Package: qemu-user Version: 1.0.1+dfsg-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/qemu-i386
Dear Maintainer, When using qemu-i386 to run any program that tries to fork, the fork fails, making many (perhaps most) programs unusable. Here is an example (host is i386, so no chroot needed): $ qemu-i386 /bin/bash $ ls bash: fork: Invalid argument $ exit exit The expected behavior, of course, would be for ls to actually be executed. Note that qemu-arm does not exhibit this bug, nor does qemu-i386 system. (On i386, this bug doesn't hurt the usablility of this package, since it is easier and faster to just run the program natively. But on other architectures, this bug is a problem. In particular, one might want, for example, to run WINE under qemu-i386 since it doesn't work on other architectures.) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages qemu-user depends on: ii libc6 2.13-32 ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.3-1 qemu-user recommends no packages.
