Dear Bernhard,

We had this issue drawn to our attention last year by an early adopter of Debian 10 while it was still in testing. I thought that it was a bug, and submitted a report accordingly here: <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=889965>. I was told that it is not a bug, but a feature ;-)

If you are able, you could try setting the kernel parameter vsyscall=emulate. In the longer term, SHELXC/D/E will have to be rebuilt to support systems where the vsyscall has been disabled. This means they have to be dynamic executables that include the following in the output of 'ldd':

% ldd /bin/bash
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff50952000)
    ....

All current distros use vDSO, so this shouldn't cause portability problems by itself, but handling dynamic executables can be trickier than static ones.

For a little more background, see <https://lwn.net/Articles/446528/>

Finally, you have my commiserations: although this change has been a long time coming, it hasn't attracted a lot of attention. It was bound to catch users of static executables by surprise.

Regards,

Peter.

Hi Fellows,

we updated to Debian 10 on the local workshop computers, and reinstalled

Coot and ccp4. All fine.

Problem: Shelxc/d/e/  does not run, and

the call exits immediately sans any message.

This holds for the binaries included in ccp4 as well as for those from the SHELX site.

The executables from CCP4 and SHELX site – same file size, probably same - run fine under Debian 9.

I suspect a library problem.

Does some kind soul have CDE binaries for Debian 10 to share?

Many thx in advance, BR
