Bug#1115860: bookworm-pu: package mailfromd/9.0-1+deb13u1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: trixie
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
X-Debbugs-Cc: mailfromd@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:mailfromd
Bug #1115720 reports, that the amd64 binary of mailfromd 9.0-1+b1
always fails on startup with the message
/usr/sbin/mailfromd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/mailfromd:
undefined symbol: mu_debug_level_p
I have to confirm this issue.
Re-building the package on a trixie (or even sid) environment results
in a working binary.
I suspect, that this is an issue with either with the time_t64
bin-nmu or with an update of mailutils which sadly didn't trigger an
autotest problem with the bin-nmu version mailfromd.
A simple re-build of the package solves this issue, so I suggest to
build 9.0-1+deb13u1 with no changes for the trixie 13.2 point release.
[ Reason ]
As #1115720 mentions this package is currently completely unusable.
[ Impact ]
The package keeps being completely unusable.
[ Tests ]
I built the package (9.0-1+deb13u1) in my trixie pbuilder.
Then I entered this (clean) trixie chroot and first installed 9.0-1+b1
and run mailfromd, which resulted in the undefined symbol error
mentioned above.
After this I installed 9.0-1+deb13u1 build of the package, which runs
without any issues.
I also run autopkgtest on 9.0-1+b1, which runs the testsuite with the
mailfromd 9.0-1+b1 binary, which fails on nearly all tests.
Then I run the same autopkgtest on 9.0-1+deb13u1, which succeeds on
all tests.
[ Risks ]
None (from my point of view).
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable (just uploaded 9.0-2,
this package runs autopkgtest without problems)
[ Changes ]
No changes...
