Bug#602568: squeeze-di-beta1 installer: partman hang
Interesting finding:
libparted.so.0.0.1 (from *.deb) != libparted.so.0.0.1 (from *.udeb)
I have do this:
apt-get source parted
cd parted-2.3/
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us
cd ..
mkdir install-bin
dpkg -x libparted0-udeb_2.3-3_i386.udeb install-bin/
dpkg -x parted-udeb_2.3-3_i386.udeb install-bin/
cd install-bin/
ls -l *
lib:
total 484
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jcdr jcdr 18 6 nov 21:46 libparted.so.0 ->
libparted.so.0.0.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 jcdr jcdr 489596 6 nov 21:37 libparted.so.0.0.1
sbin:
total 72
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jcdr jcdr 68012 6 nov 21:37 parted
Now test ./sbin/parted with the system library:
ldd ./sbin/parted
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb77c0000)
libparted.so.0 => /lib/libparted.so.0 (0xb773d000)

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77c1000)
libselinux.so.1 => /lib/libselinux.so.1 (0xb7595000)
libudev.so.0 => /lib/libudev.so.0 (0xb7586000)
./sbin/parted /dev/sdb print

It use the /lib/libparted.so.0 (with the root /) and work fine.
Now test ./sbin/parted with the installer library:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib/ ldd ./sbin/parted
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb78b1000)
libparted.so.0 => ./lib/libparted.so.0 (0xb7831000)

It use the ./lib/libparted.so.0 (the current directory lib instead of
the root /) and failed. I verified that it work this way with the others
partitions.
There is obviously something different between this two library, despite
the fact that there are compiled form the same source package:
ls -l /lib/libparted.so.0.0.1 lib/libparted.so.0.0.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 432668 17 oct 12:18 /lib/libparted.so.0.0.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 jcdr jcdr 489596 6 nov 21:37 lib/libparted.so.0.0.1
file /lib/libparted.so.0.0.1 lib/libparted.so.0.0.1
/lib/libparted.so.0.0.1: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386,
version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
lib/libparted.so.0.0.1: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386,
version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
The installed library is about 56k less in size that the system library.
Is some code path not compiled for the installer version ?
