[Pkg-d-devel] Bug#857085: terminix FTBFS on armhf: Error executing /usr/bin/ldc2: Segmentation fault

[Matthias Klumpp]

Regarding the issue: The cause for it remains elusive to me. There is
a bug happening on Debian's i386 buildds which apparently is the same
thing that's happening on the armhf architecture, but I failed to
reproduce it locally (built LDC 8 times in a row in a pristine Sid
chroot with no failure, while it always FTBFS in Debian unstable).

I have no idea on what could cause the bug, I did even read the LDC
code section where this issue occurs a few times to check for some
potential 64bit <-> 32bit fallacies but the code looks fine to me. I
don't really know how to debug this further. The most puzzling thing
is that this particular bug seems to be Debian specific, as no other
distro shipping LDC has this issue (no issue in Fedora, OpenSUSE,
etc.).

As soon as there is a solution to this issue, I think I could upload
LDC, Tilix, and AppStream Generator as well as their dependencies to
Stretch backports.

Cheers,
