Bug#1022564: locale related segmentation fault
Package: libc6 Version: 2.35-3 Severity: important I ran into this issue while updating packages on a Debian/sid machine, and the install scripts for "ntpsec" and "tzdata" started failing with segfault. I couldn't find a way to reproduce it on that machine immediately. I started suspecting the machine might be failing. But then I ran into the problem on another machine that runs "bird" routing daemon, as its control program "birdc" also started segfaulting, but started working if I set LC_ALL=C. Then I found I could also get the install scripts on the first machine to work with LC_ALL=C. So, steps to reproduce: root# apt-get install bird root# LC_ALL=asdf birdc I'm sure there's a way to reproduce it without installing new packages, but rather than trying to find one, I thought I'd report the problem as soon as possible, because it smells to me like there might be some overflow involved...

Bug#617759: Bug#619897: Reproducible on sparc
Hi, I used icedove using the LD_BIND_NOW=1 trick for a couple of days and now suddenly I notice that it starts OK even without it. I have been updating packages from unstable/sid every day, but I haven't noticed any relevant package being upgraded, so I suspect there's something else at play here ... -- Aleksi Suhonen / Axu TM Oy Internetworking Consulting Cellular: +358 45 670 2048 World Wide Web: www.axu.tm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#593571: libc6: RES_ROTATE resolver option broken?
Package: libc6 Version: 2.11.2-2 Severity: normal There appears to be something wrong with RES_ROTATE. I had options rotate in my /etc/resolv.conf and my web browsers would occasionally report well known websites as unknown hosts. Traceroute also missed reverse mappings on many hops. I snooped my DNS traffic with wireshark and noticed that sometimes the resolver doesn't even send any queries before announcing that some name doesn't exist. While Googling for the issue, I found this: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2002-05/msg00035.html It sounds like the same issue, but I'm not sure. I hope it's useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-8 GCC support library libc6 recommends no packages.

Bug#166721: glibc: too many bugs
Package: glibc Version: unavailable; reported 2002-10-28 Severity: normal Tags: sid This bug report addresses two problems with the whole glibc package family: Firstly, there are hundreds of open bugs in glibc. Some of them are over five (5) years old. Some (most?) of them appear to be fixed, but have still been left outstanding. How can users with problems with the package(s) be expected to give meaningful feedback? Secondly, on sparc (and possibly on other non-intel architectures as well) only locales seems to be built, since it's architecture independent. Hence routinely when new glibc packages are created, the sparc platform gets out of sync packages with non-existant dependencies. Careless users will get their locales package uninstalled and they can't reinstall it. Many other packages may suffer as a result as well. I probably ought to debug this myself, but as my defence I will reiterate the fact that there are too many open bugs to wade through first. (Hmm ... glibc-doc is built too of course, but it's not featured in important interdependencies.) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: sparc Kernel: Linux monni 2.4.18 #2 Fri Jul 19 06:52:09 EEST 2002 sparc Locale: LANG=3DC, LC_CTYPE=3Dfi_FI -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
