Bug#951508: A patch file
Hi, If anyone wants to take over I'm more than fine with that. The amount of work I have at the moment barely permits me from maintaining projects. It's most sensible that someone actively using this project on Debian maintains it, as is, I'm not using it much anymore and am not working in HPC at the moment. The bug should definitely reported upstream. Upgrading the package should be fairly simple though - the dependencies are already in place, as are simple tests/git integration etc.: https://github.com/azet/lmod-deb Thanks, Aaron > On 15.09.2020, at 09:33, Lucas Nussbaum wrote: > > retitle 951508 lmod: broken on all architectures except x86_64 (wrong search > path) > severity 951508 serious > thanks > > Hi, > > We ran into the same bug on an arm64 system, so it looks like lmod is > broken on all architectures except x86_64.

Bug#951508: A patch file
retitle 951508 lmod: broken on all architectures except x86_64 (wrong search path) severity 951508 serious thanks Hi, We ran into the same bug on an arm64 system, so it looks like lmod is broken on all architectures except x86_64. I'm updating the bug title and the severity to reflect that. I'm attaching the diffoscope output that shows that the generated packages are indeed different on amd64 and arm64. A simple fix would be to turn this package into an Architecture:any package. But indeed, it should probably be reported (and fixed) upstream.

Err, if this is the case, maybe you should mark this package as orphaned or RFA? I'm also Ccing people who uploaded NMUs for the package. Maybe someone is interested in taking over.

Bug#951508: A patch file
Thanks for the information, interesting. These paths are auto generated during setup and installation as far as i know, so either we're breaking something in the build process within the package or as you point out it's an issue with the package building system. I'll look into it once i have a bit more time. Since I'm barely keeping this package updated I'd suggest that you use the upstream Lmod project source with the dependencies that come with this package, you'll get more bug fixes, Performance and features out of it in a production environment. That's what we used to do on live HPC systems since a lot of software needs to be built by hand outside of the distro packaging anyway. Thanks, Aaron On Mon 17.

I did try with "apt source lmod" on the same system, in order to check you suggestion. So yes, it is the same version as debian's package, we're currently using the packages from: http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20200217T030244Z/ (We started upgrading the system this morning, so the date of the archive is this morning's) On Mon, Feb 17, 2020 at 8:40 PM Aaron Zauner wrote: > It might be related to the version.

It might be related to the version. Keep in mind that the version packaged for Debian is quite old. Did you try with the same version? On Mon 17.

Bug#951508: A patch file
Hi Thanks for your suggestion. When downloading the source package and building it locally, the paths seems to be correct. So I guess that the problem is either debian packagers used the same version for powerpc and x86 or was doing cross-site compilation without passing the correct parameters. It seems that the package is only have to be re-built in powerpc environment.
Bug#951508: A patch file
Hi Tamar This is something you need to bring up with the upstream maintainer of lmod. Replacing hard coded paths for one architecture with another will just break it for most users except for you. I suggest opening a GitHub PR with reference to this Debian bug report and an explanation what doesn't work, like in your initial bug report here: https://github.com/TACC/Lmod Thanks, Aaron On Mon 17.
