Bug#1037541: libguestfs: FTBFS: supermin: error: lstat: Value too large for defined data type: /var/tmp/supermin2b73c8.tmpdir/base.d/init
[https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1037541] I think what's happening here is we are using the 31/32 bit lstat functions in OCaml: https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/blob/3d50c168062e9fdbacf739a73738b10108ff3628/otherlibs/unix/unix.mli#L500 (I guess st_size which is signed 31 bits on armv7, but 63 bits on 64 bit platforms). We ought to be using the 64 bit version instead: https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/blob/3d50c168062e9fdbacf739a73738b10108ff3628/otherlibs/unix/unix.mli#L544 The specific problem will be that the size of some file has grown larger than 1GB resulting in this runtime error, although that seems unusual. Now we *ought* to be using those functions already because we should always be doing: open Unix open Unix.LargeFile to use the "LargeFile" (64 bit) versions of the functions. I had a quick look through the code to see where we are using 'open Unix' without 'open Unix.LargeFile' but I couldn't find the place, leaving me confused. (Of course the other problem is that Fedora has abandoned all 32 bit platforms long ago so we never test this ...) Practically my recommendation is to exclude the whole virt stack on armv7 since it has been years since we tested it.

> It looks like libguestfs-tools version 1:1.46.2-1 in depending on > guestfs-tools that is not in the archive making the package > uninstalable Just wanted to note that upstream we have split up the old, very large, libguestfs git "monorepo", splitting out: guestfs-tools (https://github.com/rwmjones/guestfs-tools) - All the C and OCaml tools like virt-df, virt-customize, etc. except for guestfish, virt-v2v and virt-p2v. virt-v2v (https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v) - Conversion from VMware to KVM. virt-p2v (https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-p2v) - Conversion from physical machines to KVM. libguestfs (https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs) - Now it's just the library and language bindings (including guestfish because that is -- kind of -- a set of shell script bindings) FWIW here are the new Fedora packages in case you want to see how we decided to arrange the subpackages and dependencies. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libguestfs/tree/rawhide https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/guestfs-tools/tree/rawhide https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/virt-v2v/tree/rawhide https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/virt-p2v/tree/rawhide Another thing to say is that we're planning eventually to move all the git repos to gitlab because it's a more free software friendly solution compared to github.

Bug#888182: qemu-system-arm: qemu-system-arm crashes when run as part of the nbdkit testsuite
I was able to reproduce a crashing bug in qemu-system-arm on armv7 host. I'm _not_ going to claim this is the same bug that Debian is seeing, but it might be. It's deep inside TCG and unfortunately there is not a lot of useful information in the stack trace. However it's clearly a bug in qemu. Core was generated by `/usr/bin/qemu-system-arm -global virtio-blk-device.scsi=off -enable-fips -nodef'. Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. #0 0xab6a7aa8 in ??

Bug#888182: qemu-system-arm: qemu-system-arm crashes when run as part of the nbdkit testsuite
The test failure looks like a problem in libguestfs (or maybe qemu) rather than nbdkit. TBH in Fedora we disable nbdkit tests on 32-bit armv7, 32-bit i686 and all POWER: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nbdkit/blob/44518f07e0b28a799fa683f1f5ec2ca9c000ac01/f/nbdkit.spec#_419 Now that's not because they shouldn't work eventually, it's because we don't routinely test nbdkit upstream on these architectures.

Bug#887969: nbdkit FTBFS: test failures
On the face of it, it looks like the following patch should fix it: https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/commit/a6b907e5359a139404cee5fd5c7f94eab36a5fde What I don't understand is why that isn't included in your nbdkit (1.1.25) already? In any case the latest nbdkit -- 1.1.27 released a couple of days ago -- does pass all the tests with the latest qemu. The valgrind tests are broken with 1.1.27, and that is fixed by the following 3 commits added after 1.1.27: https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/commit/1e51756907646bc8d2dbcddb2cdb9cea59e5c7bf https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/commit/a3d4a17971bbd84639437a52f5ab1b3fd307c29d https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit/commit/b67a2099105a949b9e943b8c8fc8da1c0163c641 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine.

Bug#815409: libguestfs: FTBFS on mips: segfault while creating blank-disk-1s.qcow2
I actually have libguestfs running on mipsel at home. It's very slow indeed :-( Anyway, it looks as if the segfault is happening in the `qemu-img' utility. The command which fails is: qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata blank-disk-1s.qcow2 512 (You could just run that command on its own on the same hardware to see if you can reproduce it). This bug should probably be reassigned to qemu.

Jones wrote: libaugeas0, libcap2, libhivex0, libpcre3, libxml2, libyajl2, Why are these wrong? They all seem to be correct build deps to me. A debian package normally build-depends on the development package providing the development files (headers, pkg-config, (unversioned) shared object file, etc.) rather then simply on a package with only a particular versioned .so.X. In other words, build-dependencies should normally end with -dev (if it's a library and not a tool used during the build process). The above list would be more correct as: libaugeas-dev, libcap-dev, libhivex-dev, libpcre3-dev, libxml2-dev, libyajl-dev, All of these are probably pulled in indirectly via some other build-dependency right now but should be explicitly specified if they really are build-dependencies of libguestfs. The above -dev packages also specifies a dependency on their respective libfooX package as needed. Doing this correctly is what makes it possible to do binNMUs when there's a transition for a certain library (ie. it gets a new so version). Doing this incorrectly makes that impossible. But in the case of libguestfs, on Debian we depend on specific SONAMEs (not for any real reason, just because Debian's packaging system forces us to do that). So if an SONAME changes it requires an upstream patch or a downstream patch that eventually has to go upstream. So I still think that Hilko's build dependencies are correct.

I'm not complete clear on what change is being made to Debian. However from the build log, the problem is that 'libsystemd.so.0' isn't making it into the appliance. This seems to be because the following upstream commit shoud be backported to the 1.26 branch (either in Debian or upstream): commit a36dde98899ea160a49c9af65a883383496cd331 Author: Hilko Bengen ben...@hilluzination.de Date: Fri Sep 19 18:55:50 2014 +0200 appliance: Add libsystemd0 (and systemd as an alternative for sysvinit) on Debian-based systems Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.

Bug#754615: libguestfs: FTBFS on mips: make[2]: *** [quickcheck] Alarm clock
I'm slightly surprised that libguestfs ever worked on MIPS. We've certainly never tested it upstream. The error is a hang in the appliance, which eventually causes libguestfs-test-tool to hit its default timeout (600 seconds). It's not really possible to tell what is causing the hang. We'd need to have access to MIPS hardware to debug this further. However it happens just after starting udev, which may or may not be related.

Bug#742283: supermin: internal error: assertion failed at dpkg.ml, line 86, char 19
I am able to reproduce this bug with supermin 5.1.5 by doing:
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install attr:i386
$ sudo apt-get install xfsprogs
(Note that xfsprogs requires attr.)
After that:
$ dpkg-query --show --showformat '${Package} ${Version} ${Architecture}\n' |
grep attr
attr 1:2.4.47-1 i386
libattr1 1:2.4.47-1 amd64
libattr1 1:2.4.47-1 i386
libattr1-dev 1:2.4.47-1 amd64
Now to reproduce the bug, do:
$ supermin --version
supermin 5.1.5
$ supermin --prepare attr xfsprogs -o /tmp/supermin.d
supermin: internal error: assertion failed at dpkg.ml, line 86, char 19
However, using supermin 5.1.6 does not produce the assertion failure,
and I am able to prepare and build an appliance:
$ git describe
v5.1.6
$ ./src/supermin --prepare attr xfsprogs -o /tmp/supermin.d
$ ./src/supermin --build /tmp/supermin.d -o /tmp/appliance.d -f chroot
So I think you should try upgrading to 5.1.6 to fix this bug.
Rich.
