[INFO] Debian Etch and Weathermap segmentation fault fix

[mastrboy]

There is a libgd2-xpm issue in Debian Etch (stable) at the moment, so here is the fix for you other guys than me having problems:

- Get libgd2-xpm_2.0.34-1_i386.deb from the unstable repository
- Install via dpkg --force-depends -i libgd2-xpm_2.0.34-1_i386.deb
- Restart apache server
- Yeaa it works..

I also submitted a bug report to debian so hope it will be fixed soon:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=426517

edit:
just testet the package from testing: libgd2-xpm_2.0.34~rc1-2_i386.deb
it seems to work to, so you don't have the get the unstable package.

Hi everyone.

mastrboy solution works, but aptitude is not happy when you want to install others packages or security updates :

Code: Select all

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libgd2-xpm: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-5) but 2.3.6.ds1-13 is installed and it is kept back.

As I manage a dozen of debian cacti servers, I thought that backporting libgd2-xpm from testing to Etch would be usefull and I've just done it today. Since Mastrboy post, libgd2-xpm has been updated to 2.0.35 in Lenny, so I backported it instead of 2.0.34.

I tested it on a vmware server and on my test server, and Weathermap works fine. I'm about to deploy it on production servers.
The .deb has been built from Lenny libgd2-xpm 2.0.35.dfsg-1 on a up to date Etch system.
Download and gunzip the file (forum doesn't allow .deb attachment)
Install it as root user with "dpkg -i libgd2-xpm_2.0.35.dfsg-1_i386.deb" and restart apache with "apache2ctl restart" (or "apachectl restart" if you use Apache v1.x).
Please report if you find anything which is not working, but I think it is unlikely as I did not change anything in the source files.

Works perfect, no need to force dependencies with 2.0.34

Thank you

[Exo7]

thanks for your report. I've successfully deployed it on 2 new servers without a problem too.

Fantastic - works for me too.
