Package: dpkg Version: 1.21.22 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, while upgrading Debian 11 to 12 on PowerEdge 860 server, it rebooted suddenly. All attempts to continue upgrade ended with reboots. Tracked it down to dpkg. Running dpkg-deb -c on some packages causes immediate reboot, e.g.: firmware-misc-nonfree_20230210-5_all.deb intel-microcode_3.20251111.1~deb12u1_amd64.deb Tried various dpkg versions (from snapshot.debian.org). The first bad version is 1.21.13. I suspect that it's caused by multithread liblzma decompression support that was enabled in this version but haven't confirmed that. Looks like a HW problem - but WTF? CPU bug? The server is: DELL PowerEdge 860, 2GB RAM, Xeon 3050 (dual core), SAS 5/iR RAID It was running all Debian versions from 5 to 11 without any problems. Now it's running 12 with dpkg 1.20.13 from Debian 11. No other problems. We're running Debian 12 on many other servers without any problems, including another PowerEdge 860 (but only 1 GB RAM, Celeron D, no HW RAID). -- Package-specific info: System tainted due to merged-usr-via-aliased-dirs. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.13 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable-security'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-42-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.8-5+b1 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u13 ii liblzma5 5.4.1-1 ii libselinux1 3.4-1+b6 ii tar 1.34+dfsg-1.2+deb12u1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.13.dfsg-1 dpkg recommends no packages.
