The sync package pkg3 depends on the sync package pkg2, but pkg1 replaces pkg2. So pkg2 is added to the remove list. When checkdeps checks if pkg2 can be removed, it looks at the packages that require pkg2 (with the RequiredBy field of pkg2), but this doesn't contain pkg3 at this point. RequiredBy fields are only updated after the packages are installed. Proposed solution : checkdeps should know both the remove and upgrade list to decide properly.

This patch cleans up and fix the _alpm_trans_update_depends function and ensure that all requiredby fields are filled in case of multiple satisfiers (previously, the handling of mutliple satisfiers in that function was inconsistent). This makes a special case handling of requiredby in commit_single_pkg() obsolete, and so allows cleaning that code as well. Also fixed upgrade056 pactest because : 1) the requiredby fields were wrong, and this wouldn't happen with the fixed _alpm_trans_update_depends(). 2) this is a very unusual case anyway (and handling all corner cases combined to a broken database seems nearly impossible to achieve).

[pacman-dev] dangerous symlink handling with --root option
by Mister Dobalina 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Hi again, (and sorry again for any split lines) Okay, so I was fooling around with the --root option again, and after I realized from one of Xavier's posts that pre/post install scriptlets won't be run at all until /bin/sh (from bash) is installed, I figured I should install the packages twice. This led to two issues. I have a bash script (attached) that basically does: pkglist=( ... bunch o' base packages ... ) mkdir /tmp/pacman.test pacman -U --root /tmp/pacman.test ${pkglist[*]} pacman -U --root /tmp/pacman.test ${pkglist[*]} The second install of coreutils causes: error: cannot remove file '/tmp/pacman.test/usr/bin/sleep': Read-only file system error: failed to commit transaction (transaction aborted) error: failed to release transaction (could not commit transaction) First Issue: CPU usage then goes to 100%, so I assume that pacman has gone into an infinite loop somewhere. Second Issue: the real concern is the "Read-only file system" error, since /tmp is on a tmpfs and is definitely not read-only. My / partition is read-only though, and # ls -l /tmp/pacman.test/usr/bin/sleep lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-08-16 16:13 /tmp/pacman.test/usr/bin/sleep -> /bin/sleep So pacman was following the absolute symlink *out* of the --root and trying to remove /bin/sleep from my main arch install ??

[pacman-dev] difficult symlink puzzle, part 2.
by Nagy Gabor 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi! If I didn't misunderstood conflict.c then fileconflict check fails in the following case (pacman -A pkg1 pkg2): pkg1 contains: /dir1/file pkg2 contains: /dir2/file, if /dir1 and /dir2 exists on filesystem, and /dir2 is a symlink pointing to /dir1. Much more difficult problem (and fortunately much rarer), if pkg2 creates the /dir2 symlink, so it didn't exist before the transaction. Any tests/feedbacks appreciated... How is this handled in other package managers? Bye, ngaba PS: a possible semi-solution: pacman shouldn't stop/overwrite in case of these "hidden" fileconflict errors, it extract /dir2/file as /dir2/file.pkg2.pacnew and do something at the end of the transaction. (Speed is a big limiting factor here.)

[pacman-dev] Missing sanity checks for path -> weird behaviors and segfaults
by Xavier 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

If Root isn't specified, paths like (null)var/ will be created. I think pacman should either default to / for Root, or just fail if it isn't set. Also, if no Cache Dirs is set, pacman will try to fallback to /tmp/ , but then it segfaults. (try pacman -Sw bar). Apparently it segfaults on this in libalpm/sync.c , sync_commit function, after downloading the file succesfully : 718 for(i = handle->dbs_sync; i; i = i->next) I found it weird that inside that loop, i was used a second time in an inner loop : 758 for(i = alpm_option_get_cachedirs(); i; i = alpm_list_next(i)) { I thought that was the problem, but it didn't fix the segfault. Second strange thing is that the files list seem to be freed in any cases : 795 FREELIST(files); but it's used at the end of that _alpm_sync_commit function : 1018 if(!validcache && !(trans->flags & PM_TRANS_FLAG_DOWNLOADONLY)) { 1019 /* delete packages */ 1020 for(i = files; i; i = i->next) { 1021 unlink(i->data); 1022 } 1023 } Finally, if the cache isn't valid (so it fallbacks to /tmp/) and DOWNLOADONLY is used, files won't be deleted, but will they be used next times? Because the fallback (lines 779-790) happen after the check of existence of the package in the cache (lines 740-744). I can't check what happens because of the segfault.

[pacman-dev] [patch] Conflict variables
by Nagy Gabor 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hi! After the professional cleanup of conflict.c (by Xavier, thx; anyway, do you want to add conflict checking to db_test?;-) we don't need to restrict conflicts to conflict-name only, we can use the depend syntax. So this patch doesn't change any important thing in the source code, mainly this is a testcase instead. Bye, ngaba

[pacman-dev] [patch] for resolvedeps + some notes
by Nagy Gabor 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hi! With this patch resolvedeps will search for other satisfiers, if we don't let it add a pkg from IgnorePkg. Note: this patch assumes my depcheck.diff patch applied. Bye PS: Resolvedeps is still dummy, because pulling a new package to the *list may break an earlier verified dependency of a pkg in the *list (because the new package will overwrite something in the localdb!). The best (but much slower) solution is to call depcheck with the *list parameter (plus syncpkg).

[pacman-dev] Pacman 3.0.5-3: strange behaviour
