[Bug 231471] New: X86-64 vacation program is incompatible with 32-bit version
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231471 Summary: X86-64 vacation program is incompatible with 32-bit version Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: R.Vickers@cs.rhul.ac.uk QAContact: qa@suse.de The i686 version of the vacation program creates a database that cannot be read by the x86-64 version, and vice versa. This creates a problem if your mail server is a different architecture from the system you do your work on. To reproduce, run vacation -I -F on a 32-bit system then vacation -l on a 64-bit system [if you don't have a shared home directory then copy vacation.db between the two steps]. The error message vacation: .vacation.db: Invalid argument is produced and the program does not work. A workround is to copy /usr/bin/vacation from a 32-bit system to the 64-bit one. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Please create vacation data bases only on that server which is used for running vacation for notifying. The problem is: There is currently now free data base library which is 32/64 bit clean _and_ also safe against little and big endianess. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 56837 *** -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
