Anyone running under QEMU?

[Erik de Castro Lopo-28]

Hi all,

I am running a MIPS image under QEMU. The image was obtained here:

    http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/mips/

and I upgraded it to sid.

The problem I'm having is that postfix, slogin and sshd are all
segfaulting.

Does anyone have real hardware, running sid where these programs
are working?

Cheers,
Erik

Nope, same effect here on my SGI Indy R5000 IP22, I didn't check
slogin though.  Downgrading postfix and openssh* to pre-squeeze helps.

I've logged a bug:

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that.

I just need a working MIPS system so I can debug a libsndfile but that
is only on MIPS.

Cheers,
Erik

I'm wondering if this is related to the cups build issue that Andreas
Barth has been writing about here and on his blog

I think it would be nice if it could be tracked down

Fine, go ahead.  I spent days tracking down the openssh issue with
weird process hangs etc (cf this list's archives) before giving up.

With the overwhelming support for 'outdated architectures' from other
DDs (not on this list) in mind, I decided to go with {open,net}BSD
instead for my collection of ancient machines.

One  of things that makes support MIPS in debian difficult is the
lack of MIPS machines for DDs to test on.

Futhermore, bugs that aren't reported don't get fixed.

So you have been accepted as a DD in the meantime? congrats.

What exactly makes you think I didn't report this as a bug against
openssh?  Browse this list's archives to see what I invested to track
the problem down.

74 days after reporting I'm still waiting for the slightest reaction
from "Debian openssh maintainers" on Bug#537972.  A working sshd is
crucial for any machine accessed remotely.

This is no longer the Debian community I was proud to be part of.

Sure but in this case, this is a "generic" mips issue. As it already
happened in the past, PIE support in mips is only able to produce broken
binaries (bug #526961). While nobody can't be blamed for not having
fixed the binutils bugs, imho mips porters should have taken time to
look for debs built with PIE and report bugs against them. No need to
do a runtime test, it's "only" a matter of a 'grep' on build logs. I
would say (and I hope) that this was not only due to lack of time or
something like.

Obviously I was looking n the wrong direction when trying
to track down ssh-keygen segfaults.

Please merge with Bug#537972.

Thanks to Arnaud for pointing me in the right direction.
