recent update causes postfix hang

[Tupshin Harper]

I updated my gcc-3.4 amd64 system today, which (among other things)
included an update to libc6: 2.3.2.ds1-20.0.0.1.gcc4.

After doing so, postfix hangs when receiving an SMTP connection.
Eventually the sender times out. Any ideas? Anybody else having such a
problem?

I just uploaded two different new libc6 versions (-19.0.0.2.gcc4 and 
-19.0.0.3.gcc4) to

 

Both .2 and .3 work for me. I  did the following:
1) reinstalled the broken version, restarted portamp, and confirmed that 
rpc.nfsd is doesn't work
2) installed all of the 19.0.0.2 packages, restarted portmap and 
confirmed that rpc.nfsd *does* work
3) repeated 1 and 2  for 19.0.0.3.

Didn't do extensive nfs testing afterwards, but a simple remote mount 
works fine.

Looks good to me...thanks

I've copied the debs (from my apt cache) onto my webserver:

Yes, I hit the same problem which I have temporarily circumvented by 
regressing libc6 (and friends) back to version 2.3.2.ds1-18.0.0.1.amd64.

Also, is anybody aware of what's causing the problem with libc6 and have 
a plan for fixing it?

nfs server problems with gcc-3.4

[Tupshin Harper]

Is anybody succesfully running nfs-kernel-server on a gcc-3.4 system? I 
had it working with pure64, but after upgrading all packages to gcc-3.4, 
it was failing to start, so I did a test clean install of a gcc-3.4 
system, and ran into the same problem.

The obvious symptom is that it hangs for a long time at:
"Starting NFS kernel daemon: nfsd"
Digging a little deeper, the problem appears to be with portmap. It 
seems that it is dying as soon as rpc.nfsd tries to contact it. I 
manually started portmap with "-d -v" args, and see the following:
   server: about do a switch
   portmap[25586]: connect from 127.0.0.1 to unset(nfs)
   svc_sendreply
   Aborted

Hi folks,
Did anybody succeed in running Xvnc on a Debian amd64 box?
Or do I have to use the 32bit version?

After having zero luck getting it working ( a few weeks ago), and geting 
no reports from anybody that said they did have it working, I 
succesfully used alien to create a deb from fedora's (x86_64) 
vnc-server, and it works fine.
