Bug#626946: zsh-static fails to start at all

2011-05-16 Thread Richard Hartmann 
Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.11-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Rationale: zsh-static is a shell used for root and in fall-back
scenarios. As it does not work at all, this can make system maintenance
or repairing this hard to impossible.

% zsh-static -f
zsh-static: ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getpagesize.c:32: __getpagesize:
Assertion `_rtld_global_ro._dl_pagesize != 0' failed.
[1]8747 abort  zsh-static -f
% echo $?

I have seen similar problems with other statically linked programs
aswell. If the program uses nss or any other thing that glibc dlopens()
at run-time, then this problem has a very high chance of happening.

I've seen it with the following program aswell (compiled with gcc -O2
-static):

#include iconv.h
#include stdio.h
#include errno.h
int main () {
  iconv_t x;
  x = iconv_open (UTF-8, UTF-32LE);
  printf (%d\n, errno == EINVAL);
  return 0;
}

Though, it doesn't happen on current unstable, it did happen about 2
weeks ago. I didn't bother debugging it further unfortunately.

I don't think this issue is limited to zsh-static alone.
