Bug#677035: libavcodec52: SEGV when encoding video

 In order to check if that bug has already been fixed upstream, could
 you please install the libavcodec-extra-53 package from backports.org
 and check if the segmentation fault still occurs?
 

I've just tried libav-tools 4:0.8-2~bpo60+1 and libavcodec53 segfaults too, so
perhaps the problem is present upstream.

After my submission, I've noticed that it crashes with horizontal sizes
626, 632, and 852, but not with sizes 624 and 640.

Coupled with the name of the top-of-stack function (sad16_sse2), that suggests
a workaround: use horizontal sizes that are multiples of 16.

Although I've had no time to examine the code (and I'm no expert in assembly)
I guess that the problem might be caused by a wrongly aligned or sized buffer.

I haven't received any news from debian, so I'm forwarding the report
upstream myself.  (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47477)

 Although it could be possible that a similar situation happens when
 using the standard streams functions it is not caused by this bug in
 curl, because curl is not used by fopen/fsockopen and friends.
 

I'm not very familiar with php, but I believe that libcurl is indeed
used when a url is passed as filename to fopen().

 
 The patch looks good, thanks! Have you considered reporting this bug
 to upstream so that we don't just fix it locally? Please do it, thanks
 in advance.
 

hm... I've not tested it very extensively, hence it's advisable to
have upstream check the patch, before applying it locally.  however,
I'd rather avoid duplicating this bug report: would you debian php
developers mind forwarding the patch upstream?  let me know.

Yes, exactly as the subject of the bug report suggests.

 [...] If they two are enough we could (in 2007 2005 is
 finished) put them into texlive-metapost which will put them into
   /usr/share/texmf-texlive/...
 and at the same time context will ship them in 
   /usr/share/texmf/...
 so that if context ships newer versions they will be found, and if
 context is not installed the one from texlive-metapost will be found?

Have you considered a solution based on dpkg-divert or update-alternatives?

Hi Norbert
Do you mean mptopdf (also in package context)?  After all, it seems
that even in the modular world of texlive, ConTeXt has to be installed
anyway...

Unless you decide to split cont-mpd (200 Kb) from the rest of context
(32 MB in lenny), then make texlive-metapost Suggest cont-mpd and context
Depend on cont-mpd.

Bug#420762: openoffice.org-calc should depend on openoffice.org-base

 What do you define as relatively simple?
 

I mean: no database, no external data source, document macros disabled
at open time, only about 30x30 cells, with some it_IT-localized formatting for
dates and only a few computed cells.

unfortunately I'm not allowed to send you the file.

  after a couple of failed attempts at finding the reason for the SEGV and
  interpreting the elegant message unexpected error, next time I will try

  I found that installing openoffice.org-base and its dependencies solved
  the problem.
 
 Did you use any stuff having to do with databases? Or data sources?
 Can you provide a backtrace from the crash? Or strace?
 

attached a backtrace.

 A strict dependency of -calc to -base would be quite nonsensical,
 otherwise you could forget the whole split directly.
 (Same with the writer functions needing -base)
 

I agree.  but I'm sure the average user faced with the impossibility of
opening his much needed document will probably curse debian, rather than
appreciate the modularity.

now I think the attached patch (to be applied to the pristine chrony 
sources) should solve the issue.  

it did. now chrony doestn't segfault anymore and seems to work :)

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: Felix Zielcke [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: chrony: just segfaults on amd64

thank you, Felix.  

After exploring the code a bit more closely, I found out

1. that I made a stupid mistake (I added an indirection level,
   but the code was designed another way);

2. why the resulting buggy executable did not segfault on my server
   (because of my config file, some of the functions in addrfilt.c were
   not called --- in particular, open_node() was never called).

now I think the attached patch (to be applied to the pristine chrony
sources) should solve the issue.  

may I ask you to recompile and test this new patch? I attach both the
patch and the modified addrfilt.c, in case you cannot easily apply the
patch.

best regards.

this is no surprise, since the executable you are running is stripped.

if you want to help, you may recompile the package yourself, by
following these steps:

as root:
- install build-dependencies:
  fakeroot
  dpkg-dev
  build-essential
  libreadline4-dev
  bison
- put the relevant deb-src lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main
deb-src http://security.debian.org   etch/updates main
  and apt-get update

as a regular user (not root):
- cd /tmp/ ; apt-get source chrony ; cd chrony-1.20
- build with 
  DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

- install the package you just made (it's in /tmp), and rerun gdb.
  you can run gdb on the new executable without even installing
  (it's in /tmp/chrony-1.20/debian/tmp/usr/...)

I hope I did not forget anything...

Hi all.

I think that is no hardware problem at all.  Instead, Thorsten found a
long standing bug in glibc, previously gone unnoticed.

I was able to reproduce it on a bunch of x86/32 systems, both intel
and amd, and several releases of Debian and RedHat versions: the tag
unreproducible is not appropriate.

I investigated a bit further, and I think the problem is a violation of
the C89 and C99 standards in
glibc-2.3.2.ds1/build-tree/glibc-2.3.2/sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/s_lround.c, 
more precisely in line 61. 
result = ((long int) i0  (j0 - 20)) | (j  (52 - j0))

With the argument reported by Thorsten, this statement is
executed with j==0x8000 and (52-j0)==32.  

Kernighan  Ritchie, as well as ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (in 6.5.7 Bitwise
shift operators) state that ... If the value of the right operand is
negative or is greater than or *equal to* the width of the promoted left
operand, the behavior is undefined. 

It turns out that on x86/32 (as far as I could experiment)
(0x8000  32) == 0x8000, quite definitely, indeed. :-) 
And this behaviour probably is unintended: the coder of the above line
probably expected to get (0x8000  32) == 0.

Now to the reproducibility: 

- Undefined behaviour is very likely to depend on compiler optimization
  options, and that explains the mysterious behaviour previously
  reported.  Probably with '-O1' and above the compiler skips the
  computation at all, and places 0.

- I don't know how uint32_t are aligned and operated on in powerpc/64
  archs, but maybe different alignment (and different undefined
  behaviour) is the reason why Paul could not reproduce the bug.
  BTW, what arch did you run your tests on, GOTO?

I don't know ieee754, so I don't dare submit a patch to libc (e.g., if
(52 - j0)  31, use 0), but I believe dropping this bug as unreproducible
would be a mistake.  Better downgrade it and forward upstream.  It reminds
me of the fdiv bug in early pentiums.

Best regards.

 for the manual as a whole does 'dvips ; ps2pdf ...' create the thumbnails

Hi Dirk

You are right, ps2pdf makes no thumbnails.   Would you like to try the
attached patch, so we can try to massage randist.tex and its friends and
keep going the pdftex way, without sacrificing pictures for thumbnails?

Bug#295400: /usr/sbin/fancontrol: please add option to avoid calling restorefans() on exit

 If you need to control your fan speed under Windows, use a software 
 under Windows to do that.

I'd better say (e.g. to go to single user mode, boot solaris/x86,
boot freebsd...)
that is: I need to control my fan speed, fullstop.

 There is a way, but it won't be supported by Debian and by the upstream 
 for the reason explained above, even as an option. Please also note that 
 your request is very specific, so I suggest you either to use a Windows 
 software to control the fan speed, or to modify fancontrol by yourself.
 

the only ways I found are:

1. send fancontrol SIGKILL manually.

2. hand-edit fancontrol. (which I did: but my changes will be overwritten
   at next package upgrade.)

what about a non documented, deeply buried option to restore fans to a
configurable percentage of full speed?

regards.

Maybe.  Let me restate the problem:

I don't expect fancontrol to control my fan when it is not running
(mankind is not ready for this kind of software...)

I don't want to stop my fan when not running fancontrol.  in other words
I don't want to burn my cpu.  should I decide to burn it, I'm able to
do that without using fancontrol at all.

I would like to keep the fan at exactly the same speed fancontrol has
last adjusted it, which I assume is high enough to keep the cpu cool,
but not so noisy as full-speed.

if the latter is considered dangerous, I'll happily switch to kill -9...

 Is there a specific reason why you chose the reformatting, instead of

You caught me! That's exactly because my xterms are 80 columns wide. ;-)

But as a matter of coding style, let me point out that it's difficult
to forget the closing newline in the ``reformatted'' form.
