That doesn't work for me: # apt-get source sysvinit=3.06-2 Reading package lists... Done E: You must put some 'deb-src' URIs in your sources.list Adding this to /etc/apt/sources.list doesn't help (same error): deb-src http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ sid main Running "apt-get update", I see: W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/source/Sources' as repository 'http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports sid InRelease' does not seem to provide it (sources.list entry misspelt?) So I might not be pointing to the right source repository. Would downloading the source from an x86 repository be sufficient, or do I need patches that are specific to m68k? > > To add compile options, look at the patches in debian/patches/ there - > haven't found the 3.06-2 version, but older versions have a patch to add > additional CFLAGS to src/Makefile.

Just to confirm that an earlier version (3.01-2) doesn't cause the stack smashing errors with an otherwise up-to-date Debian SID, I can restore from an earlier backup and run "apt-get upgrade", though I would want to "keep back" sysvinit-core 3.01-2 and sysvinit-utils 3.01-2. Please let me know how to keep back a package from being upgraded. Do you know whether there is some location where all of the older binary packages are saved? If there is, I can download and check versions between 3.01-2 and 3.06-2 and determine where the issue started. thanks -Stan
