Package: memtest86+ Version: 4.20-1.1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
While testing upgrading from wheezy to jessie I found that the memtest86+ postinst seems to indefinitely hang the upgrade. I waited for about 10 minutes before aborting so it is possible that it would eventually continue, but it seems unlikely. The last couple of messages printed where: --- BEGIN --- File desriptor 3 (pipe:[92623]) leakes on vgs invocation. Parent PID 11755: /usr/sbin/grub-probe /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem. Found Debian GNU/Linux (7.8) on /dev/mapper/vg-root_snapshot done --- END --- Now 'vg-root_snapshot' is a LVM snapshot of my root lv for backup purposes, in case the upgrade goes wrong. I don't know why memtest86+ is invoking grub or why it iterates over the snapshot. Background the process (Ctrl-Z) and killing the memtest86+.postint process will continue the upgrade but it will report an error configuring memtest86+. Some extra info: the system is using software RAID (md) with encryption on top (LUKS) which then contains a LVM pv/vg/lv. If desired I can provide a script of the entire upgrade or just the part related to memtest86+. Obviously I would really appreciate if this issue were resolved before jessie is released. Sincerely, Laurens PS. When reporting this issue through reportbug it warned me that my version of memtest86+ was newer than the one included in Debian, which is weird and seems incorrect. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.8 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages memtest86+ depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 memtest86+ recommends no packages.
