Source: faketime Version: debian/0.9.10+2024-06-05+gba9ed5b2-0.2 Affects: gem2deb Severity: serious Justification: Prevents testing migration
The gem2deb autopkgtest is failing with the new version of faketime. There's a BUG complaint from, I think, the libc, in pthread_cond_destroy. The most relevant changes in libfaketime seem to me to be that the test for `initialized` has been hoisted into ftpl_init. I looked at the code and if faked functions are run from multiple threads, the core of ftpl_init could run twice concurrently. Looking at it, it obviously isn't sound against that. I intend to develop a patch to change this to use sound locking techniques and/or atomics. But that will probably not happen right away.
