Package: firebird2.5-classic Version: 2.5.0.26054~ReleaseCandidate3.ds2-1+b1 Severity: normal
When I'm trying to start a trace using something like this # cat >/tmp/fb-trace <database rt> enabled true log_connections true log_transactions true </database> ^D # fbtracemgr -se localhost:service_mgr -user sysdba \ -fe /dev/stdin -start -name test -config /tmp/fb-trace The trace seemingly starts (fbtracemgr is connected to the terminal and is running) but nothing is printed even though there's activity in the database being monitored, and in the firebird server log I have a message like this: aquinas Wed Oct 17 14:24:20 2012 Trace plugin libfbtrace.so returned error on call trace_create. Error details: cannot initialize UNICODE collation to use in trace plugin I managed to find an upstream bug report [1], from which it follows that certain versions in Ubuntu are also affected (and they are supposedly just have been pulled from Debian), and that the real culprit is the ICU v4.4 package with which the libfbembed2.5 is linked. The end result is that it seemingly impossible to run a trace against a Firebird 2.5 instance in Squeeze. I do know that this bug report is somewhat late to the party as Squeeze is not so long from becoming the new oldstable, but possibly you could suggest a workaround. P.S. Currently I'm trying to build a Squeeze back port of ICU 4.8 to try convincing Firebird to use it as suggested in [1], by adding icu_versions = 4.2 to fbintl.conf. I'm not sure this will work as Firebird in Debian is probably built with --with-system-icu, but will report back if I'll succeed in doing this. 1. http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3281 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
