Package: gcc-11-base
Version: 11.2.0-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hello!
During today's upgrade, apt-listbugs[^NOTE] warned me that upgrading
libc6 (2.31-13 -> 2.31-17) would produce sig ILL on Geode LX i386 CPUs.
See bug [#993162].
Since I have a Geode LX based box (a Soekris net5501), I decided to
pin libc6 to version 2.31-13, in order to avoid issues, while waiting
for a fixed version of libc6 to migrate to Debian testing (bookworm).
Despite this, I began to see sig ILL (for instance, the smartd daemon
could not be restarted), after the upgrade.
Some tests revealed that these issues were caused by the upgrades
of libstdc++6, libgcc-s1, and libgomp1 (10.2.1-6->11.2.0-3),
allowed by the new installation of gcc-11-base.
Downgrading those three packages and removing gcc-11-base seems to
avoid the sig ILL issues.
I am therefore filing this bug report against gcc-11-base, as a
courtesy to other apt-listbugs users (who will thus be warned
about the need to avoid installing gcc-11-base on Geode LX systems).
Please do not close, reassign, or downgrade the severity of this bug
report, until a proper fix is in place in libc6 and its effects have
propagated to binary packages generated from gcc-11.
Feel free to block this bug report by 993162, if appropriate.
Thanks for your understanding and patience!
[^NOTE]: for the record, I am the current maintainer of apt-listbugs
and, yes, that package is useful to me as well (of course!)
