Hmm, I think that explains many previous reports of strange package download problems. I notice that the statusbar is on for all udebs except the i386 one, too.. > It also seems that busybox-cvs doesn't build properly; gcc choked on > fdisk.c: > util-linux/fdisk.c: In function `get_geometry': > util-linux/fdisk.c:4060: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer > The line in question doesn't seem to contain any kind of array > subscript, so I've no idea what's causing this. According to Bastian, the "new" (circa early November) libc broke it. BLKGETSIZE64 is defined in that file using the _IOR macro. Apparently that macro has changed so the third argument is expected to be a type, not just a size, and busybox uses an 8. Seems u64 would be the right type, but that type is not available (only in kernel space). If I put in unsigned long long, it at least builds; not knowing a great deal about C type sizes, I dunno if it will work on all arches. I've put up udebs with this and some other fixes at http://kitenet.net/~joey/tmp/bb/ -- see shy jo
