The command "rrdtool list /some/dir/" fails on 32-bit arches at runtime
if those are running on huge discs, e.g. see failing "list1" testcase
on hppa:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=rrdtool&arch=hppa&ver=1.7.2-4%2Bb7&stamp=1671837818&raw=0

This can be fixed by building rrdtool with LFS (large file support).
Simply change in debian/rules this line (line 19):
export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+bindnow
to
export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+bindnow future=+lfs

Thanks,
Helge

proposed, but the `build i386` job still failed (it also failed without the
patch): https://salsa.debian.org/diederik/rrdtool/-/pipelines/479591

FTR: This is based on the 1.8.0 version which is in the repo, but not
released, but the failure is still in the "list1" testcase.
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=rrdtool&arch=hppa shows that a
new build on 2022-12-24 did succeed on hppa (without the patch) ...

Do you have more ideas as to what may be causing the build failure?

But it seems to fail differently for you
https://salsa.debian.org/diederik/rrdtool/-/jobs/3746600 :

  /builds/diederik/rrdtool/debian/output/source_dir/src/rrdtool list
FAILED: (rc=1) list without parameters displays Usage
FAIL list1 (exit status: 1)

this is from the rrdtool-1.7.2/tests/list1 script, which executes:

LC_ALL=C $RRDTOOL list | grep -c Usage

Can you maybe run it manually on i386 with strace?
This should give you some insight....

Thanks, I can take a look at that.

Then I have to learn how to set up a i386 chroot (or sth like that) and how to
run strace ... and do sth with its output. So I'll leave that for now.

My request/question was mostly in the hope that you'd have an instant "Oh
wait, then that must be it", which unfortunately isn't the case.

Cheers,

https://salsa.debian.org/rrdtool-team/rrdtool/-/merge_requests/4 contains the
changes I made to make Salsa's CI and thus the 'build i386' job succeed.
