Subject: upx-ucl-beta: broken on 64-bit systems

Package: upx-ucl-beta
Version: 1:1.94+0.20051022cvs-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

upx is broken on debian-amd64. For example, on "upx -d somefile" it reports

upx: util.h:71: int ptr_diff(const T*, const T*) [with T = unsigned char]: Assertion `(int)d == d' failed.
Aborted

The very same command works fine on debian-i386.

Thanks for your report.
I've just uploaded new CVS snapshot of upx-ucl-beta
(1.94+0.20051214cvs-1). Could you please check if the problem still
exists in that version?

BTW. I'm wondering if the upx-ucl package has the same bug. I would be
grateful it you could test it also.

Best Regards
robert

It fails to be build from sources on amd64 with the following error:

g++ -O2 -g -DWITH_UCL -o packmast.o -c packmast.cpp
packmast.cpp: In function 'Packer* try_packers(InputFile*, Packer* (*)(Packer*, InputFile*))':

upx-ucl works OK.

I've just uploaded 1:1.94+0.20051214cvs-2, which fixes the error. The
patch is very simple, I'm attaching it in case you didn't want to wait
for autobuilders and recompile the package yourself.

Please check if this version works for you on amd64.
It seems the upstream has added support for native amd64 executables,
could you also please test it?

OK, that's great.

No. It reports:

upx: util.h:71: int ptr_diff(const T*, const T*) [with T = unsigned char]: Assertion `(int)d == d' failed.
Aborted

Thanks.

I tried the command on pergolesi.debian.org (an amd64 machine accessible
for Debian developers), but can't reproduce that error.
I.e. I can pack the file, unpack it without any problems, but when I try
to run the command after packing with upx, it fails with a segmentation
fault.

It needs more investiations, but I can't do this until the first week of
January.

Best Regards,
robert
