Bug#1008591: nvidia-openjdk-8-jre: java binary depending on non-available libc version in Debian Bullseye

Tue Mar 29 09:28:46 BST 2022

Package: nvidia-openjdk-8-jre
Version: 9.+8u312-b07-1~11.2.2-3+deb11u1

Hello,

When using the latest version of the nvidia-openjdk-8-jre package in Debian Bullseye (9.+8u312-b07-1~11.2.2-3+deb11u1) I receive the following error when executing the "java" command:

debian at hostname:~$ java -version
Error: dl failure on line 894
Error: failed /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so, because /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so)

The above error message hints that the java binary now depends on GLIBC_2.32. However, when looking at the package dependencies it lists a dependency in libc6 >= 2.29:

I am currently running an up-to-date Debian Bullseye installation:

So I am running the latest version of the libc package which appears to be 2.31:

debian at hostname:~$ ls -l /lib/*/libc.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Mar 17 21:37 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.31.so

debian at hostname:~$ apt show libc6 | grep ^Version

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

Version: 2.31-13+deb11u3

For additional testing purposes, I have removed the 9.+8u312-b07-1~11.2.2-3+deb11u1 version of the package and installed a previous version (9.+8u292-b10-3~11.2.2-3) which I obtained from the Debian snapshot project using following URL: https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20210724T084841Z/pool/non-free/n/nvidia-cuda-toolkit/nvidia-openjdk-8-jre_9.%2B8u292-b10-3%7E11.2.2-3_amd64.deb
I know this version works as I have it still in an internal Aptly repository, however it seems that that package recently has been removed from the official Debian repositories

5: Verify that java is working again:

debian at hostname:~$ which java
/usr/bin/java
debian at hostname:~$ ls -alh /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Mar 28 07:14 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java
debian at hostname:~$ ls -alh /etc/alternatives/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Mar 28 07:14 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
debian at hostname:~$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_292"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_292-8u292-b10-3-b10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.292-b10, mixed mode)

I believe that the latest version of the nvidia-openjdk-8-jre package has been compiled with a higher libc version than the one which is available in the official Debian Bullseye repositories and I suppose the fix would be to re-compile the package with a lower libc version in order to ensure compatibility.

I hope the above provides adequate information to verify and resolve this bug. However, if additional information is required, please let me know!

Kind Regards,

Peter
