[pacman-dev] [BUG] segfault when the download fails
by Xavier 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

I believe my mirror gave me a way to reproduce easily the issue Nagy described there : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8350#comment20223 However, it doesn't look at all like the output in the original bug report, where the progress bar is at 64%. So I wasn't sure where to report this information, so I'm reporting it here for now before investigating further. Here is the --debug output: Targets: hunspell-1.2.1-2 openoffice-fr-2.3.1-1 Total Download Size: 15.08 MB [00:27:01] debug: using cachedir: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ :: Retrieving packages from extra... error: Internal pacman error: Segmentation fault. Please submit a full bug report with --debug if appropriate. [00:27:01] debug: using 'hunspell-1.2.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz' for download progress [00:27:01] debug: connected to mir1.archlinuxfr.org successfully [00:27:02] debug: using 'openoffice-fr-2.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz' for download progress [00:27:02] error: failed retrieving file 'openoffice-fr-2.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz' from mir1.archlinuxfr.org : Not Found [00:27:02] debug: using 'hunspell-1.2.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz' for download progress [00:27:02] error: segmentation fault So pacman first downloads hunspell-1.2.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz and succeeds, then it tries to download openoffice-fr-2.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz and fails. So after that, it tries using the second server in the list. It starts with hunspell-1.2.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz again, and then bam, segfault. While I'm finishing this mail, the bug is already gone, since that package is now available on my first mirror. But when it wasn't available, the issue was 100% reproducible, I made it happen 10 times in a row.

[pacman-dev] Directory permission checking in makepkg
by Allan McRae 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hi all, I was looking at bug FS#5908 [1] which asks for directory permissions to be checked somewhere in order to stop screwing your system when installing a poorly made package (as directory permissions get overwritten when extracting packages). This at first glance seems about a two line addition to the tidy_install function of makepkg. However, can anybody come up with a case where package directories shouldn't have 755 permissions? If so, I guess this would require either the addition of some option which would stop the directory permissions getting fixed (dirperm?) or just checking/fixing the permissions of a predetermined set of directories. If needed, which is preferable. Cheers, Allan [1] http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5908

[pacman-dev] backup handling ugly mess
by Xavier 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Following the recent bash breakage, Pierre was wondering why the /etc/profile just stayed there on the filesystem : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2007-December/003556.html I didn't understand this at all. As stonecrest noted earlier, when the "current" mirrorlist was removed from pacman package, that file totally disappeared during the upgrade, even though it was in the old backup array : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-September/009376.html This caused the following commit : http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=pacman.git;a=commitdiff;h=843d368ef60a… The first part of this commit is supposed to temporarily add all old backup entries (besides the new) to the NoUpgrade array. Because of a bug, it didn't have any effect. The second part was an idea of me to handle the pacsave during an removeupgrade just like we already did for a remove, but I finally think this is a really stupid / misleading / confusing idea. This code shouldn't even be reached during a removeupgrade if the first part was fixed anyway. So that was just a little sum up, now description of the bug: alpm_pkg_get_backup(newpkg) : newpkg is the one that will be installed, so this only return a list of elements like "file" alpm_pkg_get_backup(oldpkg) : oldpkg is a locally installed package, so this return a list of elements like "file<tab>md5sum" Since the md5sum wasn't removed there, adding these files had 0 effect. Now, this can easily be fixed. But then all files in either old or new backup array that were in oldpkg but not in newpkg will just stay there on the filesystem. They won't be renamed to .pacsave . Why the bash case was different to the pacman one is that, even if /etc/profile was removed from the newpkg, it was still in the backup array of the newpkg (which is the only one pacman looks at). So the file wasn't removed and was just left on the filesystem. Even though the bash case is a packaging error, it's a real case that happened, so it might be worth adding it to the pactests.

Uh, I thought I couldn't reproduce this, because I was answering the default question (yes). Now I see, but I don't consider this to be a big problem. Why would you answer no to the question anyway? When you do, pacman will just fail.

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Compress hard linked man pages
by Allan McRae 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Hi all, The attached patch fixes FS#5392 [1]. If hard links are present for a man page, all other hard linked files are removed, the man page is gzipped and the hard links are updated to the newly compressed man page. I didn't deal with the comment the .bz2 files are not change because I felt that is unnecessary. Also, do we even care if man pages have permission of 444 instead of 644 as mentioned in the final comment? From the comments in the bug report, the ownership of the traceroute man page should probably be dealt with in the iputils package and probably needs a separate bug report opened. This is the first patch I've submitted and I'm new to git so let me know if I've done something wrong... Cheers, Allan [1] http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5392

[pacman-dev] output issues status
by Xavier 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

So, a while ago I reported some output issues here, making the distinction between two kind : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-September/009317.html The first kind was worked around by Dan by removing these pointless "done" messages : http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=pacman.git;a=commit;h=3017b71cb5cde3ae… For the second one, Dan and Aaron had an argument about how to solve it. Dan has a preference for delaying the output, and Aaron prefers padding with space (the way it was in 3.0). 22:56 phrakture >> i don't get why you dislike padding with spaces. lots of other apps do that 22:57 phrakture >> i personally think it's a far better idea than blocking message output 22:57 phrakture >> because, well, what if we have a front end that doesn't output progress 22:57 phrakture >> and thus has no progress callback 22:59 toofishes >> we aren't blocking message output *from the backend* 22:59 toofishes >> this is all in the frontend! 23:00 toofishes >> if you had an install where there were 20 permission errors, we are going to have 20 progress bar fragments right now. 23:00 phrakture >> right, and I'm saying we can solve that with maybe 3 lines of code 23:00 toofishes >> ok, patches welcome :) 23:00 phrakture >> but it's padding, and you dislike that 23:01 toofishes >> well i haven't seen your implementation. maybe i won't dislike it. 23:01 toofishes >> i just feel like this isn't the right way or something. Since Aaron promised restoring the padding way in 3 lines, I couldn't really compete with that ;), and besides 3.0 already has a sample implementation. So I tried exploring the delayed output way instead, and hacked something together in ~50 lines. It's very ugly and hackish, but it's just meant as a proof of concept, because I'm not even sure the idea is right. >From 9de58523ee64c4c2d86148fad30be1c6cf543d22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 22:57:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Delay output during progress bar. This is just a proof of concept patch to fix the output issue related to the progress bar by delaying the output.
