[SNIP]
We indeed need to track this issue. I'm suspecting this problem
triggered a bug in ffmpeg that was recently built with this version.
Here is a list of package built since the 19/10 for f16 with this
problematic glibc:
mythtv
mp3gain
ffmpeg
mame
freetype-freeworld
I will take care of the rebuilt with the new glibc -14 in override,
and thoses build will replace the previous version in the GA
repository.
I will also rebuilt every kmod with the kernel from (dist-)f16.
Nicolas,
Are you just going to force a rebuild or are you going to increment
the release tag? If you're planning on doing the latter, please copy
(or merge) the changelog for MythTV as I put inportant information for
those already running F16 as the service is changing from Sysv to
systemd and will no longer run mythbackend as root.
Thanks,
Richard
