--- Begin Message ---Package: python2.5 Version: 2.5.1-2 Severity: important Tags: patch python2.5 is unable to serialize a floating point variable which equals Infinity or NaN on ARM using marshal. As it is the function used when byte-compiling python source files, this breaks a lot of packages. For example python-xml: Setting up python2.5-minimal (2.5.1-1) ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/py_compilefiles", line 116, in <module> exit_status = int(not main()) File "/usr/bin/py_compilefiles", line 108, in main elif not compile_files(files, ddir, force, rx, quiet, ignore): File "/usr/bin/py_compilefiles", line 38, in compile_files ok = py_compile.compile(fullname, None, dfile, True) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/py_compile.py", line 138, in compile marshal.dump(codeobject, fc) ValueError: unmarshallable object pycentral: pycentral rtinstall: package python-xml: error byte-compiling files (214) pycentral rtinstall: package python-xml: error byte-compiling files (214) The problem is that python2.5 wants to manage the floating points in memory by itself, and assume that they are only little and big endian IEEE formats. Otherwise it fallback to a generic code, which does not handle NaN or Infinity. The attached patched fixed that by adding mixed-endian IEEE format, as it can be found on ARM old-ABI. Please fix this bug as soon as possible, as it make a lot of python packages uninstallable on ARM. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: arm (armv5tejl) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-versatile Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages python2.5 depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.3-7 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.6-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.4 4.4.20-8 Berkeley v4.4 Database Libraries [ ii libncursesw5 5.6-3 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsqlite3-0 3.3.17-1 SQLite 3 shared library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8e-5 SSL shared libraries ii mime-support 3.39-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii python2.5-minimal 2.5.1-2 A minimal subset of the Python lan python2.5 recommends no packages. -- no debconf informationdiff -u python2.5-2.5.1/debian/rules python2.5-2.5.1/debian/rules --- python2.5-2.5.1/debian/rules +++ python2.5-2.5.1/debian/rules @@ -915,6 +915,7 @@ hotshot-import \ subprocess-eintr-safety \ webbrowser \ + arm-float \ # pydebug-path \ only in patch2: unchanged: --- python2.5-2.5.1.orig/debian/patches/arm-float.dpatch +++ python2.5-2.5.1/debian/patches/arm-float.dpatch @@ -0,0 +1,119 @@ +#! /bin/sh -e + +# DP: Support mixed-endian IEEE floating point, as found in the ARM old-ABI. + +dir= +if [ $# -eq 3 -a "$2" = '-d' ]; then + pdir="-d $3" + dir="$3/" +elif [ $# -ne 1 ]; then + echo >&2 "usage: `basename $0`: -patch|-unpatch [-d <srcdir>]" + exit 1 +fi +case "$1" in + -patch) + patch $pdir -f --no-backup-if-mismatch -p0 < $0 + ;; + -unpatch) + patch $pdir -f --no-backup-if-mismatch -R -p0 < $0 + ;; + *) + echo >&2 "usage: `basename $0`: -patch|-unpatch [-d <srcdir>]" + exit 1 +esac +exit 0 + +--- Objects/floatobject.c.orig 2006-05-25 10:53:30.000000000 -0500 ++++ Objects/floatobject.c 2007-07-27 06:43:15.000000000 -0500 +@@ -982,7 +982,7 @@ + /* this is for the benefit of the pack/unpack routines below */ + + typedef enum { +- unknown_format, ieee_big_endian_format, ieee_little_endian_format ++ unknown_format, ieee_big_endian_format, ieee_little_endian_format, ieee_mixed_endian_format + } float_format_type; + + static float_format_type double_format, float_format; +@@ -1021,6 +1021,8 @@ + return PyString_FromString("IEEE, little-endian"); + case ieee_big_endian_format: + return PyString_FromString("IEEE, big-endian"); ++ case ieee_mixed_endian_format: ++ return PyString_FromString("IEEE, mixed-endian"); + default: + Py_FatalError("insane float_format or double_format"); + return NULL; +@@ -1073,11 +1075,14 @@ + else if (strcmp(format, "IEEE, big-endian") == 0) { + f = ieee_big_endian_format; + } ++ else if (strcmp(format, "IEEE, mixed-endian") == 0) { ++ f = ieee_mixed_endian_format; ++ } + else { + PyErr_SetString(PyExc_ValueError, + "__setformat__() argument 2 must be " +- "'unknown', 'IEEE, little-endian' or " +- "'IEEE, big-endian'"); ++ "'unknown', 'IEEE, little-endian', " ++ "'IEEE, big-endian' or 'IEEE, mixed-endian'"); + return NULL; + + } +@@ -1230,6 +1235,8 @@ + detected_double_format = ieee_big_endian_format; + else if (memcmp(&x, "\x05\x04\x03\x02\x01\xff\x3f\x43", 8) == 0) + detected_double_format = ieee_little_endian_format; ++ else if (memcmp(&x, "\x01\xff\x3f\x43\x05\x04\x03\x02", 8) == 0) ++ detected_double_format = ieee_mixed_endian_format; + else + detected_double_format = unknown_format; + } +@@ -1565,8 +1572,19 @@ + p += 7; + incr = -1; + } ++ else if (double_format == ieee_mixed_endian_format) { ++ if (le) ++ p += 4; ++ else { ++ p += 3; ++ incr = -1; ++ } ++ } + + for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) { ++ if (double_format == ieee_mixed_endian_format && i == 4) ++ p += -8 * incr; ++ + *p = *s++; + p += incr; + } +@@ -1739,6 +1757,27 @@ + } + memcpy(&x, buf, 8); + } ++ else if (double_format == ieee_mixed_endian_format) { ++ char buf[8]; ++ char *d; ++ int i, incr = 1; ++ ++ if (le) ++ d = &buf[4]; ++ else ++ d = &buf[3]; ++ ++ for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) { ++ *d = *p++; ++ d += incr; ++ } ++ d += -8 * incr; ++ for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) { ++ *d = *p++; ++ d += incr; ++ } ++ memcpy(&x, buf, 8); ++ } + else { + memcpy(&x, p, 8); + }
