In my frustration/excitement I did not properly trim down the testcase, and ignored the obvious change in behavior ( SIGUS -> SIGSEGV ). Unfortunately I won't have time in the next couple days to properly trim this down. All I currently have is the tarball of a minimalistic chroot left over from a failed debian install ( 35MiB SHA1:18917303621bd99ef8c319107ed0dcd2eb44abe0 ): https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVbjsxH93Wy4Lnx1pThdd1iQ33TpeysoHuwzFb7awef5U/chroot_with_failing_locales_reconfig.tar.xz The failure is as follows, showcasing a successful run and a failing run right after ( the 512 inode size was a red herring: 256 fails as well ): root@Ahasver:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=zeros.img bs=512M count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 536870912 bytes (537 MB) copied, 11.8806 s, 45.2 MB/s root@Ahasver:~# losetup -f zeros.img root@Ahasver:~# mke2fs -t ext4 -j -O inline_data /dev/loop0 mke2fs 1.43.3 (04-Sep-2016) Discarding device blocks: done Creating filesystem with 131072 4k blocks and 32768 inodes Filesystem UUID: 027504fd-e49d-42a3-bcd5-4ea3a05af5ed Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304 Allocating group tables: done Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (4096 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done root@Ahasver:~# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt root@Ahasver:~# cd /mnt root@Ahasver:/mnt# tar -Jxf ~/chroot_with_failing_locales_reconfig.tar.xz root@Ahasver:/mnt# cd chroot_with_failing_locales_reconfig/ root@Ahasver:/mnt/chroot_with_failing_locales_reconfig# ./chroot.bash root@Ahasver:/# dpkg-reconfigure -u locales Generating locales (this might take a while)... en_US.ISO-8859-1... done en_US.UTF-8... done Generation complete. root@Ahasver:/# exit root@Ahasver:/mnt/chroot_with_failing_locales_reconfig# cd root@Ahasver:~# umount /mnt root@Ahasver:~# mount -o data=journal /dev/loop0 /mnt root@Ahasver:~# cd /mnt/chroot_with_failing_locales_reconfig/ root@Ahasver:/mnt/chroot_with_failing_locales_reconfig# ./chroot.bash root@Ahasver:/# dpkg-reconfigure -u locales Generating locales (this might take a while)... en_US.ISO-8859-1...Bus error done en_US.UTF-8...Bus error done Generation complete. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
