Package: libgdbm6 Version: 1.18-2 Severity: grave X-Debbugs-Cc: p...@packages.debian.org, libmarc-charset-p...@packages.debian.org
The libgdbm6 transition broke autopkgtest checks of src:perl and libmarc-charset-perl. It looks like some GDBM databases which were working with the older gdbm are not readable any more with the new one. # file /usr/lib/libmarc-charset-perl/Table /usr/lib/libmarc-charset-perl/Table: GNU dbm 1.x or ndbm database, little endian, old # gdbm_dump /usr/lib/libmarc-charset-perl/Table gdbm_dump: gdbm_open failed: Malformed database file header Similarly for the test data that gets used in src:perl autopkgtest checks: # gdbm_dump debian/tests/data/jessie.gdbm gdbm_dump: gdbm_open failed: Malformed database file header For reference, the output with libgdbm5 1.14.1-6+b1 is % gdbm_dump debian/tests/data/jessie.gdbm # GDBM dump file created by GDBM version 1.14.1. 03/01/2018 on Sat Oct 13 13:15:59 2018 #:version=1.0 #:file=debian/tests/data/jessie.gdbm #:uid=1000,user=niko,gid=1000,group=niko,mode=644 # End of header #:len=3 Zm9v #:len=9 amVzc2llIE9L #:count=1 # End of data -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
