Hello, The problem I experimented in running dpkg 1.4.0.22 (it hangs) seems to come from dynamic library handling. In fact, I see the same behavior with paperconf (from the libpaper 1.0.3-9 package I just compiled). Both programs are linked with local dynamic libraries (libdpkg & libpaper). When I relink them with their static counterpart, they work.
IMO, either the dynamic loader misinterprets some symbol bindings or the linker emits bad bindings. I'm using binutils 2.8.1.0.23-0.1 gcc 2.7.2.3-3 or egcc 2.0.97-0.6 libc6 2.0.92-980301-1 kernel 2.0.33 PS: I've just built ldso 1.9.8-1. Now it fails to run libc5 binaries: all of them hang. I reverted back to the current 1.9.6-2.0.1. Anyone experienced similar problems in compiling packages which provide their own libraries ? The bug could come from binutils, so is there new binutils available ? (I saw an announce about 2.9.1 release, anybody packaged it ?).
