Package: libc6 Version: 2.11.2-10 I noticed that msgmerge was randomly and intermittently dying with SIGFPE on multiple systems of mine. When I examined the core file, I saw that it was dying in qsort_r(). Some detective work showed that this was the following bug fixed in upstream glibc:

Bug#614883: Does not set local time offset for kernel

2011-02-23 Thread Ben Hutchings
Package: tzdata Version: 2011b-2 Severity: normal The kernel maintains a local time offset which is used for some stupid filesystems that are defined to store local times in their timestamps. The offset is initialised by hwclock which is invoked at boot time by /etc/init/hwclockfirst.sh. The offs

Bug#614882: {get,set}timeofday declared with incorrect '__nonnull' attribute

2011-02-23 Thread Ben Hutchings
Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.11.2-11 Severity: normal On Linux it is valid to call {get,set}timeofday() with a null timeval pointer and non-null timezone pointer. This will get or set the kernel's local time offset, which is used for converting timestamps on brain-dead filesystems like VFAT. se

RFC: use of shlib bump for libc dependency on new multiarch directories?

2011-02-23 Thread Steve Langasek
Dear release team, Although the paths in which libraries will ultimately be installed for multiarch is not yet entirely settled, one thing that is clear is that on i386, we almost certainly will not be using the path which has been enabled in glibc up to now, namely /lib/i486-linux-gnu.[1] We wil
