Bug Description

Binary package hint: openarena

Due to incorrect use strcpy for the overlapping regions no bots are loaded (a specific errors at the bottom). This makes the whole single-player mode useless.

Bug has been solved in the development branch in version 0.8.1-7 by replacing incorrect strcpy uses with memmove function. The bug is contained within openarena package only (openarena-data is correct).

Please don't set the Ubuntu status to Fix Commited, when it obviously isn't (you are free to link to the commit though)!

Fix Committed indicates that a fix is available upstream, and lets the Ubuntu package maintainer/s know that they need to evaluate it for possible inclusion in Ubuntu as an SRU. Once it moves out of Ubuntu-proposed to Ubuntu-updates we set the bug status to Fix Released.

But whatever. I'm not affected by this bug so I don't care what you do. Set the status to whatever you want.

For potential testers I attach also updated deb file for openarena package. I confirmed that it solves the issue for me.

Deb is only for amd64 players but i386 ones are unaffected anyways.

eglibc in Debian has been updated and the same problem is present. I will look into preparing an update in Debian which can then be synced to Ubuntu.

Is there any chance to get this patch backported to Lucid? Without it, Open Arena is completely useless.

@amano
I agree it should be backported. Anyway, in the meantime You can check my build from the comment #8, for me it solved the issue.

Hi,

Please follow the stable release update procedure [1]. I think your
debdiff [2] needs at least two changes:

 · Add "(LP: #554748)" to the changelog entry so the bug is referenced,
 · the distribution in d/changelog should be "lucid-proposed" and the
 · version number should be 0.8.1-6ubuntu0.1 as explained on [3],
 · the patch in debian/patches could have a nicer name and include more
   meta-information in the header (see the one in Debian [4]).

Regards,
Ansgar
