[pacman-dev] Pacman failing with existing symlinks on the install path
by Peter Kehl 05 Feb '19

05 Feb '19

Dear Pacman maintainers, On current 4.19.16-1-MANJARO x64, I had /opt as symlink to /share/opt. I went to install current Google Chrome 72.0.3626.81-1 from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/google-chrome (either by GNOME's Add/Remove Software, or by sudo pacman -U google-chrome-72.0.3626.81-1- x86_64.pkg.tar.xz). It failed with: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) google-chrome: /opt exists in filesystem Knut Ahlers, the maintainer of AUR Google Chrome package, responded that the package doesn't check for the symlinks. Hence it's probably pacman. Have you/would you consider supporting existing symlinks on the install paths, please? Thanks in advance, -Peter Kehl Vancouver, B.C., Canada

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] libalpm: Check cachedir access before re-creating
by David Phillips 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

If users have mounted a filesystem such as sshfs or NFS that doesn't allow root access by default for security reasons, _alpm_filecache_setup will blindly try and re-create the components of the cachedir path, eating EACCES (to be liek mkdir -p). Then, it will return this path as if it is valid when it may not be readable by root, causing alpm_check_downloadspace to trigger a FPE since it assumes the cachedir is R/W and uses fsinfo which may be zero. This patch adds a check before trying to re-create the cachedir in order to determine if creating it will result in EACCES, and outputs a warning if so. It also discards the current cachedir from being considered. This causes a more meaningful and graceful failure than a FPE. --- lib/libalpm/util.c | 16 ++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/libalpm/util.c b/lib/libalpm/util.c index d33eef2a..d4375593 100644 --- a/lib/libalpm/util.c +++ b/lib/libalpm/util.c @@ -849,12 +849,16 @@ const char *_alpm_filecache_setup(alpm_handle_t *handle) for(i = handle->cachedirs; i; i = i->next) { cachedir = i->data; if(stat(cachedir, &buf) != 0) { - /* cache directory does not exist.... try creating it */ - _alpm_log(handle, ALPM_LOG_WARNING, _("no %s cache exists, creating...\n"), - cachedir); - if(_alpm_makepath(cachedir) == 0) { - _alpm_log(handle, ALPM_LOG_DEBUG, "using cachedir: %s\n", cachedir); - return cachedir; + if (errno == EACCES) { + _alpm_log(handle, ALPM_LOG_WARNING, _("failed to stat %s: %s\n"), cachedir, strerror(errno)); + } else { + /* cache directory does not exist.... try creating it */ + _alpm_log(handle, ALPM_LOG_WARNING, _("no %s cache exists, creating...\n"), + cachedir); + if(_alpm_makepath(cachedir) == 0) { + _alpm_log(handle, ALPM_LOG_DEBUG, "using cachedir: %s\n", cachedir); + return cachedir; + } } } else if(!S_ISDIR(buf.st_mode)) { _alpm_log(handle, ALPM_LOG_DEBUG, -- 2.20.1

[pacman-dev] [PATCH 0/7] Improve linting for makepkg

I recently did some data crunshing on AUR packages, trying to find ones that are formatted incorrectly, catching mistakes makepkg did not. I wrote up on the results here https://github.com/Morganamilo/go-srcinfo/issues/1. This patch should cover all the mistakes found and make is so that makepkg bails out duing the linting phase and users are forced to make more correct pkgbuilds. morganamilo (7): libmakepkg: disallow empty arch libmakepkg: stop printsrcinfo generating empty values libmakepkg: lint disallowed variables in package() libmakepkg: lint disallowed architecture specific variables libmakepkg: disallow using any as an architecture specific variable libmakepkg: add pkgbase to linted variables libmakepkg: disallow using 'any' with other arches scripts/libmakepkg/lint_pkgbuild/arch.sh.in | 14 +++- .../libmakepkg/lint_pkgbuild/variable.sh.in | 72 ++++++++++++++++++- scripts/libmakepkg/srcinfo.sh.in | 6 +- 3 files changed, 86 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1
