Re: Debian 12.5: pigz 2.6-1 fails with error message (Upstream issue 111)
Dear Franco Martelli, dear Thomas Schmitt, Sorry for the potential duplication. This mail should now also go to the list. I believe I found the problem which was on my side. I do have libz.so.1.3, since I manually compiled grpc on my machine and this also uses a newer version of zlib appearently. So this is not a Debian problem but rather specific to my setup. A clean install in a VM indeed works as expected. Do you still think a bug report is worth it?

However, as I have the docker sources as external repository those might have introduced an update to zlib. I will try to narrow it down and then open a subsequent bug report - possibly on a clean VM too. The error first occurred as I installed a docker image. However, pigz --version also gave this error.

Dear Thomas Schmitt, Yes, I think the local fix is the way to go. Probably even getting rid of the source of this, my manual GRPC install and replacing it with libgrpc++-dev. But that’s outside of this issue. Yours, Jonathan Chung Am 02.04.2024 um 23:34 schrieb Thomas Schmitt : Hi, (You forgot to Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org. Consider to send your mail to the list address, too. I too would then resend my following reply to the list.) Chung Jonathan wrote: I do have libz.so.1.3, since I manually compiled grpc on my machine and this also uses a newer version of zlib appearently. [...] Do you still think a bug report is worth it? Rather not. The original combination of pigz and zlib works in Debian 12. So it's not a bug in that context. The fact that it hampers upgrade to younger zlib is already addressed by the version of pigz in "testing". So in the context of Debian 13 it will be no bug either. This leaves only the possibility to really ask for a backport for the new feature that one can upgrade zlib before Debian offers it. But the desired use case is near to the topic of "Frankendebian": https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian If in urgent need for a fix, i expect that you would get more lucky by patching the "stable" pigz package for your local use according to https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial (patching is done in https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial#Edit_the_source_code and as usual in Debian, there are more ways than this one to do it ...) Have a nice day :) Thomas
