Hi William, I sincerely apologise for the delay.
Currently libunwind is stuck in -proposed due to benign autopkgtest regressions in the kernel packages. If you go to the below page: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html And search for "libunwind" you will see entries for Bionic and Focal. It is SRU policy to not release a package with current autopkgtest regressions. Now, I have spent more time than I am willing to admit on trying to debug these failures, and I have also asked the Kernel Team, several which took a look, and some Launchpad admins, and we are still a bit stuck. The problem does not reproduce locally, only on Launchpad builders. For example, take the 4.15 Bionic Kernel: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/l/linux/bionic/amd64 (it is a reverse dependency of libunwind, which is why it is selected for autopkgtest) https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest- bionic/bionic/amd64/l/linux/20230110_115614_09e98@/log.gz It rebuilds fine, but then runs into apt resolver trouble when running the kernel testsuite. autopkgtest makes a dummy package, that contains the list of necessary dependencies to run the testsuite, dpkg -i to install the package, and then does an apt install -f to force dependency resolution. The dummy package is called autopkgtest-satdep. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Cszfkvy47Z/ But it fails in strange ways, like not being able to select build- essential, even though it is already installed in the builder. I am still trying to debug the root cause behind these autopkgtest regressions, which is why things have been delayed. There is a provision in SRUs where they can be released as long as I can prove that the upload did not cause the regression: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Autopkgtest_Regressions In which case, I may as well invoke this clause, since I don't wish to keep you waiting any longer. I will try and get this package released within the week.

On i386 and amd64 this doesn't seem to be the case, and the libunwind handlers seem to be present. To fix, we only enable the configure option --enable-cxx-exceptions on i386 and amd64 only, in debian/rules. This lets other architectures fall back to the symbols provided by libgcc_s, which implementation works correctly. [Testcase] Ali Sadi has provided a reproducer program. Start an arm64 instance, for example, a c6g.medium instance on AWS, with either Bionic or Focal. $ wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libunwind/+bug/1999104/+attachment/5635122/+files/libunwind.tar.gz $ sudo apt install -y build-essential libunwind-dev $ tar xvf libunwind.tar.gz && cd test $ make all There are two executable, main and main_unwind. main is not linked to libunwind, and main_unwind is linked to libunwind. $ ./main int throws lib int caught main $ ./main_unwind terminate called after throwing an instance of 'int' terminate called recursively Aborted (core dumped) If you install the test package available in the following ppa: https://launchpad.net/~mruffell/+archive/ubuntu/sf350246-test $ make clean $ sudo apt install -y libunwind-dev $ make all $ ./main int throws lib int caught main $ ./main_unwind int throws lib int caught main The exception is caught as expected the program does not abort. [Where problems could occur] For architectures other than i386 and amd64, we are changing from libunwind provided exception handlers for __cxa_throw(), and using those provided by libgcc_s instead. There are a few reverse dependencies for libunwind-dev and libunwind8, which need to be considered: $ apt rdepends libunwind-dev libunwind-dev Reverse Depends: Depends: libunwind-setjmp0-dev (= 1.2.1-9build1) Depends: libefl-all-dev t$ apt rdepends libunwind-dev 8 libunwind8 Reverse Depends: Depends: libunwind-dev (= 1.2.1-9build1) Depends: xvfb Depends: xnest Depends: xdmx Depends: xwayland Depends: xserver-xorg-core Depends: xserver-xephyr Depends: linux-tools-5.4.0-* Depends: linux-raspi-tools-* Depends: linux-raspi2-tools-5.4.0-* Depends: linux-raspi2-5.4-tools-5.4.0-* Depends: linux-oracle-5.15-tools-5.15.0-* Depends: linux-lowlatency-hwe-5.15-tools-5.15.0-* Depends: linux-hwe-5.8-tools-5.8.0-* Depends: linux-hwe-5.15-tools-5.15.0-* Depends: linux-gke-tools-5.4.0-* Depends: linux-gke-5.15-tools-5.15.0-* Depends: linux-gcp-tools-5.4.0-* Depends: linux-gcp-5.15-tools-5.15.0-* Depends: linux-azure-tools-5.4.0-* Depends: linux-azure-5.15-tools-5.15.0-* Depends: linux-aws-tools-5.4.0-* Depends: linux-aws-5.8-tools-5.8.0-* Depends: linux-aws-5.15-tools-5.15.0-* Depends: xvfb Depends: xnest Depends: xdmx Depends: trafficserver Depends: tilix Depends: tigervnc-standalone-server Depends: tarantool Depends: sysprof Depends: rspamd Depends: libwine-development Depends: libwine Depends: libjulia1 Depends: libheaptrack Depends: libevas-loaders Depends: libephysics1 Depends: libeina1a Depends: libecore-imf1 Depends: julia Depends: geary Depends: gdnsd Depends: xwayland Depends: xserver-xorg-core Depends: xserver-xephyr Depends: libunwind-setjmp0 The reporter seems to be hitting the issue with mcrouter, built themselves, so we can likely skip no-change rebuilds of rdepends until we get actual complaints that a bug exists in those packages, to keep regression risk down. This does of course, leave the risk of regression to the future, especially during critical times, e.g. CVE fix.
