I will fix things there. Let's stick to 2.6.23 testing for pinpointing these bugs. > there're some comparisons of the strace of aptitude -u in > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=433187#102 > Probably interesting as there're futexes in the game. Of course there are, as soon as you start using libnss-db there will be futexes. Can you reproduce the aptitute problems under 2.6.23 with libnss-db disabled? > The interesting thing is that it didn't crash the machine while running > under strace. If the futex problem I suspect is in fact the issue, strace'ing would definitely make that problem go away. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
