Package: linux-image-2.6-amd64 Version: 2.6.32+29 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
With Linux 2.6.32 as supplied with Debian Squeeze, Netatalk is unable to thrive. Connections made to afpd will open, but attempting to transfer files will take a very long time and/or eventually time out. I've noted this with both Netatalk as supplied with Squeeze and with Netatalk 2.2.1 built from the Wheezy source package, which I evidently need for AFP 3 support. Installing Linux 3.2 from backports, with no other changes to the system, allows afpd to work correctly. I hit on the idea of trying this after installing a Fedora 16 system to compare performance and to try to isolate the issue. Fedora 16 uses a newer kernel. As it stands, Netatalk is unusable in Squeeze without a newer kernel. I assume this to be an issue with the kernel that can be addressed and corrected for the next minor release, and I'd be happy to help try to isolate it and test any correction that's devised. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages linux-image-2.6-amd64 depends on: ii linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 2.6.32-41 Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs linux-image-2.6-amd64 recommends no packages. linux-image-2.6-amd64 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
