Bug#997933: offlineimap3: 'int' object is not subscriptable when connecting to outlook.office365.com

I suspect perhaps a change in some python package?
When this first showed up, it was nondeterministic: it looked like some
sort of time out of, presumably some state somewhere.
But now it seems to be pretty solid.

Of course, MS maybe have messed up their IMAP  server.

Well, I have been copying most of this thread to a debian bug, so
I trust the Debian maintainer will pick it up soon.

I once knew a little about packaging and built a few deb packages
for my own purposes, so I could probably manage to get this working
with enough time. Needless to say, I don't have that time now :-)

As I needed a working scanner immediately, I have now scanned my
documents using an older version of xsane which was already installed
on devuan live image.

Thanks for the help. I will keep watching this thread.

I tried this but I still have xsane Version: 0.999-12 so there was no
change. I couldn't find a newer version of xsane, even in Ubuntu.
Indeed in the Ubuntu pool that I checked, the xsane directory was empty.

xscanimage also seg faulted as before.

Just to report further: I tried to install the ubuntu libjpeg8
libjpeg8_8c-2ubuntu8_amd64.deb,
but then hit further problems:
libjpeg8:amd64 depends on libjpeg-turbo8

I then added libjpeg-turbo8_2.0.6-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
but then:
error processing archive libjpeg-turbo8_2.0.6-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing libjpeg-turbo8:amd64

It seems that debian has instead:
libturbojpeg0

So Ubuntu and debian seem to be using different package names. I could
probably sort all this out if I had the time to refresh my memory
about packaging. But is does not seem to be straight forward to
use the Ubuntu packages in Debian.

Meanwhile, I will get my scanner out and retest: despite the broken
packages, I think there is a chance that it might now work.

Bug#993350: Also broken on Perfection 1640

2021-10-04 Thread ael
I too am seeing this problem on my Perfection 1640SU.
Pressing the acquire preview gives the message
"Failed to start scanner: Operation not supported".

This on Debian testing.

Now on the Advanced Options window, there is an
Autofocus button. I have deactivated it. I am pretty certain that this
model has no autofocus mechanism.

There  is also a Focus position bar. Again, I don't think this model
has any way to implement that. So I suspect that the "Operation
not supported" is to adjust the focus.

The old xsane (I probably mean the epson backend) just showed two
settings: "Focus on glass" or "Focus on film". That is from memory,
but something close to that. SO perhaps this old model had just
a binary switch for two focus positions, and the epson backend
has been broken by assuming that this model has more focus facilities.

So far this is pure speculation on my part.

I used the simplest defaults I think.

In my history I just have

I used
./maptool --protobuf -i 
/ssdback1/ael/mapping/mkgmap/great-britain-latest.osm.pbf test.bin
inside my local navit_build directory where I compiled maptool.

Many warnings and such scrolled past on the screen which were too fast to
read, but I think were just reporting inconsistent or expected tagging 
in places. I did not bother to pipe through less to check all of that
so maybe the could have been assertion failures if they did not prevent
final completion.

It looks as if the last commit on git when I last pulled was

I hope to do that as soon as I have time. Just now sorting out wince

? Er, Um, different instruction sets! So no. But I was using the Debian
maptool to produce a map for use on wince.

Well, I downloaded that pbf file a few weeks ago before I knew about
the wince problem - I used it with mkgmap to successfully produce a Garmin map.
So I had no reason to record where I found it. But I may be able to
work out from whence it came.

As I noted above, I am planning to try that when I have time which will
be after I have the navit/wince problem resolved. I hope not more than a
day or two. If the new version works - which I expect to be OK if it is
just a version from the git repository - maybe there is no reason to
spend much time diagnosing the old version. This bug report should be
enough to alert anyone who hits tha same bug to upgrade.

Package: maptool
Version: 0.5.3+dfsg.1-2+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Trying to use maptool with a .pbf file gave a segfault almost
immediately. Compiling my own maptool directly from the navit git
gave a working version. 

This was encountered while looking at the issues with navit on wince:
see https://github.com/navit-gps/navit/issues/953#issuecomment-578313710

Search down that page to see the problem with the Debian testing
maptool:

maptool --protobuf -i
/ssdback1/ael/mapping/mkgmap/great-britain-latest.osm.pbf test.bin

but that SEGFAULTED almost immediately after writing some empty *.tmp
files. gdb
shows

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x55c63a68cf30 in osmpbf.blob_header.init ()

I see that there is a new version in unstable but I have not tried that
version as yet.

Bug#861474: Removing slim fixes the problem

2017-04-30 Thread ael
Removing the slim package solves the problem, so slim seems to be the
culprit.



Bug#861474: slim: Session restarts in a loop renedering whole system useless.

2017-04-29 Thread ael
Package: slim
Version: 1.3.6-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

I am not sure that this is a slim problem, but as the system is almost
unusable, I cannot investigate.

After an apt-get upgrade earlier today, the system presents a new slim
login page. Logging in works, but then the whole system restarts X
(presumably) and the sylim login prompt appear again. This ahhpens in
what seems to be an infinite loop, roughly every minute or so.

I am only able to compose this message outside X using a pseudo
terminal. The restarts interrupt the terminal and represents the slim
login page. Fortunately the terminal context is retained so I can switch
back to the terminal.

I have not yet tried removing slim which I hope I may be able to do
despite the constant restarts.

I suspect slim because it seems to be the only likely candidate in the
set of upgrades earlier today, and it is the slim login screen which
keeps looping.

Presumably others will report this problem as well.

  I had to select the sysvinit option from the grub menu in order to

  the default target was set to
  default.target - /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target

 If X hangs, what makes you sure systemd is at fault?

X runs when booted via sysvinit. I have subsequently discovered that I
cannot shutdown that machine. It reports something like the
shutdown.service did not complete (with timeout). I think I know why
that happened, *but* to refuse to umount the filesystem and stop all
processes to allow a safe manual power off is a major flaw. I had to
just cut power after manually unmounting the few mounts that it would
permit.

That whole machine is now is a complete mess, and I am not sure that I
will be able to recover to try to provide the reports you request
without a lot of time and effort. I will be away from the machine for
about 1 month in a day or so, so such a report may be delayed.

Another (amd64) machine has also stopped booting properly after the
latest updates. At least it gets as far as emergency mode. That too seems
to be a systemd problem.

Back to the i386 machine, the target in this report:  when I tried to
apt-get upgrade in case the bug had been fixed, it hung on systemd
because udev could not be upgraded. The udev refusal to upgrade came
with a message from dpkg about a group 'Input' already existing.
This from memory: so the details may not be correct. As I say that
system is messed up so I can't easily check those details for now.

Thanks for the reply.


 Please provide a verbose debug log of systemd.
 Add systemd.log_level=debug systemd.debug-shell to the kernel command
 line. You should get a debug shell on tty9, which you can use to inspect
 the system.
 Please attach the output of
 journalctl -alb

Bug#651601: josm broken under xfce

2011-12-10 Thread ael
Package: josm
Version: 0.0.svn4487+dfsg2-2
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Please see josm.openstreetmap.de tickets #5833 and #7066.

josm is no longer usable under xfce4. Window decoration missing, 
child windows misbehave and make data entry almost impossible.
One worked round, data seems not to be handled correctly.

I think josm-latest was last working in mid October.

Bug#644205: gdb backtrace

I was unable to build from source with nopt and nostrip to help
with gdb.

However, using just cups-dbg, I have this gdb session:-
--
# gdb lpinfo

It seems then that the switch statement in httpStatus in http-support.c
needs at least one extra branch for HTTP_ERROR. 

I suppose that I need to examine request.c next to try to understand
how the error arises.

Bug#644205: http-support.c httpStatus problem...

2011-10-11 Thread ael
I decided to try to understand what is wrong with:

# lpinfo -m
lpinfo: Unknown

as it looked as if it might be simpler to debug. In particular, I
needed to know where this useless message Unknown originated.

To that end, I installed source and greped, found the likely 
candidate, modified the string and recompiled.

Thus I confirm that the message comes from http-support.c, line 1340
which is the default clause in a switch statement:


httpStatus(http_status_t status)/* I - HTTP status code */
{
  const char*s;g */
  _cups_globals_t *cg = _cupsGlobals();/* Global data */


cg-lang_default = cupsLangDefault();

  switch (status)

Bug#644205: Severity increased. Reinstallation compounds problem..

2011-10-08 Thread ael
I have changed the severity to grave since this problem
completely disables printing via cups.

I tried purging and then reinstalling the packages:
cups-drivers-gutenprint
cups
cups-bsd
cups-client
cups-common
ghostscript-cups  and
cups-ppdc.

Using the localhost web admin page, there are no printers installed
as expected. Trying to create a printer, cups reports that it can find
no printer drivers! This despite cups-drivers-gutenprint being installed
and claiming to support the Brother-HL-1250 which was the target.

ISTR that before I could select my printer model from a list. Now it
looks as if that is somehow autodetected (which is presumably failing),
unless the abscence of the list is just another manifestation of the bug or
bugs.

lpinfo -m is most unhelpful:

# lpinfo -m
lpinfo: Unknown

I have attached a file of the output of lpinfo -m running under strace

Bug#567003: firestarter does not install properly?

2010-01-26 Thread ael
Package: firestarter
Version: 1.0.3-8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

-

Installing firefighter from aptitude:-
===
Unpacking firestarter (from .../firestarter_1.0.3-8_i386.deb) ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Processing triggers for menu ...
Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ...
Setting up firestarter (1.0.3-8) ...

update-rc.d: warning: firestarter stop runlevel arguments (none) do not match 
LSB Default-Stop values (0 1 6)
Processing triggers for menu ...
Press return to continue.


I am not sure if those warnings above from update-rc.d are relevant to
the bug.

Attempting to run firestarter (from a root terminal) for the first time:
gave:-
---
# firestarter 

(firestarter:3425): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols 
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
--

Next I tried 
# /etc/init.d/firestarter 
# /etc/init.d/firestarter help
# /etc/init.d/firestarter status
# /etc/init.d/firestarter start
In each case, nothing happened. So I inspected the script
and found

FS_CONTROL=/etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh

[ -x /usr/sbin/firestarter ] || exit 0
[ -x $FS_CONTROL ] || exit 0

so I looked :-
~# ls -l /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh
ls: cannot access /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh: No such file or directory



So /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh was not present. Nor was it listed
under dpkg -L firestarter.

Also
# ls -l /etc/firestarter/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 567 2009-08-15 13:08 non-routables
Is there not supposed to be a configuration file there as well? But perhaps
not until the first run?

Anyway, as my first attempt to install firestarter, it fails completely.

In passing, I am using xfce, but I understand that firestarter should run
Ok in this environment.

Bug#549312: Looks as if this only occurs with more than 1 dvd

2010-01-19 Thread ael
This bug is still present on all my machines including on a netbook
with a freshly installed squeeze.

However, I am fairly sure that it only occurs when multiple dvds
need to be mounted (necessarily sequentially, since there is only
a single mount point). It is as if the path to the deb on the earlier
dvds is cached somewhere: the dvd is changed, and when that cached path
is used later, it is, of course, no longer valid.

This bug would seem to make debian installation from multiple DVDs
nearly impossible: so pretty serious for those without high
bandwidth connections.

Bug#548434: [Fdutils] Cannot format floppies under kernel 2.6.*?

2009-12-19 Thread ael
For the record, after replacing drives *and* cables, the problem 
persists. I can only assume that it is the controller after all :-(

I think I will live without a floppy on that particular box.

2009-12-15 Thread ael

Alain Knaff wrote:


Could you try the same with a higher repetition count:

fdrawcmd readid 0 repeat=40

Just to make sure that eventually all sectors show up

Also, on your case, the actual read error seems to be on track 0. Could you
give me also the headers of track 0?


Have to go out for an hour or more, so can't report immediately.

I know that doesn't really help in tracking things down... :-(

About to run with repeat=40. I have only just downloaded the data sheet

[..snip..]


Weird.

If you suspect a compiler bug, 



No, not really. I was just grasping at straws trying to think what could 
vary among distributions if they are all using the same source code. I 
guess almost anything non-deterministic *might* show in different 
distributions. On the other hand, one of my machines seems to have 
mended itself - at least it worked on a single test 2 days ago - so 
that might fit again with some non determinism around timing.


Anyhow, I wasting time because this sort of speculation isn't likely to 
help find the bug

Yes. All sectors are there, ... so I wonder why you are getting errors.


So, next round of tests: trying to read these sectors:

fdrawcmd recalibrate 0
fdrawcmd read 0  0 0 1 2 18 1 1  length=18432 /dev/null


# fdrawcmd recalibrate 0
0: 20
1: 0
no disk change

# fdrawcmd read 0  0 0 1 2 18 1 1  length=18432 /dev/null
remaining= 17920
0: 40
1: 20
2: 20
3: 0
4: 0
5: 1
6: 2
no disk change



A CRC error both in the header (1: 20) and in the data of the sector (2: 20)

It begins to look more and more like a hardware problem, at least in
your case...


I am pretty confident that I had ruled out hardware. I haven't tried the 
 formatting floppies in my amd64 debian testing box for a while, but 
that was showing exactly the same problem. Maybe if I can test that 
again tomorrow if necessary. But the Mark said he was seeing something 
very similar: we can't both have the same hardware problems on multiple 
machines?

2.6.28 was when support for sector bases other than 0 or 1 were
introduced. So, rather than have sectors numbered from 1 to 18, you can
now have sectors numbered from 129 to 146 (as is used by some of the
more exotic CP/M formats). This info is stored in some previously unused
bits of the stretch parameter.

Could it be that on some distributions, something is setting this to
some spurious value (which got ignored before 2.6.28, but from 2.6.28
got misinterpreted as a non-zero sector base).

Could you try to:


The first thing I have to report is that I started by checking fdformat 
on /dev/fd0 in the usual way to confirm that the bug was still present.
This is on debian testing updated daily so many packages are updated 
freqently. To my surprise, fdformat worked without problems on one i386 
machine, but failed in the usual way on another.
My next message will report the results of Alain's test on the failing 
machine.

Could you try to:

fdformat /dev/fd0u1440

in case you don't have /dev/fd0u1440, you can create it using the
following command line:

mknod /dev/fd0u1440 b 2 28

then do a  getfdprm -o /dev/fd0u1440 (or getfdprm /dev/fd0)

You should get:

2880 18 2 80 0 0x1b 0x00 0xcf 0x6c

The fifth byte (0 here) is the stretch byte. If it contains anything
other than 0, this might explain it.

Another test would be to perform:

fdrawcmd readid 0 repeat=18


Here are my results to complement Mark's. Unfortunately fdrawcmd would 
not run here, perhaps because I have different a different floppy 
controller. Or maybe I have a different version and am not giving it the 
right parameters.

Yes. I tried all the obvious things. The man/info page for fdrawcmd 
wasn't very clear on exactly what was accepted, so I tried several 
options. All with the same result. And now Mark has just the same under 
2.6.28 vanilla.


I guess all these are further clues...

Any point in running under strace? Or gdb (not sure whether I have a 
debug version around...)?

Well, at least we now that it is indeed the rawcmd ioctl that gets the
error (rather than some other system call), and this is interesting
information.

Could you also check whether anything interesting got output by the kernel
(dmesg) during the fdrawcmd attempt?


No. I checked that. Nothing in any of the logs in /var/log/

Bug#548434: Also reported in Suse

2009-12-12 Thread ael
Just a note for anyone who comes across this report: it seems that
the problem is also occurs on SuSE, 10.3-11.2 -
Any kernel at or above 2.6.28 fails to fdformat a floppy.

That has been reported on the fdutils list and now there is a thread on 
the kernel mailing list.

Bug#548434: superformat (hd)

2009-12-05 Thread ael
I should probably add

# superformat /dev/fd0 hd
Measuring drive 0's raw capacity
In order to avoid this time consuming measurement in the future,
add the following line to /etc/driveprm:
drive0: deviation=71992
CAUTION: The line is drive and controller specific, so it should be
removed before installing a new drive 0 or floppy controller.

Not enough raw space on this disk for this format

Bug#548434: superformat result

2009-12-05 Thread ael
I just retested fdformat and superformat on one of the machines 
with current testing and kernel 2.6.32 .

fdformat fails in usual way as previously reported.

superformat also fails, but maybe this result gives a clue:-


# superformat /dev/fd0
Measuring drive 0's raw capacity
In order to avoid this time consuming measurement in the future,
add the following line to /etc/driveprm:
drive0: deviation=81832
CAUTION: The line is drive and controller specific, so it should be
removed before installing a new drive 0 or floppy controller.

Not enough raw space on this disk for this format

#  cat /etc/fdprm 
/dev/fd0 hd
-
These tests were done on an already formatted floppy: formatted by
fdformat under an old redhat system.

Thereis, of course, an strace on superformat above, although that run
was a while ago, and produced slightly different results.

Bug#548434: ftutils so util-linux?

2009-12-03 Thread ael


 I tested both fdformat and superformat (from fdutils 5.5-20060227-3,
 and then also from 20081027)  with kernel 2.6.32-rc6 and  on Kubuntu
 9.04, and both worked fine. Could it be a bad drive or a bad disk?

No. I have used several known good discs and on several (4 actually) 
machines with known good drives. And I can format the same discs on an 
old redhat machine. So I am convinced that it isn't hardware: media or 
drive. Also I can read and write onto previously formatted discs (with 
file systems), so again that make drive problems unlikely.


I said (but forgot later) in one of my first reports that a member of my 
local LUG had tested on Gentoo and had no problems with the same kernel.


It seems to be something specific to Debian which is extremely odd, 
given you have tested on ubuntu.

Sorry. I think I should have posted more about that, but the report was 
so long already that I held back.


I subsequently discovered that gfloppy was lying. It turned out that 
the format had not succeeded after all. It was just that gfloppy did not 
not always report the error. Thereafter it was possible to build a file 
system, ext2 IIRC, but when it was used CRC errors appeared.



This is indeed very useful information, sorry to have not spotted this
earlier. Double density disks cannot be formatted as high density. Not only
because of the higher surface quality of HD disks, but more importantly
because the presence or not of the density select hole switches the _drive_
into the appropriate mode.


Yes, I realise that, although I had forgotten the details. The discs are
quite certainly HD with the holes open. As I say, I can read and write
on to previously formatted discs, so I think that shows that the hole 
and leds in the drives are all working correctly. Agreed?


My experiments with dd and the like was just to see what would happen


If both disagree, formatting will fail.


I wonder if somehow the formatting software is always going into dd mode?

[..snip..]




verify to around track 73.


This now is probably due to poor quality of disk (maybe due to age?). It's
mostly the higher tracks that fail, because on them the spatial density is
highest (these are the innermost tracks, thus shorter, but they still
contain the same amount of data = more bits crammed into less surface).


I have tried maybe 4 different discs, one brand new. I think all of the 
other discs were previously working. My initial suspicions were all 
around the media, and I did a lot of experiments on different machines 
with different media before deciding it had to be software.


Just to make absolutely certain, I have just booted up the old redhat 
machine and successfully formatted and verified one of the failing 
discs. (fdformat.) So, no, I don't think media problems exist.


Thanks for the reply. I am still mystified. Could I somehow, somewhere, 
in 3 debian testing machines have some common configuration file wrong? 
Weird, very weird.

Neither file exists on this machine which I am using for mail ATM - and 
which has the problem. (Or did when I last tried - must try again given 
testing has evolved.)


I was also explicit about the disk parameters in most of the tests.
Of course, if debian has mapped HD to the wrong values, that might 
explain everything. At the time, I couldn't find the lower level values 
to check. It did have tracks/sectors right, but there is much more 
involved in formatting, I know.

Bug#548434: ftutils so util-linux?

2009-11-10 Thread ael
I tried to format one of the floppies using gfloppy. This also failed
to verify, but managed to get past several tracks, unlike fdformat.

I tried setting the density to dd instead of hd -- something that I
had also tried on fdformat without success. gfloppy managed to 
verify to around track 73. I tried installing a dos filesystem despite
the verification errors, and it seemed to work.

I then tried fdformat, having used setfdprm to set hd. This time it worked
and passed verification. Badblocks also ran without error.

I am not sure what to make of all of this, but I wonder if my initial
attempts to format with fdformat without checking that the density was
set to hd may have written some dense data to the floppy (well, several
floppies) which caused problems later.

Whatever the case, it does suggest that the problem may be with fdformat
with is in util-linux rather than fdutils. So perhaps this report should
be re-assigned?

Thus it appears the superformat is also broken, so fdutils is involved after

This under kernel 2.6.32-rc6. Has the floppy API been changed, perhaps?

Bug#549312: aptitude 0.4.11.11 does not build

2009-11-03 Thread ael
In my continuing attempts to pin this bug, I have rebuilt dpkg and apt
from sources with nostrip, but aptitude-0.4.11.11 does not rebuild
on current testing. I guess I could try 0.6.1-1 from sid or maybe 
aptitude-dbg.

It seems as if apt-get no longer has problems installing from /dvd - I
haven't done enough testing to be sure - so I speculate that it may be some
synchronisation problem between aptitude, the cdrom method and dpkg. Hence my
attempt to get an aptitude with symbols running under gdb.

Any advice from the people who know the code?

Bug#549312: Running aptitude under gdb

2009-11-03 Thread ael
Running aptitude (aptitude-dbg installed) under gdb gives no error:
the files from /dvd are read correctly. Which suggests a race?

The test run was using both apt and dpkg locally built with nostrip noopt.

Source: aptitude (0.4.11.11-1)
Version: 0.4.11.11-1+b2

Package: aptitude-dbg
Version: 0.4.11.11-1+b2

Package: apt
Version: 0.7.23.1

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.4.1

Summary:

There remains a bug on several machines here which prevents
aptitude from installing from /dvd, whether loop mounted iso images or
real dvds. It is unclear which program is responsible but smells (to me)
like some sort of race/synchronisation problem between the processes
involved. Problem evaporates when running under gdb.

The original segfault may or may not have been related, but has not occured
for several weeks. Inspection of the /var/log/dpkg.logs shows that several
of the relevant packages have been upgraded at least once since the segfaults
appeared. These machines are normally updated to current testing daily.
The dvds are updated to current jigo images every week or two, but as
testing jigdos are often broken or missing, they are not always current. 
Hence there can be long periods when the dvds are not used, so it is not
easy to correlate the last segfault with any particular package update.

in a file under /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/

I also tried running /usr/lib/apt/methods/cdrom
under gdb but was unclear whether arguments (I tried full-upgrade)
were needed and how the return was handled.

So far I have not managed to triger the segfault, although I am still
seeing errors from aptitude when it uses cdrom to read dvds.

Also I have not seen any extra errors reported via Debug::Acquire::cdrom -
I am not sure where they should appear. Just to stderr, and/or somewhere in
/var/log/?

I see references to Udev in the source code and note that the recent udev
rules do not always identify cdroms and dvds correctly (bug reported).
But I think the apt dvd segfault predates that change, so perhaps no 
connection, although even then a segfault obviously isn't exactly
desirable :-(

Bug#549312: segfault from apt cdrom method

2009-10-29 Thread ael
I have now built apt-0.7.23.1 from source with symbols 
(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip noopt) on another i386 machine which was 
segfaulting. I installed the resulting apt_0.7.23.1_i386.deb (which 
involved a downgrade on this testing machine).


Debug::Acquire::cdrom true; was turned on.

I then ran aptitude with an /etc/apt/sources.list with just the dvd 
entries and installed some octave packages. I attached to the 
/usr/lib/apt/cdrom process with gdb before inserting the dvd's requested.


No segfaults, and gdb reported no problems although it (gdb) did not
report termination, even after the cdrom method was no longer shown on 
htop (a variant of top):


(gdb) c
Continuing.
^C
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

So no apparent bugs in cdrom. *However* aptitude did report problems, as 
for example:-



dpkg: error processing

/dvd//pool/main/s/suitesparse/libcholmod1.7.1_3.4.0-1_i386.deb (--unpack):


which seem to be coming from dpkg. (I see similar failures on other 
machines).


The mystery deepens. I have not seen segfaults recently (last in logs on 
 Oct 18) but the apt/aptitude/dpkg system still has problems accessing 
the dvd (whether a real dvd drive or an iso image loop mounted on /dvd).

Obviously the iso images have been checked.

I have never seen problems with dpkg -i /dev/pool/blah/whatever/* when I 
have manually mounted the disc or loopmounted-file on /dvd.


All small clues to a bug hiding somewhere in there.

I could try building the source without noopt, but it doesn't look 
like that will bring back the segfault.


I always have great problems working out when my packages were updated
which makes it hard to see what changed when that might have a bearing 
on these problems. (One thing rpm gets right...) I just look at 
/var/log/aptitude | ../apt/ logs: is there a better way?


Summary: looks like the bug is still present, but has manifested in a
surprisingly different form probably with an package update yet to be 
identified. The fact the cdrom-method segfaulted is clearly an issue

although it looks like it will be harder to reproduce than I had hoped.
And there is another presumbly related bug present as well

Bug#549312: apt-0.7.21

2009-10-29 Thread ael
I collected apt-0.7.21 from http://bzr.debian.org/apt/debian-sid/ and built
the package with nostrip noopts and installed (dpkg -i apt_0.7.21_i386.deb).

But now I have unmet dependencies
 apt-utils: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.9-6-4.8
  aptitude: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.9-6-4.8

which stops me running aptitude or apt-get. It will take me a while to
work out how to get those things installed, I suspect...

  You'll probably have better luck if you debug /usr/lib/cdrom instead
of aptitude. :)  I don't know if that'll help much, though; it doesn't
have debugging symbols built in.


I guess that will be /usr/lib/apt/methods/cdrom :

$ ls -l /usr/lib/cdrom
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/cdrom: No such file or directory

I suppose that all I can do is get the source and see if I can rebuild 
with symbols. Just need the time :-(


Why has no one else seen this when it has been happening on all my 
machines for some time? Maybe use of DVDs is rare these days: I use 
jigdo to avoid multiple downloads with added advantage of 
backup/reinstall/new install media always to hand.

Bug#549312: aptitude: cdrom segfaults on several machines and architectures when reading DVDs

2009-10-02 Thread ael
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1+b2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


For over a month now (presumably since the last aptitude upgrade on testing)
I have been seeing segfaults recorded in /var/log/messages on two i386 boxes
and on an amd64, all running testing.

I have not reported earlier because I hoped to get some useful info using gdb.
My first attempts with gdb have failed to catch the segfault whether using
aptitude, aptitude-dbg or directly attaching to the cdrom process spawned by 
aptitude.

1) An entry in /var/log/messages:

Oct  2 10:48:44 conquest3 kernel: cdrom[4987]: segfault at 200 ip b807b71d sp bf
a34890 error 4 in ld-2.9.so[b8068000+1c000]

cee290 error 4 in ld-2.9.so[b7fe5000+1c000]

a96ac0 error 4 in ld-2.9.so[b8056000+1c000]

2) These are written somewhere around when aptitude prompts for a DVD  one is 
inserted as in

Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux testing 
_Squeeze_ - Official Snapshot i386 DVD Binary-1 20090921-05:51' in the drive 
'/dvd/' and press [Enter].

3) aptitude will typically read many of the files from the dvd correctly, but
then report an error on at least one of the package files.

4) Obviously I have checked the DVDs and associated hardware. In any case
it is happening on several machines with different drives and media.

The best I have managed with gdb so far is this sort of thing:-

---

Ok. Maybe this bug is now just a reference to that one.

In ekiga v3 you can contact people in your network (LAN), through avahi. 


Ok. That explains the reserved 192.168.*.* local address.

 According to my limited ekiga knowledge, ekiga v3 starts registration 
on all the interfaces.  However, the SIP server should have retained 
only one (again, I might be wrong, I do not know much of SIP).


I *think* sipgate are using asterisk, maybe modified, but I am not sure.
As far as I can tell, sipgate calls are working (echo tests ok), so 
maybe it is harmless.


So what is bug now?  Is it that upon changing version, ekiga should be 
started twice?


As above, I think it is just a reference to the upstream bug. Perhaps it 
should stay open until the upstream bug is closed?

Bug#538738: ekiga: Can not register (timeout) on 3.2.1~git20090515.9d0263-1

2009-07-26 Thread ael
Package: ekiga
Version: 3.2.1~git20090515.9d0263-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Ekiga 3.2.1 cannot register with my several sip providers.
The accounts window shows: Could not register (Timeout)

Using another machine running ekiga 2.0.11 IIRC on the same network and so
behind the same router/firewall, all is well.

Previous versions of ekiga on the machine now running 3.2.1 also worked 
properly.  The sip servers failing are ekiga, sipgate and voip. All of this
seems to strongly suggest a 3.2.1 problem.

Here is an extract from a -d4 debug output:
