[parisc-linux] 720/50 update

Thu, 8 Nov 2001 16:11:26 +0200

Hello Randolph, Alan and parisc-linux,

I've grabbed the new debs from the site. Here's how things went:

0. Using old apt with old libs, things seemed to work initially, but by
   yesterday around lunch-time, everything was dying (bigger database
   maybe?).

1. Using apt I built from scratch yesterday, _without_ LD_BIND_NOW=1
   set, I get a segmentation fault (apt-cache and apt-get). /var/log/syslog
   contains the following:

2. Using original apt, with new libs, apt-cache search, apt-get remove,
   and apt-get install all seem to work. apt-get update from http sites
   seems to work. apt-get update with deb-src lines in the sources.list
   produces an Illegal instruction error right after wgetting the
   relevant file. /var/log/syslog contains the following:

3. Using the apt I built from sources, _with_ LD_BIND_NOW=1 set, 
   everything seems to work fine, including fetching deb-src.

4. Using original apt _with_ LD_BIND_NOW=1 set, everything also seems to
   work; most notably the fetching of deb-src works.

bob:/home/fullung# uname -a
Linux bob 2.4.9-pa70 #5 Thu Nov 8 08:08:50 UTC 2001 parisc unknown

I built this kernel using the most recent gcc on this box yesterday.

For the rest I have all the latest packages from gluck -- everything
from about a day ago, and today's libc6, libc6-dev and nscd.

That's about. :-)

Regards,

Albert
