Package: ghc Version: 8.0.1-14 Severity: serious git-annex: unable to decommit memory: Invalid argument
This happened with a git-annex built with this ghc, and bundled with Debian's glibc (essentially a chroot), on a Fedora system with a 4.4.14 Linux kernel. It apparently then led to memory corruption, since git-annex created some very bogus symlinks: lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 338 Jun 17 22:36 bup.git/objects/pack/pack-47b493a3bbbd22200d2b390c277e49ce713243cc.pack -> *??:?;J????????? So, we seem to have data loss, presumably any git-annex binary built with this ghc and used with a too old kernel. Could also affect other haskell programs. The ghc bug leading to this problem has been fixed: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12865 Could you please fast-track this fix into Debian? -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ghc depends on: ii dpkg 1.18.14 ii gcc 4:6.1.1-1 ii libbsd-dev 0.8.3-1 ii libc6 2.24-5 ii libc6-dev 2.24-5 ii libffi-dev 3.2.1-6 ii libffi6 3.2.1-6 ii libgmp-dev 2:6.1.1+dfsg-1 ii libgmp10 2:6.1.1+dfsg-1 ii libncurses5-dev 6.0+20160917-1 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20160917-1 ghc recommends no packages.
