[Fink-devel] ethereal in 0.8.0 bindist

[Max Horn]

Hi there,

I was wondering if we still can't upload fixed packages for the 0.8.0  
bin dist... in particular, I am recently again swamped by mails  
complaining about ethereal-0.10.9-11 problems (besides other things  
it is missing a dep on gtk+2). I fixed those ages ago, but I still  
keep getting 2-3 mails per week, sometimes more, complaining about  
this... It's really a bit annoying to have to keep telling people  
that yes, I know the problem, yes, I fixed it, no, the fix is not  
available to you unless you compile from source... :-(


We had a fixed package in the bindist for this for some time, but at  
some time the whole tree reverted back to its original state -- I  
believe due to DNS control issues... ?



Bye,
Max

Re: [Fink-devel] ethereal in bindist back to old version?

Hi folks,

the ethereal 0.10.9-11 package in the bindist used to be broken (in  
several ways). Hence I replaced it in stable by version 0.10.12,

from that version.


From this point on, whenever people mailed me about problems they  
had with ethereal, it usually was due to the 0.10.9-11 package  
being installed. So I just told them to run

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install ethereal

and in almost all cases that worked perfectly!


However, recently it stopped working for them. They retain the old  
broken ethereal version. Is it possible that somehow the new .deb  
got pulled from the bindist again (maybe by accident) ?


Indeed, if I do the same steps as above, it downloads 0.10.9-11.  
What's going on here?!?


Unfortunately, DNS is no longer pointing at the correct copy of the  
bindist.  (This is because we no longer control DNS for  
finkmirrors.net).  The long-term fix is to change all of our URL's  
away from finkmirrors.net, which I am working on.  I will attempt, as  
a short-term fix, to see if I can get the old copy of the bindist in  
sync with the newer copy.

OK, this should be fixed now.  Users will need to be told to run
"sudo apt-get update" in order to find the new .deb.

In addition to the 10.3 binary being broken (thanks to Alexander K.  
Hansen for verifying this), it seems that the 0.10.9-11 binary has  
some missing dependencies. All of those are fixed in the current  
stable version. So if possible it would be nice if that could be used  
for the bindist instead...



Cheers,
Max

I guess you would contact the maker of the bindist with a request for 
an update (once this is confirmed).

Dave, Max (et. al.): 


I just downloaded the 10.3 ethereal binary package and checked the contents:

Yes.  As a test, I just compiled "ethereal-ssl" (rather than the "ethereal"
I had installed), and all worked fine.

My reading of the responses on the lists was that the later ethereal 
version that you get from source (0.10.0a-11 vs.  0.9.14-1 from binary) 
does indeed seem to work.

The ethereal 0.10.0a package should work just fine.

I don't have such plans at this time. I would have to reboot to 10.2 to 
do so. Maybe one of those days I'll do that and try to backport all my 
package updates to 10.2, though.

Sorry, just noticed this last post. The patches i made to imlib's

new one.

The patches were in the wrong order before which made them not work. (2  
patches are in there, one to fix the libtool 'convenience library' bug

I have to say that¹s an excellent point so I was compelled recompile
both, several times. Originally it was Eterm but I'm surprised I hadn't
recompiled both. I also wanted to see if my flags made any difference. I
learned a long time ago to use "-no-cpp-precomp" in my flags so I wanted to
see if this was arcane information. However, after unsetting the flags in my
environment "-no-cpp-precomp" still appeared during compilation so I guess
it's still necessary.

I got a really strange warning from ld while compiling Eterm that I
didn't notice the first time:

ld: warning -dylib_install_name /sw/lib/libEterm-0.9.2.dylib not found in
segment address table LD_SEG_ADDR_TABLE
/sw/var/lib/fink/prebound/seg_addr_table
ld: warning -undefined suppress disables -prebind

(__TEXT,__symbol_stub1)
ld: warning buttons.lo has local relocation entries in non-writable section
(__TEXT,__text)
ld: warning buttons.lo has local relocation entries in non-writable section
(__TEXT,__symbol_stub1)

There was a really long list of such pairs and I've never seen anything like
them. That compelled me to run update-prebinding and compile again. If this
actually has anything to do with the problem, I have a confession to make.
I've turned off the fix-prebinding process on my system. It seems to me that
the time it takes to log all of its failures costs more time than it could
possibly save. I've never actually seen it claim to have fixed anything.
Anyway, if that's part of the problem, I need to know it.

Well, that's as much as I've been able to learn and all the
recompilation hasn't helped anything; the crash report remains the same.
Thanks for the help. If anyone is successfully running Eterm, please let me
know. That's information too.

[jan . ruzicka]

Hi Max

I'm trying to update fink on my computer but the update always crashes 
on ethereal.

Unstable tree is used.

It shows always the same error :

before this error there is:

Yep, that's right! Sorry bout that... Yeah, it's pretty big, not something
before 0.4.0, but probably should be considered in the near future.

YOu are talking about variants here, not splitoffs. Those are an 
entierly different beast, and carry a big tail of their own problems 
with them. Not something we want to even attempt before 0.4.0 is out. 
And even after that, we need some more discussion before we can work 
on it, I think.

This is slightly from left-field, but still relevant I think... What about
implementing the other form of "Splitoffs" that was proposed a while back?
Instead of having 'ethereal' and 'ethereal-snmp', for example, as separate
.info files, there would be only one 'ethereal' .info file which specified
the options, etc, for a different build of the package... This could
certainly be in handy here, but if it's possible, should probably occur
after the next distro release, and before Fink (package manager) 1.0, I

Right now there is no support for snmp in ethereal, since I figured 
not everybody wants to have to install snmp just to get ethereal. I 
guess I could make an "ethereal-snmp" package if there is enough 
demand.

I second Gary's support for Ethereal 0.9.3 ! This is a very welcome update and it places us back on safe ground, since this takes care of all open security issues regarding Ethereal. One question, though: I've had no problems building the standard version, which comes up with the following config:

The Ethereal package has been configured with the following options.
Build ethereal : yes
Build tethereal : yes
Build editcap : yes
Build mergecap : yes
Build text2pcap : yes
Build idl2eth : yes
Build randpkt : no

...

Unpacking replacement ethereal ...
Setting up ethereal (0.9.3-1) ...


So far, so good, but how can I get it to pick up the UCD SNMP library when it is autoconfiguring its build ? I do have the latest installed:

i  net-snmp4.2.3-1 Tools and libraries for SNMP.

Thanks for everything, Max !

sorry to tell, but on my G4/Ti, the latest ethereal-ssl (0.9.3-1) is still
crashing after capturing packets for more than a few seconds :/
Maybe the non-ssl version is more stable?

[Gary Kerbaugh]

Title: Ethereal



Hi again Max,

OK, guinea pig time again. This time it's a real pleasure. I lost a hard drive recently so I have a very fresh install of OS X and Fink. Still, Ethereal 9.1 and 9.2 both crashed regularly with errors relating to memory and image manipulation. I sent you e-mails earlier with some of the error messages. Remember, this is a very fresh setup; I'm not using Gnome, for instance.

Well, I doggedly updated to Ethereal 9.3 when you posted it to CVS. Voila!! (Sorry about the French, but I don't know the German word) It works perfectly! In fact, it's bulletproof!! I tried everything I could to crash it and it hasn't crashed even once.

Naturally, Ethereal has my most ardent support for stable status. It's a phenomenal tool. I'm currently using it's output to help teach a computer class. You can't look at much Ethereal output and not learn network protocols! Thank you again for your superhuman efforts, in both development and package maintenance!
