Hi, I am long time prelink user, which start to use cron job for it after it was added with sys-devel/prelink-20060213. But I realized, its somehow borked right now: # cat /var/log/prelink.log /usr/sbin/prelink -av -mR -q Prelink failed with return value 139 Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] sys-devel/prelink-20060712 0 kB /etc/conf.d/prelink contains lines: PRELINKING=yes PRELINK_OPTS=-mR PRELINK_FULL_TIME_INTERVAL=14 PRELINK_NOEMER_CHECK_INTERVAL=7 If you need some additional info, I am prepare to add it here. Thanks # emerge --info >>> cfg-update-1.8.0-r3 : No new packages have been emerged, checksum index OK...

Same problem here. Only occurs when using the "-q" option As a workaround, comment PRELINK_FULL_TIME_INTERVAL in /etc/conf.d/prelink (and so only do full prelink and disable quick mode)
Created attachment 95051 [details, diff] prelink-20060712-deps_cmp.patch This patch fixes the issue. deps_cmp seems to expect a single NULL entry, but is unable to cope with two NULL entries, causing member access through a null pointer and thus SIGSEGV. I'll email this patch to Jakub Jelinek, so it can be incorporated in future releases. BTW, the HOMEPAGE for this ebuild did not work for me, connection refused. Maybe it's a temporary thing; let's hope so.
is there some news? the problem is still out there.. (and on my laptop too)
why isn't this assigned to base?
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-cvs-commits/2006-July/msg03403.html
can't the patch be included in our ebuild? (like redhat is doing taking a look to their .spec file) I still have the same problem: (gdb) run -av -mR -q Starting program: /usr/sbin/prelink -av -mR -q Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x08048c48 in deps_cmp (A=0xaf8f8acc, B=0xaf8fb310) at cache.c:344 344 cache.c: No such file or directory. in cache.c (gdb) bt #0 0x08048c48 in deps_cmp (A=0xaf8f8acc, B=0xaf8fb310) at cache.c:344 #1 0x080a92b5 in msort_with_tmp () #2 0x080a93ed in qsort () #3 0x08049418 in prelink_load_cache () at cache.c:465 #4 0x0805f05b in main (argc=4, argv=0xaf8fb6a4) at main.c:415 (gdb)
Created attachment 102190 [details] ebuild applying prelink-20060712-deps_cmp.patch Ebuild for prelink applying patch prelink-20060712-deps_cmp.patch It works for me.
committed upstream's patch as obvious. thanks.
