[Pkg-erlang-devel] Bug#591431: erlang 14.a breaks ejabberd

[Marc Dequènes (Duck)]

Package: erlang-base
Version: 1:14.a-dfsg-1
Severity: grave


Coin,

I just installed ejabberd on Squeeze, and found the server  
initialization fail, leaving it unusuable. The message in the log was:
=ERROR REPORT==== 2010-08-03 01:30:28 ===
Error in process <0.258.0> on node 'ejabberd at Thorfinn.duckcorp.org'  
with exit value:  
{badarg,[{erlang,register,[asn1_driver_owner,<0.258.0>]},{asn1rt_driver_handler,init,2}]}
=ERROR REPORT==== 2010-08-03 01:30:28 ===
Error in process <0.259.0> on node 'ejabberd at Thorfinn.duckcorp.org'  
with exit value:  
{badarg,[{erlang,register,[asn1_driver_owner,<0.259.0>]},{asn1rt_driver_handler,init,2}]}
=ERROR REPORT==== 2010-08-03 01:30:28 ===
Error in process <0.260.0> on node 'ejabberd at Thorfinn.duckcorp.org'  
with exit value:  
{badarg,[{erlang,register,[asn1_driver_owner,<0.260.0>]},{asn1rt_driver_handler,init,2}]}

I downgraded to 1:13.b.4-dfsg-6 and it solved the problem. I then saw  
erlang-base still provides erlang-abi-13.a, but for sure something  
changed in the API/ABI, and it may be the cause of the problem.

Regards.
