Unfortnuately this has the affect of breaking the symbolic link for
/bin/sh and so many things, like apt-get update then fail.

Quick work arround is to ln bash as sh.

Bug#866102: calibre: Calibre-server fails to start with missing dependancy

Dear Maintainer,

I recently upgraded from calibre 2.75 to 3.1.1, after the upgrade
calibre-server would not run.

Appears there was a missing dependancy, fixed with

Bug#865816: calibre: The latest release of calibre is 3.1.1. could we get an update

2017-06-24 Thread dmm 
Package: calibre
Version: 2.75.1+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

The latest release of calibre is 3.1.1.
https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

Is there a reason why the unstable package is still 2.75?
I run the latest version on my windows machine, but the calibre-server
from my linux server. Fortunately this still works, but I worry I might
hit some inconsistancy in the database format etc.

Bug#790560: udev fails to start on sparc boot, breaking boot

2015-08-06 Thread dmm 
Richard Mortimer ri...@oldelvet.org.uk writes:

 So maybe the code is trying to use the wrong string as input to chdir
 and hence failing.

Is udev using the gold linker during build? I've been looking into a bug
where in certain circumstances, when linking with gold, string literal
function arguments are corrupted.

This problem was also breaking qt, specifically moc.

Bug#792033: qtbase-opensource-src: Gold linker breaks build on sparc

2015-07-10 Thread dmm 

Source: qtbase-opensource-src
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

The qtbase-opensource-src build is currently broken on sparc. While
investigating the bug describing this breakage, #773590, I found that
the actual code generated by gcc-4.9 is fine but the linker is
incorrectly arranging sting literal function arguments resulting in
garbage values being passed to functions.

The result is that moc doesn't produce any output files and doesn't
print correct diagnostic messages.

It appears to be specifically the gold linker that the ./configure
script selects by default that has the problem. If the bfd linker is
selected instead the build completes normally and the packages
generated work in my testing.

I'm working on a minimal testcase to report the gold bug but until
this is fixed it can be worked around by disabling gold on sparc at
configure time.

This patch is one way this could be done, it fixes the build on my
sparc system.
