Subject: proftpd: error loading module 'mod_lang.c'

Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 18:34:14 +0900

Package: proftpd
Version: 1.3.1-2
Severity: normal

Hello.
I have got a problem with proftpd.

I added the following line into /etc/proftpd/modules.conf.

LoadModule mod_lang.c

Then I couldn't start the ftp server proftpd.
The error messages are following.

$ /etc/init.d/proftpd restart
Stopping ftp server: proftpd.
Starting ftp server: proftpd - Fatal: LoadModule:
error loading module 'mod_lang.c': Permission denied
on line 28 of '/etc/proftpd/modules.conf'
 failed!

I found this bug during install gforge.
( gforge depends on proftpd indirectly. )
IMHO, the '--enable-nls' configure option may help, but I have not done.

Thank you.

The attached patch fixes this, by forcing the proftpd package build to compile the mod_lang module into proftpd statically. It turns out that due to the way the module has been written, it can't be dynamically loaded. As a result of this, the LoadModule mod_lang.c statement in the config file is not needed, if the package is built with this patch.

Changes: 
 proftpd-dfsg (1.3.1-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Disabled language support: currently only en_US is supported, so it is not that useful.
     It was wrongly compiled in as a DSO module, anyway. A configuration option --enable-nls
     should be used instead. Fixed modules.conf.
     (closes: #451747, #451090, #457178)
   * Commented out stacktrace support at configuration time.
   * Properly moved to debhelper compatibility 5.
   * Fixed clean rules to remove auto-generated files.
   * [Lintian] Fixed FSF address in debian/copyright file. This is a GPL2 or later program.
   * [Lintian] Spelling error adviced->advised fixed in README.Debian.
   * Added missing --oknodo at daemon startup in proftpd.init.
     (closes: #455562)
   * [debian/templates/basic.conf] Added an AuthOrder commented directive in default proftpd.conf template.
   * [debian/rules] Minor changes in script style.
