Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.3-0.2
Severity: grave
I had been posting to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=401263 but it has
become clear from the patch posted yesterday that that bug is a
separate issue to the one I am seeing with the Debian Installer. Most
of the information in this bug report was previously posted to
#401263.
apt seems to be creating corrupt package cache files
(/var/cache/dpkg/*.bin) when it is first installed during installation
of Debian with the Debian Installer on an Linksys NSLU2 (arm). Below
are the last messages recorded in /var/log/syslog before the installer
stops.

A search of existing bugs filed against apt turned up
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=81829 and all of its
reincarnations. Historically, problem has been blamed on faulty lower
level functionality (kernel, filesystem, networking, hardware), but
two different people started seeing it at around the the same time
with Installer daily builds, so I doubt that it can be hardware. This
leaves kernel, filesystem, and networking issues.
I tried disabling TCP window scaling which can cause networking
issues, but apt-get still failed during the install in the same way.
I'm not sure how to test for filesystem or kernel problems.
I then started investigating whether this problem was due to corrupt
cache files in /var/cache/apt which has been mentioned as a cause to
#81829. With the original /var/cache/apt/*.bin files created when apt
is installed, apt-get seg faults.

Removing the cache files (/var/cache/apt/*.bin) causes apt-get to
start working, and when apt-get is run, the cache file are recreated.

Note that the size of pkgcache.bin has changed, i.e. there is

Then, just to check that it was actually the cache files that were

So it is obviously the cache files that are created initially that are
causing the problem. But why does apt-get create corrupt cache files
during the installation process ? This seems to be the heart of the
problem. I have copies of both the corrupt and recreated cache files
that I can send to somebody if need be.
The only seemingly obvious problem that I have found so far that
Pkg.CurrentVer().VerStr() returns a pointer to a location that is not
addressable.

Any suggestions for things to try ?
Other information:
I am using Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, kernel 2.6.18-3-ixp4xx.
There is a thread about this problem in debian-boot [1] since it
causes the installer to fail on the Linksys NSLU2.

* arm/ixp4xx: Enable some more I2C sensor modules.
* arm/ixp4xx: Enable CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST.
* arm/footbridge: Enable CONFIG_NATSEMI.
* Revert mm/msync patches because they cause filesystem corruption
(closes: #401006, #401980, #402707) ...
* ... and add an alternative msync patch from Hugh Dickins that
doesn't depend on the mm changes (closes: #394392).
* mips: provide pci_get_legacy_ide_irq needed by some IDE drivers
(see #404950).
* arm: Implement flush_anon_page(), which is needed for FUSE
(closes: #402876) and possibly dm-crypt/LUKS (see #403426).
* arm: Turn off PCI burst on the Cyber2010, otherwise X11 on
Netwinder will crash.
* arm/iop32x: Enable CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC and drivers based
on it.
* arm/ixp4xx: Upgrade to version 0.3.1 of the IXP4xx NPE Ethernet
driver. This version fixes stuck connections, e.g. with scp and
NFS (closes: #404447).
* arm/ixp4xx: Enable CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA_USB.
* arm/ixp4xx: Enable CONFIG_ISCSI_TCP.

[ dann frazier ]
* Fix potential fragmentation attacks in ip6_tables (CVE-2006-4572)
* Backport a number of fixes for the cciss driver
- Fix a bug with 1TB disks caused by converting total_size to an int
- Claim devices that are of the HP RAID class and have a valid cciss sig
- Make NR_CMDS a per-controller define - most can do 1024 commands, but
the E200 family can only support 128
- Change the SSID on the E500 as a workaround for a firmware bug
- Disable prefetch on the P600 controller. An ASIC bug may result in
prefetching beyond the end of physical memory
- Increase blk_queue_max_sectors from 512 to 2048 to increase performance
- Map out more memor for the PCI config table, required to reach offset
0x214 to disable DMA on the P600
- Set a default raid level on a volume that either does not support
reading the geometry or reports an invalid geometry for whatever reason
to avoid problems with buggy firmware
- Revert change that replaed XFER_READ/XFER_WRITE macros with
h->cciss_read/h->cciss_write that caused command timeouts on older
controllers on ia32 (closes: #402787)
* Fix mincore hang (CVE-2006-4814)
* ia64: turn on IOC4 modules for SGI Altix systems. Thanks to Stephane Larose
for suggesting this.
* Add versioned build dep on findutils to make sure the system find command
supports the -execdir action (closes: #405150)
* Hardcode the output of the scripts under arch/ia64/scripts as executed
in an etch environment so that we can build out of tree modules correctly
(closes: #392592)
* Update unusual_devs entry for ipod to fix an eject issue (closes: #406124)
* Re-add verify_pmtmr_rate, resolving problems seen on older K6 ASUS
boards where the ACPI PM timer runs too fast (closes: #394753)
* Avoid condition where /proc/swaps header may not be printed
(closes: #292318)
* [hppa] disable XFS until it works (closes: #350482)
.
[ Norbert Tretkowski ]
