[Touch-packages] [Bug 1756238] Re: gdebi-gtk broken in 18.04 error: unable to read filedescriptor flags

[Mathew Hodson]

I think it makes more sense to use bug 1946499 to track the issue
happening in Ubuntu 21.10. The patches in this bug landed two years ago,
so it would be confusing to reopen it.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1756238] Re: gdebi-gtk broken in 18.04 error: unable to read filedescriptor flags

[Treviño]

In groovy the code for vte-keep-FD patch has been refactored to support
new upstream code.

However, I think it's the time we plan to remove this next cycle, given
that gdebi is the only project using it so far [1], and that upstream
already suggested a better way to do it [2].

So, if someone is still interested in fixing gdebi to address this,
please act as otherwise it's very likely that next versions of vte will
break it.

[Mark smith]

I *might* have a possible clue for the gdebi gui crash in Bionic.

If I right click on a .deb file and tell it to install with gdebi the gui will 
crash.
If I open a terminal in the same directory as the file and launch gdebi-gtk 
*.deb the gui will install and uninstall the .deb file without crashing.

I hope this offers a potential clue for a fix, I love the gdebi
installer and I thank ALL of you programmers for your diligence and hard
work!!

Mark

I just did a clean install of Xubuntu 18.04.1 and then installed gdebi and its 
frontend. 
The interface crashes for me so it hasn't been fixed. The back-end might work 
from the command line but the gui is broken.

[Mark-pcnetspec]

As far as I was concerned this bug was already fixed in:-

0.52.1-1ubuntu1

in the main repo, so I can't see any need for this in proposed now.

But just to answer your question anyway, YES:-

0.52.2-1ubunti1-18.04.1

also fixes the issue (though now it would likely be more accurate to say
it doesn't regress the earlier fix).

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1756238] Re: gdebi-gtk broken in 18.04 error: unable to read filedescriptor flags

[Robie Basak]

Hello Mark-pcnetspec, or anyone else affected,

Accepted vte2.91 into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte2.91/0.52.2-1ubuntu1~18.04.1 in
a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: vte2.91 (Ubuntu Bionic)

[Iain Lane]

This bug is Fix Released in bionic. The reference is only included in
LP-Bugs-Fixed because I copied the previous merge entry and then built
the source package with -v. Sorry that that's confusing.

(bug #1765389 is actually missing SRU information and I pinged Rico to
add it.)

Ideally gdebi should be fixed not to rely on this patch. Obviously

[Egmont Koblinger]

Which, of course, raises the question:

- Is gdebi doing something wrong? Is there an alternative approach provided by 
VTE, which gdebi should start using instead?
- Does VTE really lack a feature that is required by gdebi, so VTE should add?
- Did VTE perhaps reject adding this feature (if so, why?), hence the need for 
the patch?

I can reproduce the bug, and I also get the same (faulty) result with
vanilla vte-0.48 compiled by me (that is, not the Ubuntu package,
contrary to comment 7).

Jeremy, could you please test if bringing back 91_keep_fds.patch solves
the issue? The error message sounds suspiciously related to what this
patch was doing.

Yep, definitely something in vte 0.52 because downgrading to 0.48 by
installing these packages from artful:-

gir1.2-vte-2.91_0.48.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
libvte-2.91-0_0.48.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
libvte-2.91-0-udeb_0.48.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.udeb
libvte-2.91-common_0.48.4-0ubuntu1_all.deb

fixes the issue.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1756238] Re: gdebi-gtk broken in 18.04 error: unable to read filedescriptor flags

[Mark-pcnetspec]

No it's not that clicking the .deb doesn't fire up gdebi-gtk (it does),
it's that gdebi-gtk crashes whilst installing the .deb throwing the
error:-

dpkg: error: unable to read filedescriptor flags for : Bad file descriptor

Changing (or dropping) the %f option makes no difference :(

[Jeremy Bicha]

Maybe this is related to the fix for LP: #1719746 and the reason why the
%f option was dropped in Ubuntu 17.10.

(I don't use gdebi and am not working on fixing this bug.)

[Phelps Scofield]

In my Ubuntu 18.04 Beta 1 the gdebi program does not install any deb
packages, but when I click install package it crashes and closes. I am
installing through dpkg on the terminal.

Same problem here using Ubuntu 18.04 beta 1.  Did an update and now
gdebit doesn't even ask for a password.  But does work in terminal.
