[Android-tools-devel] Bug#848852: adb command error with backtrace

[Senthil Kumaran S]

Package: adb
Version: 1:7.0.0+r1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I upgraded to the latest version of adb in my machine and while trying to use
adb command I get the following error:

<snip>
stylesen at harshu:~$ adb devices
adb: symbol lookup error: adb: undefined symbol: kFeatureShell2
stylesen at harshu:~$ sudo adb devices
adb: symbol lookup error: adb: undefined symbol: kFeatureShell2
stylesen at harshu:~$ sudo su
root at harshu:/home/stylesen# adb devices
adb: symbol lookup error: adb: undefined symbol: kFeatureShell2
root at harshu:/home/stylesen#
</snip>

The expected result is to start the adb daemon if it was not running and list
the devices attached, if any.

Alternatively, I tried adb within an LXC container, which throws a detailed
trace just for the first time adb gets started, as seen in this paste -
http://paste.debian.net/903367/

Also, I ve reproduced this bug with the help of LAVA (Linaro Automated
Validation Architecture) in stretch and sid. This does not occur in jessie. It
is reproducible consistently.

stretch:
  job - https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/158283.2
  error - https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/158283.2#L790

sid:
  job - https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/158283.0
  error - https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/158283.0#L802

jessie:
  job - https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/158283.1
  error - https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/158283.1#L772

Top level job - https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/158283

This also changes the behavior of adb command where, previously ie., as in case
of jessie the command exits with a 0 when the daemon is not started, but now
ie., as in case of stretch and sid the command exits with a 1.
