Bug#452664: Can't upgrade libc6 in cowbuilder
Hi Pierre! You wrote: When I tried to upgrade my cowbuilder environment (i386 env on amd64), I got this error: you do that using linux32 ? (I don't think it matters much but who knows...). Could you also try to reproduce that in a simple deboostrapped chroot to see if the cowbuilder LD_PRELOAD isn;'t the culprit ? This bug is starting to look more and more like a Heisenbug. Upgrading libc6 only fails about half of the time, but other packages (tzdata for example) also fail sometimes with similar out of memory errors: etting up tzdata (2007i-2) ... cowdancer: unexpected WIFEXITED status in waitpid /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst: line 29: /etc/timezone: Cannot allocate memory dpkg: error processing tzdata (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: tzdata E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) However, the bug goes away if I unset the libcowdancer.so LD_PRELOAD, I guess that's where the problem is in. Some more debugging shows that the errors occors in the call to debconf: + PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 ++ export PERL_DL_NONLAZY ++ '[' '' ']' ++ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst configure 2.7-3 cowdancer: unexpected WIFEXITED status in waitpid /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst: line 142: /etc/ld.so.conf: Cannot allocate memory So, I guess this really is a bug in cowdancer, although I have no idea what the problem could be.

Bug#406744: linux-kernel-headers: __always_inline not defined outside __KERNEL__
Hi Daniel! You wrote: When including asm/system.h (I need a definition of wmb()), I'm Don't do that. The sanitized kernel headers (make headers_install, in 2.6.19 and later) do not even install asm/system.h. That is a strong sign you shouldn't be using it from userspace. I expect the header will go away in a future Debian version. Hmm, ok, I wasn't aware of that. Could you please add a #warning to that effect in the header? -- Kind regards, ++ | Bas Zoetekouw | GPG key: 0644fab7 | || Fingerprint: c1f5 f24c d514 3fec 8bf6 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] | a2b1 2bae e41f 0644 fab7 | ++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#156386: locale preconfig
I can reproduce this on both woody and sid. It seems like preconfiguring fails for locales. Whatever locales I select in the preconfig stage, they are not entered in /etc/locale.gen. Selecting locales in a dpkg-reconfigure run works fine, though. -- Kind regards, ++ | Bas Zoetekouw | GPG key: 0644fab7 | || Fingerprint: c1f5 f24c d514 3fec 8bf6 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] | a2b1 2bae e41f 0644 fab7 | ++
