Bug#669179: eglibc: please update ld.so manpages

2012-04-17 Thread Nico Golde
Source: eglibc
Version: 2.13-27
Severity: wishlist

Hello,
please update the ld.so manapges for libc6 as shipped by Debian. They seem to 
be fairly outdated and do not reflect
what our ld.so currently supports. I was just surprised to find out that 
LD_SHOW_AUXV is documented, but not in our
version of the manual.

Thanks
Nico

Alright, thanks for your time, its really libmrss, the 
testing version works.
Kind regards

Which architecture are you using? A guy using AMD64 told me 
in IRC that he can't reproduce the problem too.
Upgrading mrss didn't trigger the issue here, I updated 
libc6 some days after mrss and it worked in the meantime.
Kind regards
Nico

#420012 bug in libmrss or in glibc?

2007-04-21 Thread Nico Golde
Hi,
http://bugs.debian.org/420012 is currently twisting my head.

http://people.debian.org/~nion/nb-bt-full-complete.txt shows
that this is no bug in the newsbeuter package. I don't 
really understand why the encoding variable is out of bounds 
and didn't find out with a quick look into libmrss code.

What makes me wonder is that a recompile solves the issue.
The bug doesn't appear with version 2.3.6... of glibc but 
with the new version in unstable 2.5.

If the recompile solves the issue I am curious how this is 
a bug in libmrss or newsbeuter since the mrss version didn't 
change.

Is it possible that it's a bug in libc?
Any help is appreciated since I don't know how to do further 
debugging here.

To reproduce this bug install newsbeuter (with 2.3.6.ds1-13 
of libc6 installed), echo 
"http://synflood.at/blog/index.php?/feeds/index.rss2";>~/.newsbeuter/urls,
start newsbeuter, press R to reload. This will work without 
any problem. Then update to 2.5-3 of libc6, start 
newsbeuter, press R and see it crashing :)

Kind regards
Nico

Bug#269382: libc6: false update from stable to testing

2004-09-01 Thread Nico Golde
Package: libc6
Version: 2.2.5-11.5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
hi,
the libc6 update from stable to testing doesnt work correct.
the script /etc/init.d/mountkernfs has been renamed in
/etc/init.d/mountvirtfs so you havnt got any pty after the update.
the solution is to instal initscripts new after install and then
/etc/init.d/mountvirtfs is there and it works correctly.
kind regards
Nico Golde
