Apache :: mod_perl :: broken!

[Sabio Wise]

G'day,

Just did a usual update and now mod_perl breaks apache with a seg fault.

In /etc/apache/httpd.conf

 LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_perl.so

Commenting out the above line and apache works fine.


I've got installed:


/usr/bin/dpkg -l '*mod-perl*' | grep ^ii

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name   VersionDescription
+++-==-==-
ii  libapache-mod-perl 1.27-4 Integration of perl with the Apache web 
server
ii  libapache-mod-perl 1.29.0.1-1cvs20031 mod_perl documentation


An 'strace apache' shows:

open("/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.2/AutoLoader.pm", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT 
(No such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/lib/perl5/AutoLoader.pmc", 0xbfffb300) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or

_llseek(4, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR)= 0
read(4, "package AutoLoader;\n\nuse strict;"..., 4096) = 4096
read(4, " \'lib\').\n#\n\n(my $calldir"..., 4096) = 841
_llseek(4, 4936, [4936], SEEK_SET)  = 0
_llseek(4, 0, [4936], SEEK_CUR) = 0
close(4)= 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

Which is what lead me to look at mod_perl as the culprit ...

I'll be rebooting the box  Monday morning, as I'm connected to the
net via South Africa's telskum provider for the weekend @ 7 Rand
if there's no interruption.  Hopefully a reboot will fix it, probably
not though as this ain't no wincrap box, but you never know. 
Any how this stuff really should not happen in testing, or should it?

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Sabio

Bug#225201: upgrade-reports: glibc upgrade causes apt-get dist-upgrade to remove many packages

[Junichi Uekawa]

Hmm..  this is rather unhelpful.

I've got a vague feeling that this might be caused by 
'locales' package.

Advice on usb pendrive purchase

[Glen Snyder]

I've used a cheapie from MicroAdvantage. I don't think there is any
problem with brands. You need to edit fstab in order to mount and
unmount the drive, you also need scsi support and usb-storage support.
See:
http://www.extremetech.com/print_article/0,3998,a=59292,00.asp
or if you want a pdf version:
http://www.vanginderachter.be/docs/tech/unix/linux/mountusbstick.pdf
The instructions are for RH, but work fine with Sarge. I never bothered
to make the bash script to automatically mount and unmount the drive.

Best of luck.
