Package: libdbd-mysql-perl
Version: 1.2214-1
Severity: grave
Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/5.005/sparc-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so'
for module DBD::mysql:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.005/sparc-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so:
undefined symbol: compress
at /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/sparc-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 169.
We can verify that mysql.so needs the 'compress' symbol from libz:
$ nm --dynamic .../mysql.so | grep compress
U compress
[...]
and that it has no dep on libz.so.1:
$ ldd /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/sparc-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x70064000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x700a6000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x08000000)
This is peculiar, since recompiliing the package with no changes
yields a mysql.so module that has no reference to compress anymore.
The proposed fix to this problem is to reupload the SPARC binary
package for the package (I do not know if other platforms are subject
to this problem as well).
As this renders the package completely unusable, the severity of
the bug is set to 'grave'.
Thomas.
