Subject: aide segfaults without reason from yesterday to today on amd64

Package: aide
Version: 0.10-6.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

My aide stops working from yesterday to today and throws a sig11 at me for no
reason on my amd64 box. I supply the strace output, so you can hopefully look
at it and fix it.

severity #347868 important
thanks

This doesn't render the package unuseable for everybody.

Most probably, your database or your configuration file has been
corrupted somehow. Does aide --init work?

No. It segfaults too. I deleted the two databases and reinstalled aide.
Same error :(

Hmmm.

(a) Can you submit your complete configuration?
(b) Does aide --verbose=255 --init give something one can work with?
(c) Back up your configuration, purge aide, reinstall (now you have
    the default config). If aide works then, there is something wrong
    with your configuration. It is _important_ that you'll back up
    your configuration first.

Greetings
Marc

Subject: debug with gdb

Hi,
are you able to provide a backtrace using gdb?
Steve Kemp recently gave a short introduction on how to do
this.
Read it here:
