So, the binary from unstable doesn't appear to work on a standard lenny (I just installed one from scratch in a container just for this purpose):
# raidutil raidutil: /emul/ia32-linux/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) This is caused by bug #499786. I'm not sure if that will be fixed soon, so I've created a work-around. The first thing I noticed when building raidutils-0.6.6-8 under lenny: # apt-get install debhelper autoconf linux-kernel-headers libc6-dev-i386 g++-multilib Package linux-kernel-headers is a virtual package provided by: linux-libc-dev 2.6.26-5 You should explicitly select one to install. E: Package linux-kernel-headers has no installation candidate If I fix that by installing linux-libc-dev manually, I can start to compile which fails with: $ debian/rules build dh_testdir [...] checking whether the C++ compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C++ compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details. make: *** [config.status] Error 1 And that's because of bug # 499786 . This can be worked around by adding -static/-all-static to LDFLAGS (see patch, -all-static is a libtool thing) for the amd64 case in debian/rules. Suggested patch attached. I'm a little fuzzy on the policy here, I'm not sure if in this case you should upload to unstable, testing-proposed-updates, or both. Perhaps [EMAIL PROTECTED] can be of assistence. Mike.
