Bug#721142: sam2p: Program always exits with the same error, not working at all.
I have found one thing: it never happends on amd64, and always happen on i386. Recompiling it works, but changes nothing. Now I am at a loss, however… -- ,--. : /` ) Tanguy Ortolo xmpp:tan...@ortolo.eu | `-'Debian Developer irc://irc.oftc.net/Tanguy \_ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Package: sam2p Version: 0.49.1-2 Severity: grave Hello, sam2p program does not seem to work any more. Regardless of the input parameters on the command line it will always break with the same error message, it should be easy to reproduce on any machine. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? prompt sam2p test.jpg test.eps * What was the outcome of this action? prompt sam2p test.jpg test.eps This is sam2p 0.49.1.

Regardless of the input parameters on the command line it will always break with the same error message, it should be easy to reproduce on any machine. Well, not here. Can you provide me with an example of an image that leads to that error? Suggested fix: The version from wheezy (0.49.1-1) is working as expected. The error seems to be introduced in the testing (jessie) distribution (0.49.1-2). This is not a fix. The difference between 0.49.1-1 and 0.49.1-2 are: * 0.49.1-1 does not compile with GCC 4.8, which is the compiler in Jessie; * 0.49.1-2 is patched so it compiles with GCC 4.8. So, there is no real difference in the code except fixes, and 0.49.1-1 cannot be built with Jessie.

Hello, Well, not here. Can you provide me with an example of an image that leads to that error? It does not depend on the image, it does this regardless of the input. I have seen the patches applied and I cannot explain why they should change the behaviour of this program so much. The error is consistent on two machines that I tried. If ldd output is of any help: prompt ldd /usr/bin/sam2p linux-gate.so.1 (0xb77cc000) libc.so.6 = /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7583000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77cd000) I will try to narrow the bug down later this evening. thanks and cheers, Kristijan

Same here, reversed: whatever image I use, I do not get this error on the two machines I tried! :-) I will try to narrow the bug down later this evening. Do you have the sam2p's recommends installed? -- ,--. : /` ) Tanguy Ortolo xmpp:tan...@ortolo.eu | `-'Debian Developer irc://irc.oftc.net/Tanguy \_ signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#721142: sam2p: Program always exits with the same error, not working at all.
I created a fresh debian installation in a virtual machine (VirtualBox) using the daily netinst image from here: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso . The problem was reproducable immediately. As a test image I used a picture of Tux from wikipedia: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Tux.png After downgrading the package (apt-get --purge remove sam2p apt-get -t wheezy install sam2p) the program worked. Upgrading it (apt-get --purge remove sam2p apt-get install sam2p) broke it again. I can post a dropbox link to a VirtualBox image with my virtual machine later (upload of an 400MB file is slow with dropbox). I did nothing fancy within the virtual machine. Just a standard, minimal installation (no gui or anything), only added link to wheezy repository in the sources.list in order to test the older version. Do you have the sam2p's recommends installed? Yes, I have (netpbm and libjpeg-progs) cheers, Kristijan

Here is the link to the VirtualBox image: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7978838/sam2ptest.ova Size is around 400MB. I used the Import/Export Appliance feature in the VirtualBox user interface. cheers, Kristijan
