Bug 64732 – glibc-2.3.4.20040918 supplied a broken /usr/bin/ldd

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Herbie Hopkins (RETIRED) 2004-09-20 02:36:56 UTC]

Upgraded glibc to 2.3.4.20040918 but the ldd supplied appears to have errors in.
e.g.

$ ldd 
/usr/bin/ldd: line 78: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
/usr/bin/ldd: line 78: `  --v | --ve | --ver)'

The fix is rather trivial though:

The same here.... example:

/usr/bin/ldd: line 78: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
/usr/bin/ldd: line 78: `  --v | --ve | --ver)'

e-mailed upstream since it's still broken in glibc cvs

[Comment 3 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) 2004-09-21 12:20:06 UTC]

wow. looks like someone committed a patch without testing it. O_O
fixed in cvs, give it a bit to reach rsync. i didnt do a revision bump for this change, it's so small...

Thanks Travis! It works :D
