Package: file Version: 1:5.30-1+deb9u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Please create an empty ELF shared object like this (needs libc6-dev): $ gcc -shared -nostdlib -o dummy.so -Wl,--as-needed -lc Now dummy.so has no program headers: $ readelf -h dummy.so | fgrep program Start of program headers: 0 (bytes into file) Size of program headers: 0 (bytes) Number of program headers: 0 And file doesn't like this: $ file dummy.so dummy.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), corrupted program header size, not stripped Sure, the program header size isn't the expected 56 bytes, but since there are zero of them, this really shouldn't matter and isn't a sign of corruption. Here is a similar issue concerning section headers as well: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=109509 Looks like RedHat hasn't upstreamed the fix. And a related toolchain issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/elftoolchain/tickets/550/ Please consider fixing this. -- Thanks, Feri. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable-debug APT policy: (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages file depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libmagic1 1:5.30-1+deb9u1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 file recommends no packages. file suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
