Package: approx Version: 2.8.0 Severity: normal
Wanting to only use approx in combination with pbuilder, I was hoping it could listen only on the local interface. Unfortunately, after editing /etx/approx/approx.conf with this preference it would semi-silently exit due to a segmentation fault. Like so: $ sudo invoke-rc.d approx start Starting proxy server for Debian archive files: approx. $ echo $? 0 $ ps auwx | grep approx | grep -v grep <no output> $ grep approx /var/log/syslog Oct 28 06:07:54 rei approx: Version: approx 2.8.0 Oct 28 06:07:54 rei approx: Config file: /etc/approx/approx.conf Oct 28 06:07:54 rei approx: Interface: lo Oct 28 06:07:54 rei approx: Port: 9999 Oct 28 06:07:54 rei approx: Cache: /var/cache/approx Oct 28 06:07:54 rei approx: Interval: 12 hours Oct 28 06:07:54 rei approx: Max wait: 10 Oct 28 06:07:54 rei approx: Debug: false Oct 28 06:07:54 rei kernel: [969824.941197] approx[28254]: segfault at ffffffff8dc53d70 rip 4cabf0 rsp 7fff95c8e6e8 error 4 $ sudo /usr/sbin/approx -f Version: approx 2.8.0 Config file: /etc/approx/approx.conf Interface: lo Port: 9999 Cache: /var/cache/approx Interval: 12 hours Max wait: 10 Debug: false Segmentation fault $ grep -v '^[[:space:]]*(#|$)' /etc/approx/approx.conf interface lo debian http://ftp.debian.org/debian security http://security.debian.org volatile http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile If "lo" isn't supposed to work as the "interface", that's fine. I'd just like the package to not crash and, preferably, be more verbose about failing to start I feel the crash warrants "normal" severity. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-19-xen Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages approx depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii bzip2 1.0.3-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii curl 7.15.5-1etch1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS, FT ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpcre3 6.7+7.4-4 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii lsb-base 3.1-23.2etch1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip approx recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
