[pacman-dev] [alpm] PM_ERR_PKG_HOLD - what's this?
by Georg Grabler 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

Hello guys, With the current ALPM version i get PM_ERR_PKG_HOLD on adding packages. In the current pacman GIT i could just find it in the remove process. Anyway, what does it mean? Has something changed so i need to define holdpkgs in some way? Is there even a need to define them? Hasn't been some weeks ago, so something must have been changed. Yours, Georg (STiAT)

[pacman-dev] pacman screws up permissions
by Thomas Bächler 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

I just installed the ntfs-3g package with pacman 3.0.5-1: $ /bin/ls -lhF /bin/ntfs-3g /usr/man/man8/ntfs-3g.8.gz -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36K 20. Jun 01:45 /bin/ntfs-3g* -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3,0K 20. Jun 01:44 /usr/man/man8/ntfs-3g.8.gz* The permissions in the tarfile are 755 for /bin/ntfs-3g (and I suppose they are 644 for the manpage, didn't check that). This behaviour can cause critical bugs and in this case is security-relevant, as a user could change the ntfs-3g binary, which is executed at boot time on many systems. This has to be fixed FAST.

[pacman-dev] libarchive, pacman, and libtool-slaying
by Dan McGee 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

I'm sending this to two lists to see who can offer some insight, as I tried and failed earlier to get pacman to correctly build with a newer version of libarchive. I think it may deal with having la files in the package, but I am not sure so I'll outline what I've tried and know so far. Libarchive website: http://people.freebsd.org/~kientzle/libarchive/ Current version: 2.2.3 Current Arch Linux version: 1.3.1-2 As you can see, we are a ways behind. I up-ed the PKGBUILD for libarchive, rebuilt it without problems (as far as I can tell), and then pacman -U <new libarchive> and tried to compile pacman. The ldd output showed that it correctly linked against the new libarchive.so.2, but it had somehow also linked against libarchive.so.1. I tried rebuilding libarchive using options=(!libtool), but that didn't seem to fix anything- it actually just spit some more errors saying libarchive was missing la files and such. OK, long explanation, but it comes down to this: 1. How can we get pacman to compile with libarchive without needing the la files? libdownload seems to work fine without them, etc. 2. Where is this mysterious link to libarchive.so.1 coming from when it isn't even present on my system anymore? This applies to both the most recent CVS release and our GIT tree at projects.al.org. -Dan

[pacman-dev] [patch] alpm_removedeps bug+fix && alpm_depcmp-discussion
by ngaba＠petra.hos.u-szeged.hu 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Hi! I attached the pactest file and my patch. I also made some modifications in alpm_removedeps' args, because the old one was a bit messy for me. And I think that my version is faster. can_remove_package is a bit stupid (compared to alpm_checkdeps), but I leave it untouched, because speed is more important here than "perfection". As you see, this patch contains my usual "for (pkg in pkgcache) if(alpm_depcmp(pkg, depend))..." stuff. We should discuss something now: This method has a drawback sometimes in speed: This method implicitly reads the pkgcache with full pkginfo, because alpm_depcmp needs provisions. If we've already done this (or we need to do this later) or we must collect ALL dependency satisfier in pkgcache this is not a problem. However, for example if we just want to know if there is ANY package in pkgcache which satisfies a dependency (something similar to can_remove_package without using requiredby fields), then FIRST check for package names THEN for providers is probably faster, if the pkgcache is loaded with pkgname-pkgver info only: because we have great chance to find a satisfier pkgname-pkgver pair and we can stop, we can answer the question without reading the ugly PKGINFO files for providers.

[pacman-dev] FS7461: Pacman permission problems
by Andrew Fyfe 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

There's still some problems (FS7461) with pacman/libarchive and setuid files, the permissions are getting screwed up when extracting the file. The best fix I can see is to upgrade to libarchive-2.2.3 and remove the chmod hack Aaron added to lib/libalpm/add.c
