Package: libelfg0 Version: 0.8.5-1 Severity: critical I just did a dist-upgrade, and every time I try to run a program linked with libelf I get the following error:
error while loading shared libraries: libelf.so.0: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Error 14 Many other libraries doing the same thing (so far I've found libgcrypt, libcrypto, and libgdbm, and I'm filing bugs for all of them). Some of these are serious enough to make the entire system unusable (many important services depend on crypto and gdbm, and libacl is used by cp, mv, and ls). Google suggests this has something to do with "pax", which I've never heard of and have certainly never installed or enabled. However, I found a post saying that I could run "execstack -c" on libraries which gave this error to sop them requesting an executable stack. I installed the "prelink" package which contains execstack - but of course execstack requires libelf, so I can't run it. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.18-bf2.4 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages libelfg0 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an libelfg0 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
