Package: courier
Version: 0.60.0-1
Severity: important
User: [email protected]
Usertags: perl-sys-init3
As described in the 'perlembed' document, programs embedding Perl
must use the PERL_SYS_INIT3() and PERL_SYS_TERM() macros to provide
system-specific tune up of the C runtime environment necessary to run
Perl interpreters.
Your package has been identified as failing this:
- at least one of the binary packages built from the source depends
on libperl5.10
- the unpacked source matches 'perl_parse' but not 'PERL_SYS_INIT3'
As a consequence, the embedded Perl interpreter is most probably
broken on the hppa architecture, where PERL_SYS_INIT3() is needed for
initializing lock structures. Without this, calling perl_parse() will
hang inside pthread_mutex_lock(). See #486069 for more information.
Cheers,

Folks,
I am closing all pre-jessie bugs as the courier package as there are
simply too many of those and they might have been already fixed in
recent releases. I am sorry to do so, but the courier package had seen
the last upload from respective maintainer in 2014 and it has been NMUed
several times since then, and I am just doing some basic maintenance
work, and I don't have neither time nor motivation to check whether bugs
from 2000-2010 are still valid.
If you care about your bug, please retest with recent version in Debian
unstable, and if you are able to reproduce, please reopen it and tag
with "found <bugnum> 0.76.3-2". I'll try my best to resolve the bug if I
have a spare time.
The courier is in desperate need of a maintainer who actually uses
courier mta. Or at least a co-maintainer that could test the changes
before pushing them forward.
Cheers,
