Bug 196864 – perl-core/DB_File-1.815 undefined symbol error

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Whit Blauvelt 2007-10-24 01:56:07 UTC]

Running mimedefang, on its startup, this error occurs:

mimedefang-multiplexor[30863]: Slave 0 stderr:
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux/auto/DB_File/DB_File.so:
undefined symbol: db_version_4000

Next the slave dies. This is fatal to the mimedefang-multiplexor. I've run perl-cleaner reallyall, and then reinstalled DB_File, and as well manually upgraded to the latest mimedefang, but this error persists.

Re-emerge sys-libs/db, then recompile perl-core/DB_File and try again.

[Comment 2 Whit Blauvelt 2007-10-24 14:42:51 UTC]

That got rid of the symbol error. Instead mimedefang-milter's slaves would fail with a sig 11. Reinstalling mimedefang-2.57 stopped those segfaults, but now it fails with:

Oct 24 10:32:45 xxxx mimedefang[10078]: MIMEDefang-2.57: st_optionneg[-1227437168]: 0xff does not fulfill action requirements 0x804cf90
Oct 24 10:32:45 xxxx sm-mta[10294]: l9OEWjPR010294: milter_sys_read(mimedefang): cmd read returned 0, expecting 5
Oct 24 10:32:45 xxxx sm-mta[10294]: l9OEWjPR010294: Milter (mimedefang): to error state

There's seems to be a couple of layers of trouble here - the sys-libs/db needing the recompile, and now something with mimedefang. I'll try recompiling mimedefang-2.63 next, to see if something's been fixed since 2.57 that pertains here. If that's the case, should I rename this to a mimedefang bug, or file a new one?

[Comment 3 Whit Blauvelt 2007-10-24 14:54:15 UTC]

No joy. Hand-built 2.63's slaves segfault (while the ebuild version of 2.57 have the other problem I just noted). So how can the source of the problem be narrowed down farther?

Unrelated, please file a *new* bug.
