You need to load the core file, *and* the program. Something like...
$ gdb -c $corefile $path_to_program

 The nss-ubdns module for the glibc NSS (Name Service Switch) interface returns

Bug#647060: ITP: openscad-mcad -- library for the OpenSCAD 3D modeling software

2011-10-29 Thread chrysn
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: chrysn 

* Package name: openscad-mcad
  Version : 0 (unreleased yet)
  Upstream Author : quite a bunch
* URL : http://reprap.org/wiki/MCAD
* License : LGPL2.1 (and some more)
  Programming Lang: OpenSCAD
  Description : library for the OpenSCAD 3D modeling software

 The MCAD library is a collection of modules and functions for OpenSCAD. It
 contains boxes, gears, screws, and several generic shapes.
 .
 The library is a kind of a standard library for OpenSCAD.

the package is technically ready, but quite a mess on the copyright
side; plus, upstream has not yet decided how to do releases. i'm
packaging it anyway as it will be included in the next openscad release
(itp bug 583476), and i stripped it out in favor of a Recommends: to
openscad-mcad.

with copyright, there are several issues:

* the "base library" (the library is really just a collection of useful
  files) doesn't clearly state an author. (although it can be deduced
  from git logs and package website.)

* some files don't mention original copyright holders (constants.scad,
  math.scad). i'd be tempted to attribute them to the base library
  author, but then why should they use another license? (plus, the base
  library author's other files are cleanly labelled.)

  it could be argued that they don't reach the required threshold of
  originality, but i'd have to ask -legal about the implications of
  that.

* some files don't mention licenses, just copyright (polyholes.scad,
  teardrop.scad).

* some files mention incomplete licenses ("Creative Commons" is not a
  license (involute_gears.scad), neither is "BSD" (boxes.scad), and
  neither "public domain" (at least where i live, but at least it is
  clear what the author means; trochoids.scad))

for the time being, a basic package is uploaded at debian mentors[1].

You don't.  The files in /usr/lib/debug contain only debugging symbols
that have been stripped from the normal binary.  You simply link against
libc6 as normal and gdb (and other programs) will find the debugging
symbols automatically.

Upstream Author: Arnout Engelen 
URL: http://notion.sf.net
License: LGPL with addition trademark provisions
Description: Tiling, tabbed window manager for the X window system
 Notion divides the screen into tiles and places windows in these tiles
 by default.  Each tile has a set of tabs for the windows within it.
 It also allows windows to be made 'floating' and placed freely.  Notion
 can be controlled through the keyboard alone or together with a mouse.

 Notion can be configured and extended using the Lua language.  It also
 supports extension modules written in C.

'Notion' is a fork of Ion3, which was previously in Debian but was removed
due to a dead upstream. The Ion license may or may not be DFSG-free, for
now we should probably just put the package in non-free. For details see

The "at exit" bit reminds me of a bug the FFADO team has been hunting
for months.

Feel free to have a rather lengthy read of

   http://subversion.ffado.org/ticket/329

If you're using custom exit functions, this might give you some
directions.

I don't think it's really something in the pthread library, but this

segfault error 4 in libpthread-2.13.so X86_64

2011-10-29 Thread Dallas Clement
Hi All,

I've got a multi-threaded C++ program that has been working for years
that is segfaulting in the pthread library at exit after upgrading to
squeeze.  It litters my kernel log with the following message:

segfault at 67eaf9d0 ip 7f4568e87d7c sp 7fff4571fe00 error 4
in libpthread-2.13.so[7f4568e8+17000

I can produce a core file, but unfortunately I can't see the symbols
inside the pthread lib to determine where it is crashing.  Is there a
pthread library source package or debug version of libc / pthreads
that I can try?

# uname -a
Linux bertha 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Oct 3 03:59:20 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Possible mass bug filling for package depending on "menu".

2011-10-29 Thread Frank lin Piat
[Please, reply/discuss  ..  separate thread.]


Introduction

Lots of package seems to have some kind of dependency on "menu" which
aren't needed/useful. Therefore, removing the "menu" package on a
given system isn't always possible. Also, many packages seems depends,
recommends or suggests on the menu package, even though the dependency
isn't useful.

Intended Mass bug filling
=

I intend to submit a mass bug filling to ask packages maintainer to drop or
downgrade their dependency on "menu":

 * If the package merely provides a menu entry (in /usr/share/menu/), then
   any dependency on the menu package can and should be removed.
 * Packages that actually "consume" menu information can and should depend 
   on the package menu in some way.
   
   A program (window manager...) that presents a menu to the user should
   have a "depends" on menu if "Debian Menu" is the only menu system it
   supports. If the program has a different preferred menu (typically the
   XDG menu), then the dependency should be downgraded to recommend or 
   suggest. (see the note below regarding meta package) 
   

Meta packages that depend on "menu" are beyond the scope of this mail
because they often aim to provide a complete user environment.
(still, do consider that some user may want to uninstall "menu").

Alternatively, a Lintian test might test could be used.
After analyzing the package depending on menu (see below), I can to the
non-authoritative and unadvised conclusion that only the packages using the
menu (i.e providing a file in /etc/menu-methods/) and a very few meta package
can reasonably depend / recommend / suggest) on menu.

Rational

IMHO, only applications that use the content of menu entries (the files in
/usr/share/menu/... like the window managers, panels..) should declare a
dependency. Package that merely provides a file in /usr/share/menu/ should not
declare a dependency menu. The rational is that it makes no difference
whether the "menu" package is installed or not... if the user's "window
manager" don't use those menu entries.

Also, most people [me] look for a program in only one place (menu). Having
two menu side by side was useful for transition, but nowadays it probably
seems awkward to many end-users. (not to mention that some people
may blame Debian for not adopting open standards).

[The list below were made on a debian-testing :-/ ]

Specious "depends" relationship [AFAICT]:
