Hi All,

Moved my system from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04, the move was mostly uneventful. Only wrinkle I encountered so far has been with gnmsgid.

On Ubuntu 22.04:

$ SEQDIR="/home/ubuntu/fido/seq"
$ export SEQDIR
$ gnmsgid
693e0026


On Ubuntu 24.04:

$ SEQDIR="/home/ubuntu/fido/seq"
$ export SEQDIR
$ gnmsgid
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)

$ gnmsgid -seqdir /tmp
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)

$ gnmsgid -seqdir /tmp/
693e043a

$ SEQDIR="/home/ubuntu/fido/seq/"
$ export SEQDIR
$ gnmsgid
693e0470


So it seems on Ubuntu 24.04 you need a trailing / when specifying seqdir either on the command line or via environment variable.

Confirmed. A fresh husky installation just for testing:

tommi@wox:~/husky$ gnmsgid -seqdir .
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)
tommi@wox:~/husky$ gnmsgid -seqdir ./
