Bug#202756: I can reproduce this willingly on my smp box
I was going to start doing some work on dpkg. So, I decided to upgrade to the
latest versions of all it's build-depends. This of course brought in libc6.
However, when it started to upgrade from 2.3.1-17 to 2.3.2-5, the old postrm
and the new preinst both segfault. Existing programs work fine, however.
In trying to fix that, I made the very bad mistake of doing dpkg-deb -x
libc6.deb /, which then made *all* programs segfault on the host. Don't do
that.
Anyways, I found an old potato chroot, which I was able to eventually get
into(using it's ld.so, and ld_library_path). I then did the following series
of steps:
make woody chroot.
upgrade to testing.
install libc6-{dbg,dev,pic} # I had these on the host, don't really think
# it affects the bug. apt just did an
# --unpack on them in the same run.
edit sources.list, change to unstable
apt-get install libc6{,-{dbg,dev,pic}}
I then get the following error:
Preparing to replace libc6 2.3.1-16 (using .../libc6_2.3.2-5_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.2-5_i386.deb (--unpack):
dpkg: warning - old post-removal script killed by signal (Segmentation fault), core
dumped
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess pre-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault), core dumped
What's interesting is that I can run the old postrm and old preinst fine.
The machine this is broken on is a dual celeron 333 running linux 2.5.68. The
host is busted right now(I have sash, so can do some things, on the *single*
ssh window I have open). I'm going to be installing ssh in one of the
chroots, on a different port, so that others can play with this.
I've just verified that it still fails if I remove libc6-{dev,dbg,pic} before
installing just libc6 from unstable.
I can give out access to this machine, but not until tomorrow. It's also
behind a firewall, so some bouncing will be required.

Bug#159633: strncpy on alpha/libc broken
package: libc6.1
version: 2.2.5-11.1
severity: serious
On lully, I have a repeatable segfault being caused by strncpy(which calls
__stxncpy).
dpkg calls strncpy to copy data from it's mmap'd buffer, into a tmp var, for
moving around. mmap on alpha aligns the end of the data segment with a page
boundary. Depending on the alignment of the source address passed to strncpy,
a segfault will occur inside the above function.
My guess is this is due to an optimization, trying to copy ints/words around,
instead of pure bytes.
Substituting memcpy or a for loop, allows the dpkg code to work. This shows
that the addresses and the length are both valid, and don't step into unknown
memory.
I have dpkg compiled on lully, and it doesn't require root to see the
bug(--admindir is enough). If you need help reproducing this, then just
respond.
In fact, here's a c program that shows the bug. Compile with CFLAGS=-g(of
course).

The memcpy loop completes as expected. The strncpy loop segfaults. Here's
the gdb session info:

I believe I even filed a bug on it. That would be #158299. I think it's reasonable, but discussion belongs there, not here. Not using /var/backups when infodir is given is a different bug than calling install-info as non-root. b) That error is NOT fatal. Notice: make[3]: *** [install] Error 139 This would be the reason it didn't build from source. Has nothing to do with root or non-root. I even discussed this with you on IRC at the time. Er, whatever. The last command run was install-info(which was run as non-root), and it caused the build to fail. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#52420: getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN broken on sparc
Package: libc6-dev Arch: arm Version: 2.1.2-1 Arch: sparc Version: 2.1.2-8 $ getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN 0 That's a rather slow box. Maybe it has been lobotomized. This works fine on alpha(2.1.2-1) and intel(2.1.2-10). I haven't tested this on powerpc nor m68k(couldn't get into one of those boxes) BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK Version: 3.12 GCS d- s: a-- c+++ UL P+ L !E W+ M o+ K- W--- !O M- !V PS-- PE++ Y+ PGP++ t* 5++ X+ tv b+ D++ G e h*! !r z? -END GEEK CODE BLOCK- BEGIN PGP INFO Adam Heath [EMAIL PROTECTED]Finger Print | KeyID 67 01 42 93 CA 37 FB 1E63 C9 80 1D 08 CF 84 0A | DE656B05 PGP AD46 C888 F587 F8A3 A6DA 3261 8A2C 7DC2 8BD4 A489 | 8BD4A489 GPG -END PGP INFO-
