| Doc Text: |
Previously, strace on s390x architecture couldn't handle the 31-bit binaries correctly. This has been fixed so that now there is a strace32 binary, which correctly handles 31-bit binaries even on s390x architecture.

Hi, I am creating a test plan for this Errata and it seems to me, that this bug and the "semtimedop" one ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=759566 ) are based on the same problem. Am I right? Can I test it the same way? OLD = 4.5.19-1.11.el6_3.2 NEW = 4.5.19-1.17.el6 so I run the strace, both OLD and NEW on: 1) semtimedop_app compiled with "-m31" and both fails: semtimedop(4393752297474, 0x3ff7fdcc1ca, 4393751543809, {...}) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) 2) semtimedop_app compiled normally, 64bit and both are OK: semtimedop(688130, {{0, -1, 0}}, 1, {0, 0}) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) ----- Then I run the strace32 (NEW, because OLD does not exist) on semtimedop_app compiled with "-m31" and it runs well: semtimedop(851970, {{0, -1, 0}}, 1, {0, 0}) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) ----- So it seems to me, that the strace32 works well on 31 bit apps with semtimedop and also others syscalls and the 64bit strace does not, but it is planned and expectable. So I should test somehow that the strace32 is present in the update and decodes well the 31bit app with semtimedop call or whatever else and not to care about the "normal" strace and its compatibility with 31bit apps. Is it like this? Thanks. Michael Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Ah, never mind - see it's built as a separate subpackage on the compat arch.
