Bug#425716: tdb-dev: Fails to open previous databases
Simply ignoring the field could discard active locks opened by older versions of TDB. I've submitted a patch for review upstream: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2007-August/054763.html -- Jelmer Vernooij [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://samba.org/~jelmer/ Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil

Hi,
The latest `libtdb' from SID fails to open databases created by the version
previously available in SID (whichever that was), i.e., `tdb_open ()' returns
NULL. This can be checked by simply running `tdbdump' on the database.
For your convenience, I've put a database that reproduces the problem on-line:

SHA1: c2c892e4e466092c74ffb923975056840ffcf43b
Thanks,
Ludovic.
The problem is because of the deactivated spinlock code. The following
patch seems to fix the problem, but I'm unable to understand the
consequences properly (e.g. on a system where things using the old tdb
library could still exist, and believe to have locked the tdb ...).

Hmm, I wouldn't know either. What do upstream people think? I've absolutely no idea, I'm not the maintainer, I just tried to track down this Release Critical issue, nothing more. I hope tdb's maintainer will deal with this now that the whereabouts are known. Meanwhile, you can downgrade your libtdb1 to etch one, and it will work again. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O[EMAIL PROTECTED] OOOhttp://www.madism.org pgpxRprHjwiEZ.pgp Description: PGP signature
