 List,

 I figure upgrading to GCC 4.1.1 from 3.4.5 wouldn't be such a pain,
 right?  WRONG.  So far I've had just about every problem under the
 sun, mostly in the form of filesize errors which I wouldn't think
 would be related to GCC, but then again:

 app-admin/perl-cleaner
 x11-proto/xextproto
 x11-proto/xcmiscproto-1.1.2
 
 I had this same issue with app-admin/perl-cleaner.  I think there is a
 bad tarball on some of the mirrors.  I grabbed this one:
 
 http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo/distfiles/perl-cleaner-1.03.tar.gz
 
 and saved it to /usr/portage/distfiles and then ran this (one line):
 
 ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/perl-cleaner/perl-cleaner-1.03.ebuild digest
 
 Now it merged in fine.
 
 Jim

Well, I'm using GCC-3.4.5 and I had the same problem with
app-admin/perl-cleaner.

It's not GCC-related, and it's not exactly the first time we've had to
make our own digests ;)

I just have to say that if upstream authors include a bug-fix without
releasing a new version (and a differently named tarball), they need a
good clubbing.

I can see a reason to release the same version of software with a
documentation update (readme, authors, known issues, faq, etc), which
would cause a different tarball with the same name.

But if any of the sources change, I feel that should *always* be a new version.

I agree with that. Still, apparently that is what happened here. It's stupid, 
but since the devs did change the manifest, I at least want the version that 
fits the manifest.

While that is possible I'm not really sure why you consider it more likely.

At least in my case this bug showed when I upgraded from perl-cleaner-1.03 to 
perl-cleaner-1.03-r1. Those two ebuilds are identical and use the same tar 
file as source. This means that when I originally (a couple of weeks ago) 
installed 1.03 the digest fitted the other, smaller tar file, which means 
that devs has approved both versions of that tar file). It did install 
successfully (and seemed to work) so it couldn't be too corrupted.

So while it is possible that the devs approved a file that shouldn't have been 
approved, I prefer to think that upstream just did something stupid by 
upgrading the package without a revision bump.. :)

 *confused*

Like I stated in my previous mail I installed this a couple of weeks ago with 
the older, smaller version of the tar file. At that time there was no digest 
verification error which means that the digest fitted that tar file.

When I reinstalled yesterday (after the ebuild had been bumped to -r1) but 
with the name of the tar file unchanged I ran into a digest verification 
error because the digest had changed to fit the newer, bigger tar file with 
the same name. Since the name was unchanged I had to delete the file to have 
the newer version downloaded which fitted the new digest...

Note that the ebuilds of 1.03 and 1.03-r1 are identical. You get exactly the 
same software no matter which one of them you install. But since the tar file 
has changed you do not get the same as 2 weeks ago when I originally 
installed 1.03. I have exactly run a diff on those tar files so I can't tell 
if the difference is important...

Please read the previous mail I sent 75 minutes ago. I hope I am more clear

It's just a shame that he has to use that one or pay extra to get a good

it happens one time a month or so.

And they aren't 'Free' because the ftp server runs out of disk space once in a 
while (which is the reason for the corruption most of the times, or there was

Yes, very much so. See my Upgrading to gcc 4.1: emerge -e world required?

These packages quit on me after telling me that the reported filesize

Were the errors correct? I mean, did the filesizes differ?


I also had several packages quit on me


How?


If these are the type of problems we're going to see with 4.1.1, I

Yep.


 Testing isn't even the word
for this so far.  I had to revert back to my 3.4.5 gcc and re-emerge
system after having too many errors to warrant continuing.


Hm. But there are people, who ran emerge -e world with gcc 4.1.1
and don't have problems. I suppose you'll only have problems, when
you mix 3.x and 4.x.

Yea, since the soname was the same, I was under the impression that
mixing would be fine, and I never ran into a problem.  Now that I
have unmasked it and more people are testing, I see that people are
actually running into issues.  So, my mistake.  Sorry.  If you are doing
any upgrade of GCC that is something like 3.3-3.4, or 3.4-4.1,
recompiling everything is probably a good first step to ensuring your
system will be sane.  We try to cut down on work that people will have
to do and see if mixed installs will work, but in this case, I was
wrong that you would be able to do that.

 If these are the type of problems we're going to see with 4.1.1, I

 Yep.

I've yet to see cause for saying this.  Moving to a completely new
version of gcc, as in 3.x - 4.x, is a huge move.  I think the small
amount of problems that we are seeing now is great, and if you are using
~arch, you should expect little bumps in the road.  We can only do so
much testing in p.mask, and all of the people using it there were
telling me that it was working fine for them.

Just following the GCC Upgrading Guide [1], and you should be fine.
There will always be a few people that run into problems, and there
isn't much we can do about that.  If you think you found a real bug,
please report it, or we can't ever fix it.

I have just switched to gcc 4.1.1 and experienced the same. All worked out  
after `emerge --sync'.

so run ebuild blabla.ebuild digest

wow, that is hard...

if you are trying software from the ~ tree, you are expected to deal with some 
hiccups.

btw, I did the gcc 3.4.x--4.1 step some weeks ago.

And just to be safe, I did an -e system followed by an -e world.

Was a good decision - I did not run in any major problems.

I think this has nothing to do with the gcc upgrade.  More likely it
is simply because you were doing an emerge -e world.  I see the same
thing on my system:


checking perl-cleaner-1.03.tar.gz

!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /usr/portage/packages/sources/perl-cleaner-1.03.tar.gz
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 4954 Feb 20 07:02
/usr/portage/distfiles/perl-cleaner-1.03.tar.gz

So the Manifest really does list 4611 bytes as the expected size, but
my distfile is 4954 bytes.  Most likely the Manifest was updated (via
an emerge --sync) after I merged 1.03.  But there was no bump in the
ebuild version, so I never saw this on any of my normal upgrades...not
until I tried to merge it again.


These packages quit on me after telling me that the reported filesize
by the ebuild wasn't equal to the downloaded filesize.  This only
happened with gcc-config 6 (4.1.1).  When I switched back to 3.4.5,

Can you elaborate on this?  I cannot duplicate it:

carcharias ~ # gcc-config 1
* Switching native-compiler to i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6 ...

Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...


[ ok ]

* If you intend to use the gcc from the new profile in an already
* running shell, please remember to do:

*   # source /etc/profile

carcharias ~ # source /etc/profile
carcharias ~ # emerge --oneshot perl-cleaner
Calculating dependencies... done!

Emerging (1 of 1) app-admin/perl-cleaner-1.03 to /

!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /usr/portage/packages/sources/perl-cleaner-1.03.tar.gz
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size

In any case this should be solved by deleting the offending distfiles
and letting them be downloaded again.


I also had several packages quit on me related to gnome and GTK.
Complaints were usually related to GTK being compiled and installed,
however would not run.


Without more data (the specific error messages), it is hard to say
whether this is related to the 4.1.1 upgrade or not.

Probably better to just delete the distfiles and let them be

2006-05-27 Thread Jason Weisberger

List,

I suppose that I just found it odd that it popped up after I switched
to GCC 4.1.1.  Maybe coincidence.  I'll delete all my digest files and
let them download again, because this is popping up on quite a few
packages.  Maybe a bad mirror.

I will be going on vacation for about a week, and when I get back I'll
try to do all this again, hell, maybe even from a fresh install.  I
hear the benefits are worth it.

I've read a few things about 4.1.1 not playing well with GTK packages
on the forums, however, and that still appears to be the case.  I'll
get exact error messages when I return and bring this thread up again.

Thanks to everyone who responded!

Cool.  Hopefully any problems will have ready-made solutions by then.
Have a nice vacation...

I had this same issue with app-admin/perl-cleaner.  I think there is a
bad tarball on some of the mirrors.  I grabbed this one:

http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo/distfiles/perl-cleaner-1.03.tar.gz

and saved it to /usr/portage/distfiles and then ran this (one line):

ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/perl-cleaner/perl-cleaner-1.03.ebuild digest

Now it merged in fine.
