[arch-general] About user signoffs
by Denis A. Altoé Falqueto 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Hi all. I would like to know how can we, common and lay users, give signoffs on the packages that we use in testing. I know that arch-public-dev is read only for non developpers and I would like to help too. Can we send the signoffs in this list? Thanks in advance. -- ------------------------------------------- Denis A.

[arch-general] libreadline.so issues
by Samuel Baldwin 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

The other day I tried to install K3B on my x86_64 laptop, and midway through it I got some errors, so I ran pacman -Sy k3b and it got about midway through before I started getting error messages about the computer not being able to find libreadline.so. I use zsh as my shell for my normal user, but bash for root, and I couldn't login as root anymore. I shutdown the machine (sudo worked, thankfully, but not sudo -s), but now when I boot I get errors when it tries to enter runlevel 3 (I haven't played with any runlevel stuff): /bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory INIT: Entering runlvel: 3 /bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I could just wipe / and start over, but I'd prefer to find a better way to deal with this. I haven't installed anything on my desktop (x86_64 as well) for fear this is will trash that machine as well. Any suggestions? -- Samuel 'Shardz' Baldwin - staticfree.info/~samuel

[arch-general] AUR Search
by Andrei Thorp 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Hello there! Today, I'd like to be all complainy about the AUR search feature. I haven't really looked around, but are there plans to improve it? Or is the solution just "use google with site://"? It seems to be kind of bad at finding stuff. Some examples: - Can't search by description (well, it does search by description by default, but it's not in the advanced options anywhere) - Can't really do any decent multi-word searches afaik. To take an example from the other argument thread, try searching for "java gstreamer". It finds neither gstreamer-java nor java-gstreamer. It actually finds nothing at all. - Similarly, wildcards seem to not work. "java*gstreamer" has no results. - It seems to not even do exact matches first. For example, search for my package, "sup". There is a package in AUR that's exactly named "sup", but if you search for that, you get 658 results, sorted alphabetically! - Which reminds me, what about sorting by relevance somehow? Perhaps sort by a weighting of votes, age, downloads, etc. I'm sorry if I'm bringing this up as someone's already writing improvements for AUR and this is just a waste of time :) Anyway, thanks! -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp.

[arch-general] SIGSEGV in getopt, libc-problem?
by clemens fischer 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

For a few days now I noticed some programs not working, like "lzma" or "xz" from the "xz-utils". They segfault and "xz --help" says: $ /usr/bin/xz --help /usr/bin/xz: unrecognized option '--' /usr/bin/xz: Try `/usr/bin/xz --help' for more information. So I went to compile the original source, and the gdb(1) backtrace shows them to die in "_getopt_internal()". I thought my system to be inconsistent somehow, because a friend reports these programs working. I already re-installed the package. It gets its libs from archlinux package locations: $ ldd /usr/bin/xz linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb80a4000) liblzma.so.0 => /usr/lib/liblzma.so.0 (0xb806e000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb8056000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7f0e000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb80a5000) It is possibly a problem with getopt_long(). Most programs work(!), ie. I only noticed this with "xz", "lzma" and friends, both the packages and hand-compiled versions. I use the bash commandline all the time with many programs calling getopt_long(), they all work. Backtrace: (gdb) run Starting program: /home/src/bulk/lzma/xz/src/xz/xz Reading symbols from /lib/ld-linux.so.2...(no debugging symbols found)...done.

I already searched the web ("_getopt_internal_r SIGSEGV"), but there's nothing specific, although other programs had problems like this years ago. Any pointers appreciated. clemens
