I want share how I was able to address the crashes on Lucid. In summary, I rebuild the source packages from Precise and installed them, and that fixed it. I suspect the fix might have come in 1.0.28 or 1.0.29, as they included these fixes in the changelog:
" Fix crash with PostgreSQL" and "Fixes segfaults on glibc". This was my process: - Add a 'precise/universe' 'deb-src' line to /etc/apt/sources.list - apt-get update cd ~/tmp apt-get source pure-ftpd-postgresql - remove line above from /etc/apt/sources.list - apt-get update cd pure-ftpd-1.0.35 apt-get build-dep pure-ftpd-postgresql debuild -us -uc cd ../ sudo dpkg -i pure-ftpd-postgresql_1.0.35-1_amd64.deb pure-ftpd-common_1.0.35-1_all.deb If anything is found to be wrong with the new packages, an uninstall/install cycle would return the machine to using the "Lucid" packages. Stefan Hornburg, you appear to be the package maintainer and also subscribed to this bug. Would it be possible to create a new release for Lucid that includes this crash-fix? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508768 Title: pure-ftpd with postgresql support in karmic and Lucid crashes frequently during authentication To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pure-ftpd/+bug/508768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
