package checkinstall tag 702314 patch pending thanks Hi,
I can reproduce this on amd64 and i386. The following is from fisher.debian.org (i386): /bin/dash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/home/lindi/debian/debian-checkinstall/checkinstall-1.6.2/installwatch/installwatch.so exec cat /etc/motd' Illegal instruction Debugger shows that the crash happens at 0x2807ac72 which is mapped to the installwatch.so according to /proc. Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction. 0x2807ac72 in ?? () from /lib/ld.so.1 (gdb) x/4i $eip-6 0x2807ac6c: lea 0x10(%ebp),%eax 0x2807ac6f: mov %eax,-0xc(%ebp) => 0x2807ac72: ud2 0x2807ac74: push %ebp This is the last instruction of the open function. objdump of the .so confirms that the function indeed contains some "ud2a" instruction: 00006c11 <open>: 6c11: 55 push %ebp 6c12: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 6c14: 53 push %ebx 6c15: 81 ec 64 18 00 00 sub $0x1864,%esp 6c1b: e8 d9 34 00 00 call a0f9 <__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx> 6c20: 81 c3 b4 54 00 00 add $0x54b4,%ebx 6c26: 8b 83 f4 ff ff ff mov -0xc(%ebx),%eax 6c2c: 8b 00 mov (%eax),%eax 6c2e: 8d 50 01 lea 0x1(%eax),%edx 6c31: 8b 83 f4 ff ff ff mov -0xc(%ebx),%eax 6c37: 89 10 mov %edx,(%eax) 6c39: 8b 83 08 1a 00 00 mov 0x1a08(%ebx),%eax 6c3f: 85 c0 test %eax,%eax 6c41: 75 05 jne 6c48 <open+0x37> 6c43: e8 66 a6 ff ff call 12ae <initialize> 6c48: 8b 45 0c mov 0xc(%ebp),%eax 6c4b: 89 44 24 0c mov %eax,0xc(%esp) 6c4f: 8b 45 08 mov 0x8(%ebp),%eax 6c52: 89 44 24 08 mov %eax,0x8(%esp) 6c56: 8d 83 47 ec ff ff lea -0x13b9(%ebx),%eax 6c5c: 89 44 24 04 mov %eax,0x4(%esp) 6c60: c7 04 24 02 00 00 00 movl $0x2,(%esp) 6c67: e8 15 af ff ff call 1b81 <debug> 6c6c: 8d 45 10 lea 0x10(%ebp),%eax 6c6f: 89 45 f4 mov %eax,-0xc(%ebp) 6c72: 0f 0b ud2a Now, the build log talks about this: gcc -Wall -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -DPIC -fPIC -D_REENTRANT -DVERSION=\"0.7.0beta7\" installwatch.c installwatch.c: In function '__instw_printdirent64': installwatch.c:1037:4: warning: format '%lld' expects argument of type 'long long int', but argument 4 has type 'unsigned int' [-Wformat] installwatch.c:1037:4: warning: format '%lld' expects argument of type 'long long int', but argument 5 has type 'int' [-Wformat] installwatch.c: In function 'openat': installwatch.c:3835:11: warning: 'short unsigned int' is promoted to 'int' when passed through '...'

I pushed patches to http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/checkinstall.git;a=summary and built with pbuilder to see that there are no obvious regressions on amd64 (linux). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
