[Bug 1009536] Re: Ubuntu 12.04/7.0.24/ Seti at home

[Steffen Möller]

Hello, after rereading about that SETI issue I have to admit that my
answer was wrong. Jonathan was right by pointing out that the SETI
scientific app seeks older symbolic libraries.

This what it should look like

$ ldd `dpkg -L boinc-app-seti | grep setiathome`
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff73b71000)
        libboinc_api.so.7 => /usr/lib/libboinc_api.so.7 (0x00007f1d8825f000)
        libfftw3f.so.3 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfftw3f.so.3 (0x00007f1d87e5c000)
        libssl.so.1.0.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 (0x00007f1d87bfd000)
        libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (0x00007f1d87819000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f1d87512000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f1d8728f000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f1d87079000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f1d86e5d000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f1d86ad5000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f1d868d1000)
        libz.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 (0x00007f1d866ba000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f1d8849a000)

$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/libboinc_api.so.7
boinc-dev: /usr/lib/libboinc_api.so.7

$ dpkg -l boinc-dev|grep boinc-dev|awk '{print $2,$3}'
boinc-dev 7.0.27+dfsg-5

This is the boinc client from Debian Wheezy (testing) and boinc-app-seti
just uploaded to sid (unstable). 7.0.27 should work for about
everything. 7.0.33 is still in the Debian new queue, with the ftpmaters
uncertain if they should let it in because of an uncertain transition to
testing in those last freeze days. I am still hoping for it. 7.0.34 is
in the git repository for the unfrozen Ubuntu to adopt. Works for me.

Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04/7.0.24/ Seti at home

Status in “boinc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “boinc” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  We already had a bug opened for this issue. But it was marked as "fix
  released" (I don't know why as no change ever happened to the
  repository package)

  The Boinc package (7.0.24....precise1) in the 12.04 Ubuntu repository
  doesn't work for seti at home, it just produces "computation errors".

  The package needs to be changed, perhaps to Debians SID 7.0.27, or
  backported from Quantal if that package has been confirmed to be in
  good working order.

  Currently, 12.04/seti at home and lhc at home users are still unable to run
  Boinc without using the PPA alternatives.

  [Edited for clarity]

  
  Please SRU

  [Impact]
  This bug affects all users of Precise attempting to run Boinc 7.0.24 for the Seti at home project.

  [Test case]
  Bug can be reproduced by installing Boinc 7.0.24 in Ubuntu 12.04 and connecting to the seti at home project.
  Downloaded work-units will instantly error upon attempting to run. In other words the Boinc package currently in the precise repository is unusable for Seti at home, and a couple others.

  [Regression Potential]
  Quantal has had it's version of boinc changed to 7.0.27 from Debian SID. As far as I'm aware it fixes this bug.
  7.0.27 has many upstream fixes for several issues, I think that the change may bring a few new bugs, but should fix far more issues than it causes, again the current package is unusable for one of the largest projects running on Boinc.
