tripwire now segfaults when it tries to read information about a file. Rebuilding the package from source makes the problem go away. The problem appeared to start after the libc6 update to 2.32. I suspect this is because tripwire is statically linked, and there are known issues with static linking with libc6 across version releases because the internal API to nsswitch modules changes. This is consistent with the pattern of segfaults, since it appears to happen around the point where tripwire would try to resolve a numeric UID or GID to a name. If this is correct, a binNMU against the latest libc6 should fix the problem. I have tested this by rebuilding the source package with no changes in a sid chroot and confirmed the resulting package works correctly. nmu tripwire_2.4.3.7-3 . ANY . unstable . -m "Rebuild with libc6 2.32"
