Hi folks, sorry if this is too "non-technical", but ...
we're running "testing" (Kernel 2.4.21-4-386) on several machines and a recent upgrade caused us unexpected troubles with that "ld.so: Incorrectly built binary ..." message. We are using a custom-compiled qmail with qmail-pop3d plus getmail as a fetchmail-replacement (getmail is run in a very weird configuration that uses qmail-inject to deliver the emails since we have to forward some of the emails to remote systems as well) After the upgrade neither pop3 nor getmail worked liked before. Everything broke! >From several posts I can see that this obviously has to do with the "injected" error-message that is misinterpreted by several tools and clients. Maybe I'm wrong here (because I don't understand what changed [ie had to change] under the hood), but I simply expected, that (like in the past) after an upgrade our systems continue to work as before without tweaking a lot (or even recompiling applications that have been running flawlessly for years). A little configuration-work and tuning after an upgrade is OK, but is THIS really necessary? Plus: Did I overlook something or did that change just happen without any warning whatsoever? We caused a mail-flood in the night following the upgrade since I only saw that something is not working as expected in the morning! As an emergency reaction I downgraded libc6 to 2.3.2-9 with dpkg (which causes a lot of errors for apt, but at least the mail-system works again! I would really appreciate if anybody could tell me how to avoid those errors with 2.3.2ds1-10 (and up) without having to recompile applications! (from my point of view that error message should simply disappear - no matter how it is done! Apparently it worked without that message until a few days ago without any problem at all) Thank you in advance for any help you can offer! Best regards, Alexander BTW: We're about to roll out Backup Exec 9.1 and have to install the remote-agent on at least one of our debian machines. I guess I'll run into the same problems as others, right?
