Bug#204844: xlibs: libXt.so needs to be built with gcc 3.3.x for HPPA
Package: xlibs
Version: 4.2.1-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
libXt.so/testing has been broken for hppa for quite some time.
Rebuilding libXt.so with gcc 3.3.x "fixes" the problem.
First email on the topic at:
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2003-March/019622.html
Error message is "Unresolved inheritance operation" with gv, xdvi,
xpdf, xkeycaps, et al.
I was hoping for one of two results:
o promote xlibs-4.2.1-9/unstable to "testing"
(assumes -9 is built with gcc 3.3.1)
o bin upload the entire xfree86 4.2.1-6 for hppa built with gcc 3.3.1
I hadn't filed a bug report before thinking in a month or so a new
xfree86 would get uploaded and promoted to testing. Hasn't happened
yet (4 monthes later).
This bug is producible on B180, C3000, 32 and 64-bit kernels.
Most recently, James Bottomley (linux-scsi maintainer) ran into
this when preparing a B180 for HP World to use to present his talk.
He rebuilt xfree86-4.2.1-9 and installed the xlibs*hppa.deb with success.
thanks,
