[Bug 1847611] Re: Installing prelink on a fresh eoan install gets me a "Core dumped" error

2019-11-07 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
As the Debian maintainer I filed a removal ticket
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=921401 but there's one
package using it (sl-modem, I think that's fixable by throwing
-Wl,-execstack or something at it) that I haven't gotten around to
chasing. If someone wants to apply Ubuntu-specific changes to deal with
the problem (perhaps remove both packages? does anyone even use sl-modem
these days?) that would be entirely reasonable, IMO.

I will try to make these changes in Debian and requestsync for Ubuntu's
development branch at ... some point ... but I'm clearly bad at having
time.

For what it's worth, all the other examples build successfully, too, and
the resulting debathena-transform-example_1.0.deb works properly when
installed (it reconfigures lynx so its home page is web.mit.edu).

[Bug 1725110] Re: config-package-dev 5.2 broke transforms

2017-10-27 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  As reported at https://bugs.debian.org/873966 , a patch in config-
  package-dev 5.2 broke the transform functionality entirely. Any attempt
  to use transforms in a config package causes the build to fail with
  
  Can't use string ("/ARRAY(0x7fda137152e0)") as an ARRAY ref while
  "strict refs" in use at /usr/bin/dh_configpackage line 394.
  
  config-package-dev is a tool used as a build-dependency in private
  (third-party) Debian packages, so this causes those packages to FTBFS in
  artful when they built successfully in older releases.
  
  Bruno Maitre reported the problem and provided a patch to fix the bug,
  which has been incorporated into version 5.3 in Debian.
  
  [Test Case]
  
  config-package-dev ships one example that uses the transform
  functionality, but the version in 5.2 doesn't quite build right in
  artful (or in Debian unstable). So the easiest way is to grab the
  updated example from git:
  
  apt install config-package-dev debhelper lynx
  wget http://github.com/sipb/config-package-dev/archive/master.tar.gz
  tar xf master.tar.gz
  cd 
config-package-dev-master/examples/debhelper/debathena-transform-example-1.0
  dpkg-buildpackage
  
  With config-package-dev 5.2, this will FTBFS at the "dh_configpackage"
  step; with the fixed version, the package will build. (If you're curious
  you can try dpkg -i'ing the resulting package, which will change lynx's
  home page to default to web.mit.edu.)
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  I'm attaching two debdiffs to this bug. One backports version 5.4 from
  Debian unstable, which in addition to fixing this bug, fixes the
  examples to build on unstable, adds an autopkgtest to make sure the
  examples build, and makes no other code changes. The other just cherry-
  picks the one change.
  
  Arguably the regression potential for the autopkgtest version is less,
  since if tests pass that gives us confidence that the new version works
- on Ubuntu. (I have been doing my testing on Ubuntu.) I'd prefer this
+ on Ubuntu. (I have been doing my testing on Debian.) I'd prefer this
  version, under the rules for SRUing an upstream microrelease of a
  package with a test suite. But it does change more; if you prefer the
  targeted fix that's fine with me too.
  
  The regression potential compared to 5.2 is extremely low, since 5.2 is
  definitely broken for packages that use transforms, and Bruno's patch
  only affects the code that handles transforms. I am also confident in
  the patch now that I have added autopkgtests and they pass on Debian
  unstable, stretch, and jessie (thanks, travis.debian.net!).
  
  Also, as noted the previous time we SRU'd config-package-dev (LP
  #899732), nothing in the Ubuntu or Debian archive build-depends on
  config-package-dev; it's a tool used by external packages. So even if
  there is a regression it will be low-severity.

2017-10-19 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Above is a backport of the patch (a two-line fix to some Perl) to 5.2.

This is a backport of the entire 5.4 version, which includes
autopkgtests and fixes the examples to successfully build. The diff
might be easier to read on GitHub: https://github.com/sipb/config-
package-dev/compare/5.2...5.4

(I can provide these two as Git branches if that's easier for anyone)

[Bug 918896] Re: No data returned from MSSQL server

2016-07-21 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Hi Thomas,

A few months ago I pushed a branch updating the python-pymssql packaging
to Debian's git repository, but I'm still waiting to hear back from the
maintainer. I'll attempt to get sponsorship for a team upload to Debian
soon - if so, it's possibly better to just sync the package from Debian.

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648230#15 and
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/python-
modules/packages/pymssql.git/log/?h=2.1.1 . I can update this to 2.2.0.
I think your debdiffs were removed from the bug - please do check my
work and see if I got all the changes you were going to make.

Among other things I updated the source format to 3.0 (quilt).

[Bug 1412909] [NEW] Please raise Suggests for lib{pam, nss}-winbind to Recommends in trusty

2015-01-20 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Public bug reported:

The Debian packaging of Samba demoted the Recommends relationships to
libpam-winbind and libnss-winbind to Suggests after one Debian release:

samba (2:3.6.15-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Team upload.
  * New upstream bugfix release. Closes: #707042
  * Update VCS URL's for new git repo.
  * The recommends for the separate libnss-winbind and libpam-winbind
packages needed for the upgrade of winbind from squeeze to wheezy are no
longer needed. Lowering them to suggests.
Closes: #706434, #674853

 -- Ivo De Decker   Thu, 09 May 2013 11:55:03
+0200

Unfortunately this isn't enough for the Ubuntu LTS cycle. libpam-winbind
was a separate package in Precise, but libnss-winbind wasn't, and the
release-upgrader therefore doesn't know to install it. Can those
relationships be restored to Recommends in trusty-updates? (This delta
doesn't need to be kept past Trusty.)

We upgraded a server from Precise to Trusty this weekend and it was
really confusing to track down why nobody could log in any more. I know
it's been a while since the Trusty release, but given that Precise is
around for two more years, I strongly suspect we're not the last people
to upgrade a winbind-using Precise machine, and configuring samba
correctly is confusing enough as it is. :)

[Bug 1243473] Re: LD_AUDIT is broken on amd64

2013-10-30 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Hm, I guess I should mention that latrace -A (trace arguments) still
segfaults on my Quantal machine with this patch applied:

salmon-of-wisdom:~ gthomas$ latrace -A true

true finished - killed by signal 11
salmon-of-wisdom:~ gthomas$ dmesg | tail -1
[2319682.778709] true[26822]: segfault at 15 ip 7f64ed793c1d sp 
7fffd3b16670 error 4 in libc-2.15.so[7f64ed6a1000+1b5000]

(raring-amd64)root@salmon-of-wisdom:/home/gthomas# latrace -A true
27006 __libc_start_main(main = 0x401340, argc = 1, ubp_av = 0x7fff858118d8, 
auxvec = 0x403d60, init = 0x403df0, fini = 0x7f5ba8461d60, rtld_fini =

27006   exit(status = 0) [/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6] {

true finished - exited, status=0

So maybe there's another patch that ought to be cherry-picked to make
everything work. (Quantal and Raring have the same version of latrace,
so it's probably not an latrace bug.)

Apart from that, the system has been stable with this patch, as I
expected, and I've been writing a bunch of LD_AUDIT code and not having
trouble. And use of latrace in general, without -A, works.

Here's a debdiff that backports that one commit from upstream. I've

rebuilding on Quantal, which is what I use on my desktop at the moment,

[Bug 1243473] [NEW] LD_AUDIT is broken on amd64

2013-10-22 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Public bug reported:

[Impact]
LD_AUDIT is an "auditing interface" for the dynamic linker (ld.so), which 
allows an audit library specified in that environment variable to register 
hooks for loading and unloading objects, resolving relocations, and calling 
functions across dynamic libraries. It is particularly useful as a debugging 
tool; the command "latrace" is based on this functionality. It is also useful 
for making certain runtime changes to how libraries or symbols are resolved, 
similar to LD_PRELOAD but more powerful. See rtld-audit(7) for details.

In glibc before 2.17 (i.e., Precise and Quantal), on amd64, almost any
use of LD_AUDIT on amd64 crashes with the following backtrace:

[1538449.702152] python[13400]: segfault at 60 ip 7fdeaa97e8a3 sp 
7d50bb00 error 4 in ld-2.15.so[7fdeaa97+22000]
(gdb) bt
#0  _dl_profile_fixup (l=0x7fdeaab679d8, reloc_arg=3, retaddr=140594303358361, 
regs=0x7d50bbd0, framesizep=0x7d50bf28) at ../elf/dl-runtime.c:177
#1  0x7fdeaa9856e8 in _dl_runtime_profile () at 
../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-trampoline.h:49
...

In particular, l->l_reloc_result is NULL, and ld.so proceeds to
dereference it.

That code has since been patched upstream with the following comment:
  if (l->l_reloc_result == NULL)
{
  /* BZ #14843: ELF_DYNAMIC_RELOCATE is called before l_reloc_result
 is allocated.  We will get here if ELF_DYNAMIC_RELOCATE calls a
 resolver function to resolve an IRELATIVE relocation and that
 resolver calls a function that is not yet resolved (lazy).  For
 example, the resolver in x86-64 libm.so calls __get_cpu_features
 defined in libc.so.  Skip audit and resolve the external function
 in this case.  */

The referenced upstream bug (which unfortunately doesn't mention that it's 
fixed) is
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14843
The full upstream commit is
http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=2e64d2659d3edaebc792ac596a9863f1626e5c25
and only adds that one if statement and a test case.

[Test Case]
Install the latrace package, and try to trace anything that links libm.so (as 
described above) or anything else using the same functionality. `python -c 1` 
is a good test. Note that it segfaults:

salmon-of-wisdom:/tmp gthomas$ latrace python -c 1

python finished - killed by signal 11

The expected result is tracing output. Taken from an schroot with the
fix applied:

(precise-amd64)root@salmon-of-wisdom:/tmp# latrace python -c 1
30242 _dl_get_tls_static_info [/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2]  
30242 getrlimit [/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6]  
30242 __libc_dl_error_tsd [/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6]  
30242 __libc_pthread_init [/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6]  
...

You can also test this with a simple LD_AUDIT module:

salmon-of-wisdom:/tmp gthomas$ cat audit.c
unsigned int la_version(unsigned int version)
{
return version;
}   
salmon-of-wisdom:/tmp gthomas$ gcc -fPIC -shared -o audit.so audit.c
salmon-of-wisdom:/tmp gthomas$ LD_AUDIT=/tmp/audit.so python -c 1
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[Regression Potential]
It seems highly unlikely to me that this patch introduces the possibility of 
regression: it checks for a NULL in a case where ld.so was previously not 
checking and instead dereferencing the NULL pointer, so we were already going 
to crash if we hit the code added by this patch.

[Bug 1153089] [NEW] Please backport config-package-dev 5.0 to lucid, precise, and quantal

2013-03-09 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Public bug reported:

This is a followup to #1153009, which synced config-package-dev 5.0 to
raring. (This bug report is mostly adapted from that one.)

config-package-dev is a set of extension modules for CDBS and Debhelper
(including a dh7 sequencer module) to allow site sysadmins to create
Debian packages for system configuration. It's extensively used by the
MIT Debathena project, where it originated, and used by a handful of
other sites.

I released config-package-dev 5.0 a few days ago (it's Debian-native),
which includes the Debhelper and dh7 support, and it was just synced to
raring. The previous versions of config-package-dev only support CDBS.

The CDBS module in config-package-dev 5.0 remains completely API-
compatible with 4.x, and furthermore, there are no packages in the
archive that build-depend on config-package-dev (since it's primarily
intended for use at a specific site to configure their OS, not by an
upstream distribution), so the regression potential is basically
nonexistent. I've tested the new version on everything in Debathena, to
be confident.

Backporting config-package-dev would allow us to encourage its use by
folks learning Debian packaging today, since dh7 is gaining popularity
over CDBS. I gave a lightning talk at UDS-Q about config-package-dev,
and the number one question I received is "When will it support dh7 and
not just CDBS?"

I've made sure that the package builds cleanly on all supported Ubuntu
releases from Lucid onwards, and tested it on Debathena's sbuild-based
build server and made sure that all of the test packages in examples/
build fine on all of these releases. If you're curious, these builds are
in http://debathena.mit.edu/apt in the debathena-system component of the
precise-development etc. pockets.

I primarily want backports for Lucid, Precise, and Quantal. I'm happy to
have an Oneiric backport also, but it's being desupported soon, so I
don't particularly care.

config-package-dev (5.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add Debhelper support (Debathena: #867) (Closes: #693672). This
release includes a new command, dh_configpackage, and a sequencer
extension, dh --with config-package.
  * Use the terms "displace" and "hide" for actions of the
config-package-dev system, instead of the terms "divert" and
"remove", which already have existing (related) meanings in the
context of Debian packages.
  * Move examples/* to examples/cdbs/*, and create examples/debhelper/*,
with the same packages using Debhelper 7-style packaging.

  * Change config-package-dev's own packaging to Debhelper 7.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.4 (no changes required).
  * Update Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser locations to new upstream.
  * Drop CDBS runtime dependency. CDBS users should be explicitly

[Bug 1068431] Re: timidity crashes with either abort or segfault

2012-10-18 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Do you have a backtrace, either created yourself with gdb or
automatically submitted via apport? (apport bugs are private by default,
so you may have to make the bug public so I can see it.)

I believe there are instructions on grabbing a backtrace with gdb on the
Ubuntu wiki, if you're unfamiliar with how to do this.

[Bug 718695] Re: package timidity 2.13.2-37 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.

2012-10-14 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Thanks for reporting this bug, and sorry about the trouble. I realize
this was a long time ago, but do you still have logs of the terminal
output when installing timidity? If you're lucky, one of the
/var/log/apt/term.log.*.gz files has it -- try "zgrep timidity
/var/log/apt/term.log.*.gz". Please attach that file, if you still have
it.

It also looks like you have a locally-modified ALSA installation. Is
this intentional, and did you change anything in particular there? I've
seen a couple of other bugs where the timidity-daemon initscript will
crash if ALSA is configured incorrectly (and so the daemon cannot
start).

[Bug 753590] Re: timidity user is not deleted when purging timidity-daemon

2012-10-14 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Thanks for reporting this bug. It looks like general consensus is that
packages should not delete system users they create, even on purge:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/02/msg01100.html

In particular, http://bugs.debian.org/621833 is a bug against Debian
Policy to clarify that packages must not do this. (Currently Policy does
not say anything either way.) There are some arguments in that bug
report as to why that approach seems to be preferred.

Therefore, I am closing this bug as invalid.

[Bug 454401] Re: Errors from gtk+ interface of timidity

2012-10-14 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Thanks for the report. Many Gtk+ programs I see display various
assertion failures on stderr; this usually does not cause any practical
problems. Have you seen any actual issues with the interface, or are you
just reporting the messages?

It's certainly worth fixing the causes of these messages, but it's much
lower-priority than fixing actual problems.

[Bug 483491] Re: libtimidity missing in timidity+ package

2012-10-14 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Yeah, I don't think this relates to the timidity package itself.
Notably, this looks based on the old TiMidity, not TiMidity++, so it's
not even very related to the codebase packaged as timidity.

I'd be curious to see what gstreamer requires. One approach that comes
to mind would be to apply the same sort of changes (although starting
from the existing libtimidity patches might be hard) to the current
TiMidity++ codebase, to produce a shared library out of it; would this
help gstreamer?

[Bug 1058343] [NEW] Regression in CVE-2012-3524 security update

2012-09-28 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

There's a minor regression in CVE-2012-3524-dbus.patch, since dbus-
daemon-launch-helper is a setuid binary that links libdbus, and does its
own environment sanitization. Specifically, it attempts to pass through
DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, but that now fails, meaning a d-d-l-h-activated
program won't be able to find the system bus by asking for its starter
bus. (I believe there's no commonly-used software that depends on this,
but it's still documented as possible and d-d-l-h clearly attempts to
make it work, and my company has internal software that depended on
being able to ask for the starter bus.)

Colin Walters and I put together a patch that works around this:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/commit/?id=f68dbdc3e6f895012ce33939fb524accf31bcca5
It depends on a predecessor commit that just removes the DBUS_VERBOSE logic in 
the activation helper, since it's not useful.

This is in the D-Bus 1.6.8 release. Those two commits should be
trivially backportable to older releases, though.

If you think this is serious enough to warrant an update, let me know if
you want debdiffs for the current Ubuntu releases. We're working around
this locally for now.

Out of curiosity, what was the misconfiguration here?

(It sounds like you had added the word "source" in /etc/default/timidity
with some malformed syntax?)

[Bug 840925] [NEW] Please make /dev/kvm world-accessible in 45-qemu-kvm.rules

2011-09-04 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Public bug reported:

It would be nice if /dev/kvm were world-accessible, so that unprivileged
users could use hardware virtualization features without needing to be
added to the kvm group in advance by a system administrator.

Currently the following rule is in place on Natty:

w-a-thornhump-iii:~ geofft$ less /lib/udev/rules.d/45-qemu-kvm.rules
KERNEL=="kvm", GROUP="kvm", MODE="0660"

I'd like that to be changed to mode 0666. Fedora has decided that this
is okay in terms of security, and that this is a useful change to be
made. On my Fedora 15 box, the following rule is in place:

busy-beaver:/etc/udev/rules.d geofft$ less 80-kvm.rules
KERNEL=="kvm", GROUP="kvm", MODE="0666"

(I don't understand why it's in /etc, but it is in fact packaged in
qemu-system-x86-0.14.0-7.)

See also "We have already reserved a group called 'kvm' in the setup
package, so no need for yet another called 'vm'. The /dev/kvm should be
chgrp kvm by default. That said I agree with Mark that it'd be desirable
to also make it possible to just any normal user access to /dev/kvm out
of the box, so libvirt's per-user qemu:///session connection can be
used" from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481260 .

I'm working on a software package that would benefit from unprivileged
remote users being able to access kvm, so this change would be
beneficial to me. It sounds from the above text that this would also
make using libvirt easier.

[Bug 832841] Re: timidity version 2.13.2-39build1 failed to build in oneiric

2011-08-27 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
This is due to multiarch paths and something I don't entirely understand
causing ./configure to hard-code the location of NAS as
/usr/lib/libaudio.so unless you specify otherwise.

I'm planning on adopting this package in Debian and should have an upload to 
fix this as soon as my sponsor's online (since I'm not a Debian developer). If 
you care about fixing it sooner, see the fix from

[Bug 819106] [NEW] msttcorefonts fails to install because of bad fontconfig interaction

2011-07-31 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Public bug reported:

Per the following bug
http://bugs.debian.org/636173
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/819097

fontconfig's postinst likes to delete empty directories in
/usr/share/fonts. Unfortunately, msttcorefonts packages an empty
directory, /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts, and depends on its
existence in its own postinst. Therefore, if you install these two
packages in the same install run, msttcorefonts' postinst fails.

I've attached a debdiff to create this directory in the postinst instead
of packaging it in debian/dirs.

This is a re-filing of my comment at the bottom of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670629
I can't seem to reopen a "Fix released" bug, and it seemed better to open a new 
bug anyway. See that bug for some more context.

I filed the following bugs about the fontconfig issue:

I'm attaching a debdiff that creates

that this package installs fine whether or not I accept the license.

This change seems safe enough to go into natty-updates, but getting it

[Bug 819097] [NEW] fontconfig: don't "clean up" on new installs

2011-07-31 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Public bug reported:

This is a re-reporting of Debian #636173, since the actual failure is
only triggered on Ubuntu.

debian/fontconfig.postinst includes this snippet:

  if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt 2.4.0-1; then
  printf "Cleaning up old fontconfig caches... "
  for dir in /usr/share/fonts /var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d   
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts /usr/local/share/fonts ; do
if [ -d $dir ]; then
find $dir -name fonts.cache-1 -exec rm -f \{\} \;
find $dir -depth -mindepth 1 -type d -exec rmdir 
--ignore-fail-on-non-empty \{\} \;
fi
  done
  ...

This block gets run when fontconfig is initially installed, as well as
when upgrading from fontconfig (<< 2.4.0-1). This interacts poorly with
Ubuntu's ttf-mscorefonts-installer package, which includes an empty
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts directory and writes files to
that directory in the postinst. If you install fontconfig and ttf-
mscorefonts-installer in the same apt run, the directory will get
unpacked, fontconfig's postinst will rmdir it, and ttf-mscorefont-
installer's postinst will get really confused.

I proposed to Debian that it would suffice to just use "lt-nl" instead of "lt", 
so that an empty $2 (a new install) causes dpkg 
--compare-versions to return false. That way the cleanup code only runs on 
upgrade from the old version of fontconfig, where it is presumably actually 
needed, and not on first install.

For more context, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/670629

[Bug 719181] [NEW] lprng: FTBFS on Natty because of pickier linker

2011-02-14 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lprng

On Ubuntu Natty, the lprng source package fails to build with the
following error:

/usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [lpr] Error 1

As indicated by the error, the issue is that -lk5crypto is not being
passed. It turns out that configure.ac isn't using krb5-config, which is
the standard way to figure out what the linker flags should be. This
seems to have been fine in previous releases (and this version of the
package was never rebuilt since being imported from Debian), but Natty's
toolchain is not happy with this.

I'm attaching a debdiff that adds a few lines to configure.ac to try
krb5-config first before trying its built-in guesses at what the
Kerberos libraries are. Because this requires rerunning autoconf, the
debdiff also uses dh_autoreconf to do so.

[Bug 146314] Re: package description says html is included but it seams not

2011-01-23 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
schnollk, you wanted dpkg -L, not dpkg -S.

dpkg -L lists all files owned by a package; dpkg -S searches packages
for owning a file name or a part of a file name -- in this case the only
filenames containing "aptitude-doc-en" were /usr/share/doc/aptitude-doc-
en/*.

(I just installed aptitude-doc-en earlier tonight, was briefly confused,
and then ran dpkg -L and figured out what was going on. So I don't
disagree that the location is a bit confusing.)

[Bug 538912] Re: xlinks shouldn't replace Firefox as /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser

2010-08-26 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
> The alternatives system is not a good way of managing the default

Perhaps, but it's what apps that use sensible-browser (alpine, xpdf, end
up using, which is why I really care. Perhaps another solution would be
to make ubufox or something make sensible-browser unconditionally open
Firefox...

(It is kind of telling that the first page of Google results for
sensible-browser are mostly people trying to figure out how to make
their Ubuntu sensible-browser Firefox.)

> and it's pretty difficult (or nearly impossible) to pick a priority
> that will please everyone and won't make some users upset.

Well, there's a little Firefox icon in the gnome-panel, and that seems
to be sufficient, and I imagine people would replace that icon if for
some reason it were a launcher for xlinks2 or Iceweasel or Epiphany
instead.

I would claim that that means that Firefox is Ubuntu's default browser,
and so that's what sensible-browser should launch. If people want to
change their preferences on a case-by-case basis, they can set $BROWSER.

See also bug #204858 for people ultimately wanting sensible-browser to
open Firefox (or Konqueror on Kubuntu). I'm perfectly cool with deciding
that we don't want to do this with alternatives or xdg-open or whatever,
but I think sensible-browser should be fixed on Ubuntu.

If you think that this should be a different bug, and we should wontfix
the current one about xlinks, I'm happy to file a new bug.

Hi Wouter,

Is the bug present in the version of lighttpd included with Ubuntu

using an older version of lighttpd as the mirror?

There is a known bug in lighttpd regarding pipelining that cases corruption 
when installing from apt, but this should have been fixed in 1.4.24, and Lucid 
has 1.4.26. We are running into this at our site and will be testing if 
upgrading the mirror server from Jaunty to Lucid fixes this.

[Bug 441950] [NEW] dh-make-perl 0.59 FTBFS since NO_NETWORK is unset

2009-10-03 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dh-make-perl

Bug #404272 merged in 0.59, to fix an FTBFS in 0.57 fixed in 0.58.
Unfortunately, the additional changes between 0.58 and 0.59 included a
replacement of debian/rules with just the "dh" command, which
unintentionally stopped setting NO_NETWORK while running tests. This
causes the package build to fail while running tests, because the
buildds are not connected to the network.

This is eventually fixed in svn HEAD after some other various work on
debian/rules, but you should be able to fix it more simply by replacing
"dh" with "NO_NETWORK=1 dh", as in the attached debdiff.

Even so, it's possible for people to have the pine package installed.
The source package is provided in

with the intention of people building it manually because binaries can't
be distributed (see debian/rules). So the packaging for alpine should be
fixed, because Ubuntu intends you to have binary pine packages, whether

[Bug 330766] Re: pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as ntfs

2009-08-09 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
I installed the Jaunty backport from Evan's PPA, and it fixes the
problem for me. (For bonus points, most audio seems to fall back to ALSA
directly if Pulse doesn't start.)

I'm running into this issue with a home directory in the AFS networked
file system that's exceeded its quota; if you can't log in at all, you
can't get to your files to delete them.

Marking as confirmed and subscribing ubuntu-sru.

[Bug 367854] [NEW] screen's initscript "cleans" currently running sessions

2009-04-27 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: screen

If you manage to start a screen session before the rcS.d initscripts run
(e.g., because you do this at the "type password for emergency
maintenance" prompt, e.g. because you set SULOGIN=yes in
/etc/default/rcS), then /etc/rcS.d/S70screen-cleanup will delete the
socket for that screen in /var/run/screen. However, the screen process
will still be running... and as far as I can determine, it's impossible
to re-attach to that screen.

screen -wipe has the appropriate logic to delete only screen sockets
without corresponding running screen processes. Could we adapt the
initscript to check running screen processes via /proc/.../fd, or loop
over each user with screen -wipe, or something?

This is with screen 4.0.3-11 on Intrepid.

[Bug 104602] Re: root password visible at emergency console

2009-03-30 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Still an issue on my Intrepid laptop, when enabling SULOGIN in
/etc/default/rcS. Which "usplash fixes that ... went into Hardy" fixed
this? Presumably, we need to move that code to just before sulogin runs,
instead of merely before fsck runs?

2009-03-18 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
I can confirm that installing the Jaunty package (via adding the repo
and pinning all but mit-scheme and libltdl7) works perfectly on my
Intrepid laptop. Because of the versioned dependency on libtldl7, I
think that will need to be SRU'd too.

[Bug 343389] Re: Inconsistent kerning in Firefox

2009-03-15 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Confirmed; same issue on Firefox 3.0.6, Intrepid, defaulting to DejaVu
Sans, under xmonad with no GNOME or msttcorefonts.

This doesn't seem like a problem with the web page's design to me; it's
a very straightforward example. I do wonder if the same kerning issue is
present in other programs that render text, though.

[Bug 340993] [NEW] alpine's ./configure wants Build-Depends and Depends: aspell

2009-03-11 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: alpine

alpine's debian/rules configures it it
  --with-spellcheck-program=aspell
which according to the changelog has been in Debian since 0.82+dfsg-4.

However, if you build it without aspell installed on your local system, 
./configure reports:
  checking for aspell... no
  checking for ispell... no
  checking for spell... no
  checking for aspell... no
  checking for ispell... no
and then builds the resulting binary without spell-checking support. You can 
confirm this by installing alpine, starting the composer with "alpine 
f...@example.com", scrolling to the message body, and pressing Ctrl-T.

If you install aspell on the build system before configuring, the build
process successfully finds aspell, and Ctrl-T works in the resulting
binary. I've only tested this on a build server in an Intrepid chroot,
building in a clean environment and then after manually installing
aspell, but I believe the same packaging bug applies to Hardy as well.

So, alpine's package needs to Build-Depend on aspell, so it's present
for ./configure, and to Depend on (or at least Recommend) aspell, so
it's available for use on the target system.

[Bug 335666] Re: libc6 integration gives way wrong error message to libc5 binaries.

2009-03-03 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
So I was looking into two workarounds for this.

One is a stub ld-linux.so.5 that gets mad at you and exits. If you just
compile a short program that write()s an error message with gcc -static
-fPIC, it "works" as an interpreter.

The other option, which I think is a little more suitable, is to address
this at the kernel level. The current code path in fs/binfmt_elf.c
attempts to find the interpreter specified in the file, and if this
returns an error, that errno returned is returned directly by exec. We
can translate ENOENT (and perhaps other errors?) to ENOEXEC before
returning. The patch attached has been tested on Intrepid, and should
actually apply to kernel 2.6.20 onwards.

unpatched$ sed "s/ld-linux.so.2/ld-linux.so.1/" < /bin/ls > ls && chmod +x ls 
&& ./ls
bash: ./ls: No such file or directory

patched$ sed "s/ld-linux.so.2/ld-linux.so.1/" < /bin/ls > ls && chmod +x ls && 
./ls
-bash: ./ls: cannot execute binary file

According to the Open Group's copy of POSIX at
http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/exec.html
ENOENT is only to be returned from execve if "path" or "file" doesn't exist, 
and ENOEXEC indicates the binary has an "unrecognized format".

So this seems like a reasonable (and very tiny) change to make. Could we
get it in Ubuntu's kernel? I also plan to submit this to the LKML.

** Attachment added: "Return ENOEXEC instead of ENOENT if an ELF binary's 
interpreter doesn't exist."
