in order to install a webalizer upgrade, i first downloaded 40upgrade.tgz and run pkg_add 40upgrade.tgz *a few times*. After that, wget will fail with a core dump, and i can no longer ftp or telnet from other machines to this host. i have killall -HUP inetd a few times. from /var/log/messages: ---snip-- Oct 15 16:24:09 wwwftp /kernel: pid 68960 (wget), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped) Oct 15 16:54:12 wwwftp /kernel: pid 69192 (fetch), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped) Oct 15 17:07:24 wwwftp /kernel: pid 69239 (telnetd), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped) Fix: reboot??

Similar here. Two machines, each running 4.0R installed from CD set. Some ports installed from CD1 and working happily, no cvsup upgrades, no additional software added or upgraded from compiled sources. Downloaded 40upgrade.tgz this morning (12 hours ago) and pkg_add to both. Then added two packages (binaries) to each machine, downloaded from www.freebsd.org/ports libslang-1.4.2 (an earlier version was already installed) urlview On one of the two similar machines, I also installed the mutt-1.2.5 package. After this, trouble began. Existing tcp/ip connections seemed fine, but new telnet and ftp attempts failed, both in and out. netstat stopped working (in both direcctions), so did w, arp, and mutt-generated connections to a pop3 server. But nslookup, ping, traceroute and ps still worked fine, and the machine which had apache installed still happily served pages to remote visitors. I've got enough cores here to start an orchard. Here's a sample of what happens: (vimutti is the affected system) sue@vimutti$ uname -a FreeBSD vimutti.welearn.com.au 4.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Aug 24 19:40:20 EST 2000 root@vimutti.welearn.com.au:/usr/src/sys/compile/VIMUTTI i386 sue@vimutti$ telnet phoenix phoenix: No address associated with hostname sue@vimutti$ ftp phoenix Bad system call (core dumped) sue@vimutti$ telnet phoenix smtp phoenix: No address associated with hostname sue@vimutti$ telnet phoenix 80 phoenix: No address associated with hostname sue@vimutti$ ssh phoenix Bad system call sue@vimutti$ netstat Active Internet connections Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) Bad system call sue@vimutti$ sue@vimutti$ ping -c 3 phoenix PING phoenix.welearn.com.au (203.35.200.139): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 203.35.200.139: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=1.187 ms 64 bytes from 203.35.200.139: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=1.106 ms 64 bytes from 203.35.200.139: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=1.094 ms --- phoenix.welearn.com.au ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.094/1.129/1.187/0.041 ms -- Regards, -*Sue*-
Fixed one machine. I didn't think a reboot would help, so I tried to reverse the changes to files in /usr/lib by replacing with files from CD2. This resulted in a forced reboot of a confused system, finishing the upgrade-reversal in single user mode, and coming up fine after that. Does it work because I replaced all those new files with the old ones, or the reboot, or both? Dunno. I've got my machine back. I hope nobody else gets trapped without the CD.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Package removed, thanks.
