I believe this is the issue addressed in the not yet completed Release goal of large file support, see <URL: https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/LFS >. I believe the best way to move debian forward is to create a lintian check that detect and report an error for every program using stat() without building with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, to ensure this class of errors are detected automatically. It will get people to fix them too. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
