I caught up with Adam Conrad a debconf and he pointed out that __aeabi_*
are some weird internal ABI thing which doesn't actually indicate an
unresolved symbol. IOW they should be ignored, dpkg-shlibs does this too
(search for __aeabi_ in /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Shlibs/SymbolFile.pm)
Rebuilding the installer with mklibs patches as below seems to work, in
that I can "chroot tmp/network-console/tree/ /bin/sh" and then in the
chroot "/usb/sbin/sshd --help" runs and produces output. If the symbol
were actually required at runtime then this would have failed with some
sort of dynamic linker error.
This:
# LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1 /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 /usr/sbin/sshd
libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (0xb6ddd000)
libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0xb6dcb000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb6da9000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0xb6d6c000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb6cc1000)
/lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 (0xb6f7c000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb6cb0000)
indicates that the ssh binary is indeed using those libraries which
appear to depend on the problematic symbol.
What's not clear is why this is just occurring now. I suppose changes to
gcc/glibc or something have caused it to be exposed. I don't propose to
dig much deeper into that aspect (mostly on the basis that if
dpkg-shlibs does it mklibs should too).
So I think we should upload a new mklibs and have a new debian-installer
upload which buidld-deps on it.
Ian.
