And from the actual buildd logs, all the subtests that ought to have fetched a value from the config file fail with one of these messages: INTERNAL ERROR: backend 'ini' does not define a openfile routine INTERNAL ERROR: backend 'http_get' does not define a openfile routine Now... that's strange. Actually, that's passing strange - it's out there, right next to unbelievable :) I'm the upstream author of confget, and I know what these messages mean; and for the two "standard" backends, these messages mean that a statically-defined structure with a member that is statically initialized with a pointer to a static function in the same object file comes up with a null pointer instead! To be honest, I'm wondering about a bug in the toolchain, something to do with memory alignment or something. Unfortunately, I don't have access to mips hardware, and according to https://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=confget it builds just fine on all the other arches, so I'm a bit stumped. Now, there's two questions (or maybe requests) that could help me along a bit: First, from the logs of the mips buildd it seems that 1. it is a different version from the other sbuilds, and 2. it has more packages preinstalled. Could somebody give me a list of the packages installed on the mips buildds, just to see if something comes to mind? Second, could somebody with mips hardware get the confget source from unstable and give it a plain vanilla "debuild -uc -us" or something? If that fails in the same way as it fails on the buildd, maybe try it again with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='noopt nostrip nohardening'? Thanks in advance for any assistance; I'm really stumped here :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev roam@ringlet.net roam@space.bg roam@FreeBSD.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 I am the thought you are now thinking.
