On my systems where things fail, /etc/localtime is a relative symlink pointing to ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin. Manually replacing this with an absolute link allows the tzdata update to proceed. Sadly, this is not an option in a debspawn container (because that tool doesnt allow manual tinkering with the container). Greetings Marc

I fixed an issue in the ldap autopkgtest¹ recently, but your logs looks like the test gets further than the place where this issue errors out. Would more output in the test help? What is the canonical way to write a test that can have its verbosity turned up for debugging, how is this wish communicated to a system that runs the tests in an automated way? Can a mere mortal DD run an autopkgtest on a porterbox? Greetings Marc

I have uploaded two typescripts from nscd -d with debug_level 0 to https://q.bofh.de/~mh/stuff/ - one with the invalidation code in adduser in place, one with the invalidation code removed. Both logs show the adduser test suite running. Unfortunately, that doesnt look like I can make any sense from that. I see nscd seeing changes to /etc/passwd and /etc/group, so I guess that what we do is correctly reflected by nscd even without the explicit invalidation. Additionally, I guess that adduser is invalidating caches that don't need invalidation (logs showing explicit invalidations without the software noticing changed files). I am wondering about the following though: monitored file `/etc/group` was deleted, removing watch monitored file `/etc/group` was created, adding watch without seeing actual caches being invalidated. Could it be possible that /etc/group is rewritten and renamed and that nscd is only watching for changes? Or am I missing something here? Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

Re: Seeking clarification for nscd invalidation
Hi Carlos, thank you for commenting.

I regret to say that I don't use nscd in any of my installations. My last superficial contact to nscd was like two decades ago.

Seeking clarification for nscd invalidation
[Please Cc: me on replies, I am not subscribed to Debian-glibc] Hi, adduser still has code to invalidate nscd cache after doing changes to the user database. I would like to get rid of this and just document that people using nscd should use the provided hook to invalidate their nscd cache after creating or deleting users. I am wondering whether this is actually needed any more. The nscd source code contains numerous calls to inotify, and https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/nscd.8.html suggests that it actually notices changes to the passwd/group "database" files and invalidates automatically at least since 2015. The nscd manpage in Debian seems to have been taken from a different source. I guess it was not updated. Do we still need to invalidate nscd cache "manually" or will nscd cover the basic use cases automatically? Greetings Marc -- ----- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

Seeing clarification for locale names
[Please Cc: me on replies, I am not subscribed to Debian-glibc] Hi, I am a bit confused about locale names. In literature, one can see that a proper locale name is, for example, en_US.UTF-8. This is also what I write in /etc/locale.gen to have one locale "generated" on my system. locale -a, however, will print en_US.utf8. I _think_ this is the intended behavior since there is a normalizing function somewhere in the glibc sources which lowercases everything and thows out all interpunction. Otoh, there are applications that will malfuntion or print a warning if the locale isn't explicitly set to .UTF-8 (upper case, hyphen). In my shell profile scripts, I have code that will check whether the intended locale is actually present on the local system by comparing to locale -a's output (avoiding a fallback to a non-UTF-8 locale not knowing about German umlauts if one is available). Hence, my locale environment variables are all set to the respective .utf8 suffix since that's what locale -a will print. Is this a wrong approach? I would appreciate pointers to documentation, personal opinions, war stories, encoding tales, historic lectures, anything that might enlighten me and help me build the knowlegde and understanding about UNIX locales are supposed to work in Debian GNU/Linux. Thank you in advance! Greetings Ma 'Schei? Encoding!' rc -- - Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

Bug#968252: gai.conf should mention ip addrlabel
Package: libc-bin Version: 2.31-3 Severity: normal Tags: ipv6 Hi, it looks like the label values set in the gai.conf file are ignored. Instead, the values configured in the live kernel via ip addrlabel are used. It might be possible that there is some magic at bootup reading gai.conf and poking the content in the kernel, but in the running system it looks like ip addrlabel is the way to do configuration. This should be properly reflected in the comments inside the gai.conf file that comes with libc-bin.

Just assume: - ansible/puppet/salt etc has a /etc/locale.gen which for some reason doesn't have the current set of comments - a handler calls dpkg-reconfigure locales to handle the change in /etc/locale.gen - locales rewrites /etc/locale.gen with the current set of comments - ansible/puppet/salt runs again, notices that /etc/locale.gen is not as it should be according to its opinion - repeat starting with step 1 locales' current behavior forces people to have the /etc/locale.gen file with current comments in the configuraiton management code, and possible to have this "current" differently according to whether we have oldoldstable, oldstable, stable, testing od unstable.

If all software was correct, yes. I have a few programs from the GNOME
ecosystem that still insist on their German l10n with this setting.
I must admit that I have never fully understood all the locale stuff in
Unix :-(

Bug#864480: why is en_DK included but not en_DE?
Package: locales Version: 2.24-11 Severity: wishlist Hi, frankly, I don't have a clue whether I am filing this against the correct package or whether I would need to talk to some (which?) upstream for this, but maybe you can point me in the correct direction if I am wrong here. I am a native speaker of German, living in Germany. And I do detest software translated to German since German translations of technical terms are often clumsy. I would therefore love having my Debian in English, but with German punctuation, collation order, monetary and date display setting etc. Since an en_DK exists, but no en_DE, I usually run my systems with en_DK and correct the few differences between Danish and German customs manually. This is, however, getting clumsy as well. What do I do to bring a proper en_DE locale into Debian? I am willing to do some work by trying to give a patch and to maintain it in the future. Please advise what to do. Greetings Marc

Well, my personal preference would be not to worry about this until it becomes a real issue (that future error message may be descriptive enough, after all). Adduser has _a lot_ of installations and is mainly used by maintainer scripts. Thus, _a lot_ of people are bound to see error messages generated by adduser and are bound to be confused by them. Or you can just add 2/dev/null to the nscd -i invocation. That will also kill real error messages. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

On Tue, Oct 04, 2005 at 03:17:33PM +0200, Gabor Gombas wrote: Are there any useful real error messages now? For example, if nscd is not running, trying to invalidate a non-existing map will not produce an error message, and if nscd is running, the error message is misleading. I don't know, as I have never used nscd. I still prefer not fixing what is not broken. glibc upgrades are always complex and require lots of testing. So I think even if nscd behavior is changed upstream in the future, there will be enough time before the next Debian release to discover any problems and update adduser if neccessary.

Bug#330929: how can adduser reliably find out wheter nscd is running?
Package: nscd Severity: wishlist adduser needs to invalidate certain nscd tables after changes were done. Today, it looks for the pid file of nscd to find out whether nscd is running, and then calls nscd via system() with -i and the appropriate arguments. However, this heuristics has recently begun to fail because the pidfile has moved from /var/run to /var/run/nscd. Instead of changing adduser to check for both files (and probably fail on the next location change), I'd like to have a clearly drawn interface to find out whether it is necessary to invalidate nscd or not. What do you, as nscd maintainer(s) recommend to have adduser do? Thanks for your opinion.

This wouldn't be hard at all. Plus, you can probably get the maintainer to include the same patch in later versions. I feel we're at cross-purposes here. What I would like to have is the possibility to build a linux-kernel-headers package that _doesn't_ install 2.6 headers to /usr/include, leaving the 2.4 kernel headers intact. A package needing 2.6 headers could depend on my local linux-kernel-headers package and carry -I/usr/include/linux-kernel-headers in its Makefile. I don't see where this setup would break the local libc. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

Bug#225650: linux-kernel-headers: missing symlink include/asm - asm-$ARCH causes /usr/include/asm to be used
Package: linux-kernel-headers Version: 2.5.999-test7-bk-10 Severity: wishlist Hi, when the package is built, there is no include/asm. This causes /usr/include/asm to be used during package build, which breaks on woody. This will probably cause interesting effects when packaging the next kernel-headers version that has differing include/asm definitions. IMO, a symlink include/asm - asm-$ARCH needs to be generated on package build, otherwise building the test suite will fail.

Bug#225671: linux-kernel-headers: please consider making target directory configurable on build time
Package: linux-kernel-headers Version: 2.5.999-test7-bk-10 Severity: wishlist Hi, linux-kernel-headers places the headers in /usr/include, which is fine for a sarge or sid system. On woody, however, this makes linux-kernel-headers uninstallable if one doesn't want to update glibc (which is usually exactly what you want to avoid when using woody+backports). Some packages need more recent kernel headers to build (for example, devmapper). To help backporting these packages, it would be a good idea to have an option to build a linux-kernel-headers package that doesn't conflict with woody's libc6-dev. This would be more easily possible if there were a debian/rules option to set the target directory from /usr/include to /usr/include/foo. Please consider adding that option to ease backporting efforts.. Affected files would be: debian/linux-kernel-headers.install debian/linux-kernel-headers.preinst debian/rules debian/generate-asm.sh Greetings Marc -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux kes 2.4.23-kes #1 Mon Dec 22 10:14:13 UTC 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- no debconf information

This will probably cause interesting effects when packaging the next kernel-headers version that has differing include/asm definitions. IMO, a symlink include/asm - asm-$ARCH needs to be generated on package build, otherwise building the test suite will fail. Please give more details. I am going to try. When building the package, the testsuite is built with something along the lines of -I../include which points to include/asm in the source package root directory. That directory doesn't have an include/asm symlink at this time of building, causing #include asm/foo to pull in /usr/include/asm/foo instead of ../include/asm-$ARCH/foo. This is not a problem on sid since sid systems _currently_ have a compatible (identical?) file in /usr/include, but fails on woody. And it's bound to fail when the kernel headers are changed in a way that include/asm will differ. I know that changes to asm-i386/ show up in the testsuite results so it works here. Perhaps a different version of debhelper is breaking some assumption? Probably, since I am talking woody here. If this doesn't help, I will give more explicit results when I have again access to the build host. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.
