dependencies of his package to catch the other
  new package names
- build the new package
- make the old package obsolete sometimes

Seems to be a lot of effort for something that should be hidden deep
inside.

What will happen if the abi changes just for one platform, lets
say for the Arm cpu? Does everybody have to rename his packages
again?

The dependencies are verified just for the installed packages,
plus the newly selected, minus the packages to be deinstalled,
AFAIK. To avoid waiting I could remove packages sticking to the
old abi.

But the ABIs conflict, anyway, regardless whether there is
yet another package or not. A clean way to create packages
for the new abi is to debootstrap a new chroot without
references to the old abi, and use this environment for
building and testing.

But I can follow your argument. Dpkg should allow installing
different C++ abis on the same machine. Only within each
dependency chain the abi version number must be unique, so
it should become some kind of package attribute. This would
allow dpkg to verify the abi version.

I just want to avoid that somebody else breaks the dependencies
of my package by dropping the old name and introducing a new one
for the same library, just because we changed a low level
interface that usually should be transparent to everybody.

Maybe this has been suggested before, but...

Probably more C++ abi changes will follow. To support a
smooth migration I would like to suggest to create empty
packages describing the C++ abis.

A package maintainer could add the C++ abi package to the
dependency list. When a new C++ abi gets introduced, and
the first packages with a dependency to the new abi package
appear, then these packages are automagically put on hold
till all packages in the whole dependency chain have been
migrated.

Surely the package name or the version number are the wrong
place to describe the C++ abi.


Just an idea. Regards

Sorry, I was wrong with this. I mixed this up with
another library.

Correct me if I am wrong again: The new libglu1-xorg
in Debian has been compiled with g++-4.0, i.e. it is
based upon the new C++ ABI "1002" (aka "version 2").
It is incompatible to the old libglu1 built with
g++ 3.2.x. See

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/07/msg1.html

The only way to make the packages based upon libglu1
work again is to change the dependency information
to 'libglu1-xorg' and to rebuild the package using the
new C++ compiler. But this requires that _all_ C++
libraries in the dependency chain follow the new C++ ABI.

If the debian-installer doesn't support your SATA device,
then the standard procedure would be to send the output
of lspci and lspci -n to the debian-boot mailing list,
asking for support.

As a workaround to make your machine install I would
suggest to manually load the sata_sil module at installation
time. Boot in expert mode, and try to

modprobe sata_sil

on another console (Alt-F2) before entering the partitioning
menu.

lib/X11/InitExt.c) is called. At least on this function call the
passed function argument gets corrupted:

(gdb)
366 pData = XEHeadOfExtensionList(dpy_union);
(gdb) print dpy_union
$2 = {display = 0x509550, gc = 0x509550, visual = 0x509550, screen = 0x509550,
  pixmap_format = 0x509550, font = 0x509550}
(gdb) step
XEHeadOfExtensionList (object=
  {display = 0x84, gc = 0x84, visual = 0x84, screen = 0x84, pixmap_format = 
0x84, font = 0x84}) at InitExt.c:124
124 return *(XExtData ***)&object;



If I build InitExt.o without -O2, then the problem is gone:


(gdb)
366 pData = XEHeadOfExtensionList(dpy_union);
(gdb) print dpy_union
$3 = {display = 0x509550, gc = 0x509550, visual = 0x509550, screen = 0x509550,
  pixmap_format = 0x509550, font = 0x509550}
(gdb) step
XEHeadOfExtensionList (object=
  {display = 0x509550, gc = 0x509550, visual = 0x509550, screen = 0x509550, 
pixmap_format = 0x509550, font = 0x509550}) at InitExt.c:124
124 return *(XExtData ***)&object;
(gdb)


But this workaround is not sufficient to solve the problem. Some
small applications seemed to work, but xterm doesn't.

Can you reproduce this problem? AFAIK this is not
supposed to happen. And other applications without
X inside seem to work.


The problem seems to be bound to libX11.so.6, which has
not been built since April 11th. Unfortunately the
source tree on http://debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/gcc4
does not include the sources for XFree86, so I cannot
rebuild the "official" version.

No, the problem is that your build is using static

I would suggest to verify that both shared and static

Neal,
I had similar problems. I downloaded the 4.0 source code from the vnc
site. It took some time to have the vnc (+xserver) compilation work but
after that, I haven't had any problems running VNC.
Metoo.
I guess the trick is to use the XFree86 sources from the current
Debian package instead of X420src-1.tgz and apply all the
included patches.

I made a mistake and built the latest gcc-3.4 source package so that

because these binary pacakges are also create by the gcc-4.0 source

I will fix this by uploading new versions of the gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0

I cannot correct this just now because alioth is down at the moment.

Is there any way for me to upload packages to Alioth? I am

debootstrap failure for "gcc-3.4"

2005-01-30 Thread Harald Dunkel
Hi folks,
If I try to run debootstrap on amd64(gcc-3.4), then it stumbles
over the gcc4 libraries (see below).
Any way to get around this?
(BTW, using pure64 for debootstrap did not work either:
E: Couldn't download gcc-4.0-base
)

Harri

You can grab the i386 library. But AFAIK this is necessary

MHO: Yes.
I would say that the package owner is best to decide whether
the problem is caused by the new compiler and can be put
on hold, or whether there is a more general problem affecting
the "official" platforms, too.
This way the bts can be used to collect and document
possible fixes or workarounds.
