http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1040046 Bug ID: 1040046 Summary: compress binary produces garbled compressed data Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: pjoh@bahnhof.se QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- The compress binary provided in package ncompress-4.2.4.4 with Tumbleweed and a number of recent stable distributions produces garbled compressed data that cannot be decompressed. I can compile a binary that gives (exactly) the same garbled data by compiling it with the wrong byte order. Note the flag -DBYTEORDER=1234: cc -o compress -DDIRENT=1 -DSYSDIR=1 -DUTIME_H=1 -DUSERMEM=800000 -DREGISTERS=20 -DIBUFSIZ=1024 -DOBUFSIZ=1024 -DBYTEORDER=1234 "-DCOMPILE_DATE=\"`date`\"" compress42.c (produces garbled compressed data) Reversing the byte order, cc -o compress -DDIRENT=1 -DSYSDIR=1 -DUTIME_H=1 -DUSERMEM=800000 -DREGISTERS=20 -DIBUFSIZ=1024 -DOBUFSIZ=1024 -DBYTEORDER=4321 "-DCOMPILE_DATE=\"`date`\"" compress42.c (produces correct compressed data) or using the provided build shell script gives a correct binary, that produces correct data. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
