Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Rafał Mużyło 2009-09-03 19:49:08 UTC]

The obvious: attach config.log.

[Comment 2 Viktor S 2009-09-03 22:33:53 UTC]

Created attachment 203086 [details]
config.log

if you think that helps, sure.

[Comment 3 Patrick Lauer 2009-09-04 09:24:07 UTC]

Looks like an issue in your local setup. I can't reproduce it here (yet).

[Comment 4 Viktor S 2009-09-04 12:30:33 UTC]

It's strange because Samba obviously compiled earlier (3.2.14 is installed on my system) and I've not recompiled anything I can think of that would cause this kind of breakage since.

[Comment 5 Viktor S 2009-09-07 19:37:42 UTC]

Could someone PLEASE look at this, this is a MAJOR showstopper for me atm and I simply cannot fix this on my own. I've looked high and low but I don't even know what package/library is supposed to be supplying the readdir() call. I've attached all the info that I could think of, but if you need any more just say so.

[Comment 6 Viktor S 2009-09-07 19:49:09 UTC]

I've been reading through my own logs and it seems like syslog is the point of failure, which seems really really strange to me since a) I have syslog-ng installed (and updated to the latest version) and b) I'm building with USE -syslog for crying out loud, it shouldn't even LOOK for syslog IN THE FIRST PLACE.

[Comment 7 Rafał Mużyło 2009-09-07 22:03:39 UTC]

It seems the problem is quite trivial and surprisingly
is an ebuild bug.
'debug' useflag needs dmalloc, but it's missing from
samba-client's dependencies.

[Comment 8 Viktor S 2009-09-07 22:28:29 UTC]

Thank you so much, that was actually the culprit and thus the ebuild should be fixed and this bug can be closed. I'll attach diffs for the affected ebuilds.
