Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
When loading HDF5 files with simple strings in them, the Octave
interpreter crashes. The issue can be reproduced with
apt install octave python3-h5py
python3 -c "import h5py, numpy; f = h5py.File('outfile.hdf5', 'w');
f.create_dataset('scan/date', data=numpy.string_('Mon Jun 18 03:34:30 2018'));
f.close()"
octave-cli --eval "load outfile.hdf5"
The problem was reported upstream at
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?58268
and an upstream patch is available at
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/9646d752c76c
Here's an MR on Salsa which adds the upstream patch to the Debian
package:
