libc5: latest upgrade breaks WordPerfect 8
severity 211742 critical
retitle 211742 libc5: undefined symbol __ctype_b
thanks
This bug is occured by undefined symbol __ctype in libc5:
objdump -T /lib/libc.so.5 | grep __ctype
00000000 D *UND* 00000000 __ctype32_b
00000000 D *UND* 00000000 __ctype_b
00000000 D *UND* 00000000 __ctype_width
00000000 D *UND* 00000000 __ctype_toupper
00000000 D *UND* 00000000 __ctype_names
0002fcd0 g DF .text 00000006 __ctype_get_mb_cur_max
00000000 D *UND* 00000000 __ctype_tolower
These symbols are defined in libc5/ctype/ctype-info.c. Is this build
correctly? Recheck your libc5 build.
BTW, if you build sanely, and you have no clue to find the problem, I
concern this problem is related to glibc 2.3 modification. In glibc
2.3, some symbols like __ctype changed as hidden attribute. We fixed
to patch for Debian glibc 2.3.* (see glibc source package
debian/patches/glibc23-ctype-compat.dpatch).
