[Solved] DO NOT UPDATE TO LATEST libxau6 PACKAGE!!!
 

causes inifinte boot loop - i rechecked twice to make sure this is the package that causes this.

Who made this update and what's it for?

I thoughtlessly installed it. -- And it didn't cause me any problems. Sometimes installing something simply activates a disaster you already have waiting.

I also update it, I had 3 reboots there is normally lit my n900, but I hope the next reboot no recurrence of the problem.

someone else had this problem to report it and correct it?

Just did the update together with busybox and bootmenu.
everything OK, no problems at all,
after reading this thread, I rebooted 3 times without any problems.

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...meego1141+0m6/ - doesn't have a maintainer and has "meego" in version string... and, what's worse it's again the situation when a package in extras-devel have the same name as package from "Maemo 5 device root filesystem" nad SSU repositories... (reminds me of SDL_mixer, which might also break something after installation). Are you sure it didn't cause conflicts with other packages, e.g. maemo-fremantle-pr? Did you install by ham, fam, apt-get, fapt-get?

Re: DO NOT UPDATE TO LATEST libxau6 PACKAGE!!!
 

i installed by 'apt-get update' as i always do...

Re: DO NOT UPDATE TO LATEST libxau6 PACKAGE!!!
 

strange, I uploaded this and added myself as the maintainer, don't know why I'm not the maintainer.

I compiled this as a build-depend for other libs needed for meego.

It's devel after all...
Has anyone beside impeham experienced any problems?

Re: DO NOT UPDATE TO LATEST libxau6 PACKAGE!!!
 

Did you consider using different name? ;) it looks like whole lot of other software now depends on it and even simple update of psx emulator or even apt-get update with extras-devel enabled (i guess we all have xserver-xorg-core package) will install this one... if extra functions are needed only for meego and the package itself is in Maemo core, it could always be called e.g. libaux-power (busybox-power, kernel-power, etc. ;)) and have "provides" and "replaces" flags set in debian config file. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but pushing to extras-devel package with exact same name as a package in other repo is plain wrong :)

edit: i still have osso version installed, so can't help you with testing, if i update (in case it will get pushed with some other updates), i will let you know here in this thread.

Nice security hole if it does reboot loop for some (even without, was wondering if Nokia started upgrading packages from 2 years ago seeing this go live)
