Package: libgdal1-1.3.2 Version: 1.3.2-4 Severity: important /usr/lib/libgdal1.3.2.so refers to both /usr/lib/libmfhdf.so.4 and /usr/lib/libnetcdf.so.3, both of which define functions with identical names, in particular NC_check_id. The problem is that each of these libraries has its own copy of certain data structures, and if both are loaded terrible things happen, like netcdf initializing certain data structures with its own functions and reading them with mfhdf's functions.
The consequence is that it is impossible to write CDF files with gdal_translate: $ /usr/bin/gdal_translate -of gmt elevation.tif foo.gmt Input file size is 101, 101 netcdf: 3 is not a valid cdfid (What happens is that NetCDF checks a variable called cdfid against a list of open files... except that it calls the function from HDF to perform the check, which fails.) This is a known incompatibility, for which one can either disable HDF support in GDAL, or build HDF without including its own NetCDF implementation, as explained here: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/HDF -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.30.5-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages libgdal1-1.3.2 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch9+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcfitsio2 2.510-1.3 shared library for I/O with FITS f ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libgeos2c2a 2.2.3-3 Geometry engine for Geographic Inf ii libhdf4g 4.1r4-18.1 The Hierarchical Data Format libra ii libjasper-1.701-1 1.701.0-2 The JasPer JPEG-2000 runtime libra ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libmysqlclient15off 5.0.32-7etch11 mysql database client library ii libnetcdf3 3.6.1-1 An interface for scientific data a ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-1+etch2 PNG library - runtime ii libpq4 8.1.18-0etch1 PostgreSQL C client library ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtiff4 3.8.2-7+etch3 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libungif4g 4.1.4-4 shared library for GIF images ii libxerces27 2.7.0-3 validating XML parser library for ii unixodbc 2.2.11-13 ODBC tools libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages libgdal1-1.3.2 recommends: ii proj 4.4.9d-2 Cartographic projection filter and -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
