[OCLUG-Tech] debian libc.so.6 update & ucspi-tcp, daemontools, djbdns, qmail

Hi folks,

Just a quick warning to various debian users of djb's works.
(ucspi-tcp, daemontools, djbdns, qmail, etc...).

As of a recent glibc update, the errno patches are needed. GRR!

Here's a quickfix how-to:

$ cd /path/to/src/
$ grep errno *.h

	extern int errno;

	needs to change to

	#include <errno.h>

$ make
# make setup check

Or you can apply the various {package}.errno.patch files you find.
Editing the errno.h files by hand is almost as fast... YMMV.

Cheers!
-Phil
