Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.1-17 Severity: normal When I compile a binary statically which uses iconv(), and then deploy that binary on a glibc 2.2.5 machine, it fails:
albatross:/# /usr/local/bin/msgfmt -o de.gmo de.po /usr/local/bin/msgfmt: iconv failure: Argument list too long This, I believe, is because of some incompatible change in gconv. While the statically-compiled binary includes gconv() from glibc 2.3.1, the /usr/lib/gconv .so files are compiled against glibc 2.2.5. This indicates to me that some backwards-incompatible change has happened. This may or may not be desired behaviour; feel free to close this bug if this operation is intentionally unsupported. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux albatross 2.4.20 #3 Wed May 7 12:12:41 EDT 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libdb1-compat 2.1.3-7 The Berkeley database routines [gl -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
