------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-07-07 21:48 ------- It's very weird that 4000 other packages work fine with glibc in Mandrake 9.0 and 9.1, and one package that breaks blames it on glibc. If the author can't provide facts to back up his statement of "Some of the latest Linux distributions contain severely flawed glibc binaries and libraries." with the reason glibc is the problem, I would tend to side with glibc. Of course, you can also test with the glibc in the glibc_lsb package on 9.0, which was certified as lsb-compliant, and then ask the author why his software does not work on lsb-compliant systems. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Mondo is a truly amazing bare metal disaster recovery and backup/restore program. It's capable of rebuilding a down system via rescue media and a set of backup media. The result is a completely usable system with recovered data, configuration and devices. Basicly the system looks _exactly_ like it did at the last backup. But, Mondo will not work with tape media on Mandrake as of Mandrake's 9.0 release. I'm told that Mondo works fine with CD-R media, but I can't realisticly backup 9-10GB of data onto CD-R. The reason that the Mondo team gives for the problem is given on http://www.mondorescue.org/download/contribute.html and repeated here: Some of the latest Linux distributions contain severely flawed glibc binaries and libraries. The default Mandrake 9.0, SuSE 8.0, SuSE 8.1 distributions contain buggy glibc packages. If you find that Mondo does not function properly on your computer and you are running on of these distributions, especially if the errors involve tape handling or pthreads then please file a bug report against your glibc/pthreads library with the vendor of your Linux distribution. Until the vendors fix the bugs, there is nothing I can do. One symptom of the problem is that doing the bare metal restore fails and leaves the system completely unusable, needing to be rescued by tomsrbt or similar boot floppy. It could be that Red Hat is enhancing their glibc/pthreads implementation. I've heard rumors to that effect, and looking at their package, I would suspect that this could be true. Thanks....
