Bug#595495:

[Luca Niccoli]

I really don't care about the severity as long as it is RC, but if you
think this is not a critical bug than you should take action to get
[0] corrected:
critical
 makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break,
or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security hole on systems
where you install the package.

a bug is critical if it breaks unrelated software OR the whole system,
not just the latter.
Cheers,

Luca

Reassigning to the source package (both gcc-4.4 and gcc-4.5 build lib32gcc1) 
and cloning to notify gcc-4.4 of this RC bug.

no, it doesn't make the system unusable.

I don't see yet why -8 doesn't have the preinst, and why -11 does have it.

P.S.
Severity set to critical since it breaks unrelated packages.

severity 595495 critical
thank you

It actually happened to me, goodbye /usr/lib32, with all the libraries in there.
Then trying to reinstall some 32bit library adds even more files to
/emul/ia32-linux, which will trigger the problem again even if the old
package that left over a file there is removed.
That was bad...

Bug#595495: fix affected versions

[Andreas Beckmann]

found 595495 1:4.4.4-12
notfound 595495 1:4.4.4-11
found 595495 1:4.5.1-4
thanks

Since I couldn't report the bug from the pbuilder environment, I messed up the 
affected versions. It is now also reproducible with the latest version in 
experimental.

The problem seems to be
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/gcccvs/branches/sid/gcc-4.4/debian/lib32gccLC.preinst?sc=1
which has been there forever, but was not being used for a long time.

Bug#595495: lib32gcc1: preinst may do rm -rf /usr/lib32

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: lib32gcc1
Version: 1:4.4.4-11
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

Hi, some recent packaging changes have resurrected an ancient preinst script
that handles^Wmesses with some things related to /usr/lib32 and
/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib. As a result /usr/lib32 becomes a symbolic link
to /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib and previous content of /usr/lib32 is lost

Fortunately this only happend to me in a pbuilder environment breaking
some build, not a real system.

The problem seems to happen only if /emul/ia32-linux still exists - in
the pbuilder there was an ancient libssl.so.0.9.7 from 2007 left that I
never noticed before.
But it is quite likely that "grown" systems that regularily used testing
may still have /emul/ia32-linux around because some package updates
during the transition phase did not move their stuff properly, so the
/emul tree was never removed.

1:4.4.4-8 (testing) and 1:4.5.1-3 (experimental) are not affected.

Andreas
