Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 10846
newer authconfig versions segfault on older systems
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:55 EDT
(authconfig-3.0.3-1, other -3.0* also; authconfig-2.0-2 from RH61 works fine) Newer versions of authconfig seem to segfault on my heavily updated RH51 box. glibc-2.0.7-19 popt-1.5-5x newt-0.50.8-2 slang-1.4.0-2 And a few lines from strace: ----- close(3) = 0 personality(PER_LINUX) = 0 getpid() = 9053 brk(0) = 0x804eb90 brk(0x804ebc8) = 0x804ebc8 brk(0x804f000) = 0x804f000 open("/etc/popt", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) getuid() = 0 geteuid() = 0 open("/root/.popt", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) getuid() = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ -------
Um, the versions of popt, authconfig, slang, etc. are all recompiled against glibc2.0, correct? (just making sure...)
Yes. All of those have been rebuilt from SRPMs.
The next message I get when I strace authconfig is an opening of a message catalog file. Which version of gettext do you have installed?
I'm unable to test this anymore, since I updated to Redhat 6.2. Gettext was almost certainly the distribution binary from Redhat 5.1
This is a test comment. Please disregard.
