Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10 Tags: sid Severity: important Yo! I saw #218546 and #216466 - It feels a bit like the first one. (So, to me it feels like Severity: critical - but since it's just on one system I won't do that) After installing (which, like in 218546 goes through without error) the new libc6, all programs linked to libpthread (which includes tar, so there's no going back with dpkg. And ls, and a lot of other small tools you're used to...) segfault. (thank god ln and ssh don't, so I can restore the old libc). 2.3.2-9 works. 2.3.2.ds1-{4,8,10} don't work. Kernel is 2.4.22 (with a few patches from kernel-patch-xxx packages from unstable). Funny thing is: a second system, with almost the same kernel, doesn't have the problem. Diff between the kernel configs is below. Problem: both systems are quite a mix between stable/testing/unstable software (we'd like to use stable, but we need current php and samba. And we like using the Debian packages, since it's so much easier...), and absolutely not in the same state, so you'll have to ask questions about installed software - I've no idea where to look for the problems. I can tweak the system which broke. The other one is a production machine which I don't want to touch too much. cheers -- vbi Hmmm. Diff between the kernel versions doesn't tell me anything (only difference is some modules, but none of these is loaded) however, gcc build environment used to build the kernels was different: this kernel works: $ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.4.22 (vbi@altfrangg) (gcc version 3.3.2 20031005 (Debian prerelease)) #3 SMP Thu Oct 23 08:03:53 CEST 2003 this one doesn't: cat /proc/version Linux version 2.4.22 (avbidder@ogo) (gcc version 3.3.2 (Debian)) #2 SMP Don Nov 6 16:03:21 CET 2003 with both kernels: # # Processor type and features # CONFIG_LOLAT=y CONFIG_LOLAT_SYSCTL=y CONFIG_M586=y CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK=y CONFIG_X86_INVLPG=y CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG=y CONFIG_X86_XADD=y CONFIG_X86_BSWAP=y CONFIG_X86_POPAD_OK=y CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM=y CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=5 CONFIG_X86_USE_STRING_486=y CONFIG_X86_ALIGNMENT_16=y CONFIG_X86_PPRO_FENCE=y CONFIG_X86_MCE=y CONFIG_MICROCODE=m CONFIG_X86_MSR=m CONFIG_X86_CPUID=m CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y CONFIG_MTRR=y CONFIG_SMP=y CONFIG_HAVE_DEC_LOCK=y (other are not set) Also: machine that works: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 11 model name : Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU 1200MHz stepping : 1 doesn't work: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : CentaurHauls cpu family : 6 model : 7 model name : VIA Samuel 2 stepping : 3 -- To stand and be still, At the Birkenhead drill, Is a damned tough bullet to chew. -- Rudyard Kipling
