 Hi,
 
  Hi.. out of curiosity, does anyone know what's keeping the new libusb out

  testing?  I can't find anything useful in update_excuses.html and I can't 
  make sense of the lines in update_output.txt.
 
 The (obvious) problems were :
 - sane-backends/sane-frontends RC bugs
 - gphoto2 not building on arm
 - kdegraphics not building on arm
 
 The hidden problems were :
 - pencam depending on libusb0 on m68k and sparc (bad build-deps)
 - libgpio depending on libusb0 on sparc (bad build-deps)

I don't know if the new packages of pencam and libgpio have been uploaded
but I would guess that it is not the case.
And I would guess that the libusb story is not yet over.

It is currently not possible to compile a working gphoto2 in unstable
without previously recompiling libusb.
Otherwise it segfault early because usb_busses (from libusb.so) is not
understood by gphoto2.
I believe it is a mismatch between libusb and gphoto2 libc or the gcc
used.
As I understand it ALL libusb-depend packages are concerned.

If I am correct we need a recompiled libusb and to recompile all related
packages.

Sorry for the bad news,
Christophe

 
 [...]
 
  Just wondering what remains to be done to let libusb 1:0.1.5-3 in.
 
 Nothing. Just wait. Binary NMUs for pencam and libgpio are in
 incoming, dinstall will pick them up in a couple of hours.
 
 After this, we should be done with this problem.

Re: libusb and testing?

2002-04-15 Thread christophe barb
Chris,

I (christophe) am the packager of gphoto2.
The bug you mention is not related with the NEW problem.
It is impossible to compile something working (gphoto2 or something
else) with the current libusb packages. This is not your fault at
all. I can't explain it but something goes wrong between what libusb.so
provides and what a freshly compiled program expects.
Everything in my machine is uptodated so I am pretty sure it is
reproductible and not specific to gphoto2 (but perhaps x86 specific).

With the same source and the same debian directory, the resulting
package is broken (give you a nice segfault) if you use the standard
libusb package and is perfectly working is you previously rebuild the
libusb package (whitout any modification).

I have traced the problem with gdb and it segfault when using the
usb_busses structure (a linked list).

I believe we need a recompiled libusb and to rebuild all depending
packages against this new package. If the problem is not in woody (libc
or gcc older, or ...) then we need to build all packages under woody.

Christophe

 It appears the gphoto2 bug is fixed in sid? fwiw libusb is linked to
 glibc 2.2.4-4 which is the same as gphoto2.

All programs using this library fail with :

 You haven't.  If you no longer have access to the old secret key then
 you need to find someone with a key in the Debian keyring and get them
 to sign the new key.  
 
 Nothing you have done thus far (and nothing you can do without either

 demonstrates that the two keys are owned by the same person.  All you've

I was aware of -f (I put it voluntarily) I hope it is not the reason and
I will write a script to know how much mails have been ignored by
spamassassin. I guess I noticed this one was not scanned by spamassassin
because it obviously should have been tagged as spam, so perhaps this is
something that happen regularly.

I was not aware of this 250k limit. I would have expected spamassassin
to check at least the header in this case. I looks enough to detect it
as a spam.

I am so used of the spamassasssin efficiency ...

Hi Anthony Towns,

Would it be possible to remove the current gphoto2 package (final-1) from woody 
?
It is clearly broken until the new libusb enter woody and when libusb
arrive a new gphoto2 will follow.

I am afraid that gphoto2 will be broken in the official woody release if
the release happens before the updated libusb package. 

The sane problem is apparently solved and gphoto2 2.0final-3 is build on
arm.

 Not exactly. I uploaded another NMU, now sane-backends should build on

 today, we can expect to have all arches in at most 2 days...
 
 I uploaded with urgency=high, so chances are the libusb-dependent
