Bug#500743: Segmentation fault in running bind9

Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.5.0.dfsg.P2-1
Severity: important

syslog.log
Sep 30 23:23:54 derek kernel: [791273.512364] named[2244]: segfault at dededef2 ip b7eaad0e sp b7549f90
error 7 in libdns.so.43.0.1[b7e40000+141000]

I use bind9 running locally on my desktop box as the local recursive
resolver. Although this box has some unusual history (ran sid) as far as I can
ascertain it is running correct version of bind9 and libraries for
lenny. The bind9 config is relatively straight forward, and close to the
Debian default, with addition of some local authoritative zones.

Twice recently bind9 has stopped, dumping two core files in
/var/cache/bind. On both occasions problems were seen resolving some names
(reporting timeouts) immediately before the crash.

-rw------- 1 bind bind 58179584 2008-09-30 23:23 core.2243
-rw------- 1 bind bind 43302912 2008-09-22 19:58 core.2463

On one occasion I immediately ran "rndc dumpdb" when I encountered
issues with name resolution, and the crash took place a few seconds
after the database was written to /var/cache/bind/named_dump.db

-rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind    81933 2008-09-30 23:20 named_dump.db

Please advise if this information would be useful in diagnosing bind
issues.

or gpr? iirc it does make use of PPDs as well.
Will try.

Bug#409151: Fixed upstream

This seems fixed upstream: 
http://www.dirvish.org/viewvc/dirvish_1_2_1/dirvish.pl?r1=16&r2=15

...in 2005?  Can it be reproduced with current upstream and/or current 
Debian packaging?

It's time to boot, do your boot ROMs know where your disk controllers are?

Bug#500744: qa.debian.org: no more popcon graph since move of people.debian.org

Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

Since move of p.d.o to a new machine [1], popcon graph are "404 Not Found" [2].

Those reports was hosted on Ian "igloo" Lynagh account on p.d.o for a long time and I would like
to thanks him for this service.
But, IMHO, thoses graphs should be directly hosted on qa.debian.org machine to avoid
this kind of unavailability and to keep things related together.

Regards,

Since the dstat 0.6.8 release this code was released. So again, I think 
this bug should be closed and reopened if some new information appears.

Bug#500745: zsh-beta: Tab completion looking for /etc/init.d/program

Package: zsh-beta
Version: 4.3.6-dev-0+20080929-1
Severity: important

Hi!

With the new zsh-beta package, the Tab completion seems to be broken:

$ reportbug z[TAB]
$ reportbug z
_init_d:17: no such file or directory: /etc/init.d/reportbug

$ ls [TAB]
$ ls 
_init_d:17: no such file or directory: /etc/init.d/ls

$ cd [TAB]
$ cd 
_init_d:17: no such file or directory: /etc/init.d/cd

Thank you!

Best regards,
Nelson

Bug#500746: feature request: use pre-existing schroot or run early script hook

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.57.5-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hello!  I'd like to have the ability to run commands within the chroot
before building.  In a perfect world, I could specify a pre-existing
chroot snapshot (one already started with schroot -b -c ....), and then
I could open the chroot, run commands, run sbuild, and then destroy the
chroot myself.  I imagine this looking like so:

$ CMDS=$(mktemp -t cmds-XXXXXX)
$ echo "stuff to run...." > "$CMDS"
$ CHROOT=$(schroot -b -c unstable-i386)
$ schroot -u root -r -c "$CHROOT" "$CMDS"
$ rm -f "$CMDS"
$ sbuild -d unstable -c "$CHROOT" -A somepkg.dsc
$ schroot -e -c "$CHROOT"

However, sbuild doesn't know how to look up this schroot nor to skip
initialization, etc.

Without this, I thought perhaps I could just run a script before starting
the build.  However, the sbuild options aren't passed into the environment
anywhere, so in this example hack^Wpatch, I'm just passing the arguments
I happened to need for my script.

-Kees
