Package: suck Version: 4.3.2-5 Severity: normal The suck package in Debian Etch contains a non SSL enabled rpost (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=173282 - seems like it was not really fixed or was broken again).
Standard rpost, using a non-existent host just to test if rpost does accept the option -z: | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/bin/rpost test.example.com -z | Invalid argument: -z, ignoring | Using Port 119 | test.example.com: Could not get host information: Success Downloading the package and trying to compile rpost: | cd /temp | apt-get build-dep suck | apt-get source suck | cd suck-4.3.2/ | ./configure | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/suck-4.3.2$ make rpost | gcc -c -O2 -DHAVE_LIBSSL -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSUCK_VERSION=\"4.3.2.1\" makephrases.c | makephrases.c: In function ‘main’: | makephrases.c:123: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘exit’ | gcc -c -O2 -DHAVE_LIBSSL -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSUCK_VERSION=\"4.3.2.1\" suck_phrases.c | gcc -c -O2 -DHAVE_LIBSSL -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSUCK_VERSION=\"4.3.2.1\" rpost_phrases.c | gcc -c -O2 -DHAVE_LIBSSL -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSUCK_VERSION=\"4.3.2.1\" test_phrases.c | gcc -c -O2 -DHAVE_LIBSSL -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSUCK_VERSION=\"4.3.2.1\" both_phrases.c | gcc -c -O2 -DHAVE_LIBSSL -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSUCK_VERSION=\"4.3.2.1\" lmove_phrases.c | gcc -o makephrases makephrases.o suck_phrases.o rpost_phrases.o test_phrases.o both_phrases.o lmove_phrases.o -lnsl | ./makephrases phrases.h | Created phrases.h | gcc -c -O2 -DHAVE_LIBSSL -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSUCK_VERSION=\"4.3.2.1\" both.c ! gcc -c -O2 -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSUCK_VERSION=\"4.3.2.1\" rpost.c | gcc -o rpost both.o both_phrases.o rpost.o rpost_phrases.o -lnsl -lssl | rpost.o: In function `parse_filter_args': | rpost.c:(.text+0x4a1): warning: the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp' As you can see, rpost is *not* compiled with -DHAVE_LIBSSL as it should be; from the source: [rpost.c] | #ifdef HAVE_LIBSSL | case 'z': /* use SSL */ | myargs->do_ssl = TRUE; | myargs->portnr = DEFAULT_SSL_PORT; | break; | #endif As my knowledge of make files and the like is .. um ... rather limited, I'm not sure how you would fix that correctly; a "works-for-me" fix was to manually change the Makefile, changing | rpost.o: rpost.c | $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $(DBZ_GCC_FLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(DEFS) $(PERL_DEFS) $(PERL_INC_LOC) $< to | rpost.o: rpost.c | $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $(SSL_DEFS) $(DBZ_GCC_FLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(DEFS) $(PERL_DEFS) $(PERL_INC_LOC) $< Now rpost *does* have SSL_ | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/suck-4.3.2$ ./rpost test.example.com -z | Using Port 563 | test.example.com: Could not get host information: Success I hope that makes some sense ... *scratch* -thh -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages suck depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4etch3 SSL shared libraries Versions of packages suck recommends: ii perl 5.8.8-7etch3 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
