Hi,
context: kfreebsd-* experimental buildds were not properly configured
and pulled more stuff from experimental than actually needed. We
started
to see many FTBFSes (in particular on kfreebsd-amd64) due to:
- update-mime-database.real
- xsltproc
- xmllint
which started to segfault, core dump, etc. One can notice all of them
have a NEEDED on libxml2.so.2, which in turn pulls libz.so.1
This is actually a bug (already filed, I'll merge them later when I
have a proper network). It is relying on zlib internals which have
been changed but where never exposed in a header file, much less part
of the API.
I'm also able to reproduce this error on sid/(linux-)amd64, by just
pulling zlib1g from experimental. Before pulling it, this runs fine:
sudo update-mime-database.real /usr/share/mime
After having pulled it, this segfaults.
Sounds like a possible ABI breakage? Since symbols look like okay-ish,
maybe a signature change? Upstream's diff is quite huge since build
system changed and so on, so I'll leave that up to you/upstream. ;)
Mraw,
KiBi.
