Subject: alpine: implicit pointer conversions

Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2007 13:42:16 -0700

Package: alpine
Version: 0.81+dfsg-1
Severity: important

Our automated buildd log filter[1] detected a problem that will cause
your package to segfault on architectures where the size of a pointer
is greater than the size of an integer, such as ia64 and amd64.

This is often due to a missing function prototype definition.

Dan, I ran the code at [1] against a build log of Alpine upstream 0.82 
<ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/alpine/alpine-0.82.tar.gz>.  Can you verify 
for me that if the Python code in question gives no output, then I can 
close this bug?

Thanks!

Version: 0.83+dfsg-1

These warnings are gone in the latest Alpine (0.83), so I'm closing this 
bug.  If there are different 64-bit problems, let me know.

If the same problem persists and I'm dumb for closing this, please reply 
to this bug.

Thanks for filing it!  I think that this entry in the Debian bug tracker 
may be the reason upstream fixed it. (-:
