Package: python-milter Version: 1.0-1 Severity: normal Hi,
python-milter compilation seems to have been broken at some time during the
jessie cycle, and
since it hasn't been recompiled since then, it is still statically compiled
against libmilter
on most architectures.
See:
$ ldd /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/milter.so
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd87b9f000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
(0x00007efcf3d72000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007efcf39c9000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007efcf41a9000)
(There should be also a libmilter.so.1.0.1 in there)
The problems are:
1. python-milter would not pick up security updates of libmilter.
2. python-milter actually _did not_ pick up the last changes in libmilter,
including the
socket activation patch added to make systemd socket activation possible
(that's how I found this).
So socket activation works if you write a C program using smfi_setconn(), but
does not work using
a python program with milter.setconn().
However, the build problem seems to have been fixed somehow already, if I
recompile in an up-to-date
sid, python-milter picks up the libmilter dependency just fine, so I guess
python-milter
only needs a binNMU to fix the binary packages in sid (and then testing).
I don't know if this warrants a fix in stable, it is quite annoying, but is
most likely not
a big problem (until there is a security hole in libmilter). If I recompile in
an up-to-date
stable chroot, it also picks up the dependency, so also in stable a binNMU
should fix it.
Cheers,
Mika
