  • Bug#265678: fakeroot gdb segfaults on mips

    From Thiemo Seufer@1:229/2 to All on Sat Aug 14 14:30:10 2004

    Package: fakeroot
    Version: 1.0.7
    Severity: important

    Fakeroot appears to be broken on mips for every command depending on
    libdl. A simple example:

    hattusa:~$ fakeroot gdb
    /usr/bin/fakeroot: line 148: 9506 Segmentation fault FAKEROOTKEY=$FAKEROOTKEY LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PATHS" LD_PRELOAD="$LIB" "$@"

    This happens at least with fakeroot versions 1.0.5, 1.0.6 and 1.0.7.

    Fakeroot appears to be broken on mips for every command depending on
    libdl. A simple example:

    I can reproduce this with gdb, but not with bash or zsh, which are also
    both linked against libdl. file also segfaults, though it is not linked against libdl.

    hattusa:~$ fakeroot gdb
    /usr/bin/fakeroot: line 148: 9506 Segmentation fault FAKEROOTKEY=$FAKEROOTKEY LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PATHS" LD_PRELOAD="$LIB" "$@"

    This happens at least with fakeroot versions 1.0.5, 1.0.6 and 1.0.7.

    Both the segfault in gdb and file appear to be in _dl_unload_cache:

    #0 0x2aab1564 in _dl_unload_cache () from /lib/ld.so.1
    Cannot access memory at address 0x7f7f7fec

    The program where I noticed the problem was gconftool-2. I tried to
    debug it with gdb...

    I can confirm "fakeroot bash" works here as well.

    hattusa:~$ fakeroot gdb
    /usr/bin/fakeroot: line 148: 9506 Segmentation fault FAKEROOTKEY=$FAKEROOTKEY LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PATHS" LD_PRELOAD="$LIB" "$@"

    #0 0x2aab1564 in _dl_unload_cache () from /lib/ld.so.1

    So it appears to be a libc problem.

    file, however, does not segfault here but uses up to 1.4 GB per call.
    This slowes compilations down quite a bit. :-)
