Bug#732207: tvtime: Fails to install + segfault
Package: tvtime
Followup-For: Bug #732207
Dear Maintainer,
I rebuild with dh_strip off. Which gives:
gdb --args tvtime-configure --configfile=/etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml --norm=SECAM --frequencies=france --device=/dev/video0 --vbidevice=/dev/vbi0 --priority=-10
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
__strlen_sse2 () at ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/../strlen.S:42
42 ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/../strlen.S: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type.
(gdb) bt

39 if( strlen( getenv( "HOME" ) ) > 230 ) { fprintf( stderr, "HOME is too long\n" ); exit( 1 ); }
It turns out that getenv always fails here (amd64), quick test for to reproduce:
$ gdb bash
(gdb) b main
(gdb) r
(gdb) p/s (char *)getenv("HOME")
$1 = 0xffffffffffffea8a <Address 0xffffffffffffea8a out of bounds>
Definitely looks like libc6 is broken on amd64 for its 2.17-97 deb at least (I tested with same libc6 version,
on debian sid too on arm 32 (cortex A9) and i386 also 32 all is fine.
critical indeed , you might want to reassign to libc6 (or I will tomorrow)
BR,
Alban
