Package: dh-strip-nondeterminism
Version: 0.019-1
Severity: important
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
I noticed that building glib2.0 (native or cross) started to fail for me
on some systems. The relevant part of the build log always is:
| dh_strip_nondeterminism -plibglib2.0-tests
| Out of memory!
| /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk:302: recipe for target
'binary-strip-IMPL/libglib2.0-tests' failed
| make: *** [binary-strip-IMPL/libglib2.0-tests] Error 1
| dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch gave error exit
status 2
So I reran dh_strip_nondeterminism under strace and saw
mmap(NULL, 4294971392, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1,
0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
as the last action before printing the "Out of memory" message. The last
file opened was
debian/libglib2.0-tests/usr/lib/glib2.0/installed-tests/glib/thumbnails/huge-chunk-size.png
which has a size of 512 bytes.
If you try reproducing the issue, "ulimit -v $((1024*1024*4))" can be
useful.
I'll be using
ln -sf /bin/true /usr/bin/dh_strip_nondeterminism
for now unless you can propose something better.
I was also thinking that since these files are deliberately broken,
maybe glib2.0 should explicitly --exclude them from
dh_strip_nondeterminism?
