Source: libaal-dev Version: 1.0.6-1 Severity: important User: bal...@balintreczey.hu Usertags: pie-bindnow-20160906 Justification: makes partclone FTBFS with extra hardening Affects: partclone reiser4progs
Dear Maintainers, During a rebuild of all packages in sid, partclone failed to build on amd64 with patched GCC and dpkg. The root cause seems to be that libaal.a is shipped as a non-PIC library. The rebuild tested if packages are ready for a transition enabling PIE and bindnow for amd64 (and selected architectures). For more information about the changes to sid's dpkg and GCC please visit: https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening/PIEByDefaultTransition Relevant part of partclone's build log: ... checking for aal_device_open in -laal... no configure: error: *** Reiser4 depend library (libaal) not found ... The full build log is available from: https://people.debian.org/~rbalint/build-logs/pie-bindnow-20160906/partclone_0.2.88-1_amd64.build.gz Thanks, Balint
