Package: apr Severity: important Tags: upstream squeeze wheezy sid Dear Maintainer,
All APR released before 1.4.6 have a bug in apr_file_trunc() that can result in files being longer than they should be: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/1.4.x/CHANGES This can cause corruption in Subversion fsfs repositories. The next release of svn 1.6.x and the 1.7.3 release works around this issue by flushing the APR file buffer before truncating it: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1240892 For Debian versions on 1.4.x, updating to 1.4.6 is probably easiest. For older releases, one could take these two commits from apr's trunk and apply them to the 1.x.y branch. I haven't done this myself, but my hunch says it should work without much effort: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1044432 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1044440 Regards, Blair -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers oneiric-updates APT policy: (500, 'oneiric-updates'), (500, 'oneiric-security'), (500, 'oneiric'), (100, 'oneiric-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-16-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
