Package: zinf
Version: 2.2.5-5.1+b1
Severity: normal


Hi,

I'm sharing a common homedir between my main amd64 system and a i386
chroot.  There are problems with the database(s) in ~/zinf/db/.

When zinf creates the database on the amd64 system, and is later
started on a the i386 system, I get this error:

$ zinf
gdbm fatal: read error

When zinf creates the database on the i386 system, and is later
started on a the amd64 system, I get this error:

$ zinf
failed to open /home/bonnaud/.zinf/db/metadatabase
zinf: src/database.cpp:57: Database::Database(const char*, int): Assertion 
`m_dbase' failed.
Aborted

Do you know if the binary format of gdbm databases is supposed to be
the same on different architecture ?  I could not find this info in
the doc.

 - If so this this is a problem that makes gdbm a bad choice for zinf
(think about home directories shared with NFS across a network of
heterogeneous architecture systems).

 - If not, this is bug.

Version: 2.2.5-5.2+rm

The zinf package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/423359 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
Barry deFreese
