Thanks for your bug report. You write: > there seems to be zero packaging-level support for bootstrapping, the > packages are not cross-buildable and the upstream bootstrapping instructions > are too tedious, So far no issues were encountered when the bootstrapping procedure as described in the README.bobatbootstrap file in icmake's src distribution is followed. If you could be a bit more specific about what you mean by 'bootstrapping instructions are too tedious' then I'm sure those instructions can be changed so that they're less tedious. Wrt the package not being cross-buildable: The https://packages.debian.org/sid/libbobcat-dev shows the following lines for armel and armhf: armel 6.04.00-1 1,604.2 kB 8,598.0 kB [list of files] armhf 6.04.00-1 1,608.4 kB 8,126.0 kB [list of files] although I also see packages for which version 6.04.00-1+b2 or 6.04.00-1+b4 is listed. So maybe for unstable some issues recently appeared? Also, the bootstrapping procedure is only required when icmake isn't avaialble yet. For the construction of the bobcat library icmake 11.01.02-1 is required, and icmake.01.02-1 needs libbobcat-dev >= 5.07.00, which is available since bullseye (oldstable). So maybe you can also provide some info about why the bootstrapping procedure is needed/used? In any case: the dependence on icmake when constructing the full bobcat library could be avoided, but I'd rather not do that once icmake *is* available. So please advise. -- Frank B.

Oops, guys: OK, hold your fire: the flaw is at my side: I missed that Martin already used yodl 3.07.01, and while reading Tony's mail I noticed that Tony *did* use the latest Yodl version. When I do that too, I also reproduced the error. So I think the bug can safely be reassigned to yodl, and I also think it can quickly be fixed.

Ususally a bug report provides me with clear hints about its causes, but this time I'm at a loss. Building the manual on amd64 archs works OK, and I have no access to a HPE Helion machine, so it's hard to reproduce the bug. I'm also wondering why the bug appears when yodl processes algorithm/reduce.yo, and not earlier. E.g., the macro 'verbinsert' is called in documentation/manual/algorithm/reduce.yo, but before that in examples/rpndecl.yo:verbinsert(//DECL)(rpn/parser/grammar) examples/rpngram.yo:verbinsert(//RULES)(rpn/parser/grammar) examples/errors.yo: verbinsert(//LINE)(errorcalc/parser/grammar) and only then: algorithm/reduce.yo:verbinsert(-as4)(examples/rr1) But when used in reduce.yo another type of argument (-as4) is passed to yodlverbinsert than in the other three cases, where a //XXX marker is used (the short usage info displayed by yodlverbinsert suggests that a marker is required, but that's not actually true, cf. yodlverbinsert's man-page). There is of course a poor-man's solution: I build the documents and provide the pre-built documents with the debian package. But it would be nice to know why we get the FTBFS problem on the Helions. Maybe I could ask you to replace line 7 ofdocumentation/manual/algorithm/reduce.yo verbinsert(-as4)(examples/rr1) by VERBOSITY()(0x4) verbinsert(-as4)(examples/rr1) VERBOSITY()(NONE) and then run ./build manual in bisonc++'s base directory (where you also find a file named CLASSES) and send me the output? That might provide a little more info about what went wrong. For now, lacking access to a Helion machine, I'm afraid I have to ask you for some help Cheers, [Cc: Tony/George] -- Frank B.

But if it's doing things in parallel then maybe on newer, faster, computers things might have completed, like remounting /usr rw before it's actually used. A race condition might then explain why the problem doesn't always show itself, and why chances of failure are reduced when more time is spent writing debug/verbose messages. > So far, the only thing I can say for sure looking at the initramfs log, > is that /usr has been mounted successfully in the initramfs. > > "Something" apparently causes /usr to be unmounted later on.

This information is available at https://www.icce.rug.nl/systemd in the files initramfs.debug and alb. Maybe useful to note: it took like four or five reboot attempts before the booting process eventually failed. This time even more output than with using 'verbose' flashes by during the booting process, which somewhat slows down the booting procedure. You're sure it can't be some timing problem? -- Frank B.

I think in my bugreport I mentioned the problem that /usr wasn't mounted. In your next reply you wrote: > I'm a bit confused by those logs. They show that sda5 have been mounted. > > Dec 17 15:44:29 localhost.localdomain kernel: EXT4-fs (sda5): mounting > ext3 file system using the ext4 subsystem > Dec 17 15:44:29 localhost.localdomain kernel: EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted > filesystem with ordered data mode.

Just to be sure, please > attach ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/ I seem to remember that message, in particular the Opts: (null) remark, and I think at that point /usr was mounted by me fron the systemd shell. Also, couldn't it be that initramfs *did* do the mount, but that remounting it rw, als reported in the error message is the problem? Also, to me it appears remarkable that by removing the 'quiet' from the kernel parameters, so that things go a bit slower because of the extra messages that are displayed the frequency of failing boot procedures is greatly diminished. I'm considering trying to add 'verbose' to grub's parameters to see if that produces more output and maybe further reduces the frequency, but I haven't had the time to do that yet. Something on the TODO list :-) Anyway, here's the ls -la output: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 200 Dec 18 13:05 ./ drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 100 Dec 18 13:02 ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 18 13:02 04b82e8b-f871-4abb-978a-44ae44c5d1f7 -> ../../sda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 18 13:02 595bcdbf-6436-45a7-99d2-297a3dd85930 -> ../../sda6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 18 13:02 693c71eb-d411-4ee0-a1b3-c577df02e01b -> ../../sda9 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 18 13:02 6bcb2a05-33c9-402b-8093-e6a35ffd7aa1 -> ../../sda8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Dec 18 13:05 82e52787-6072-4af9-a5e6-2d88c365e62b -> ../../loop0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 18 13:02 c5591eff-0a6c-4310-bb11-7d5535f7da7b -> ../../sda7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 18 13:05 e289e4ad-be1d-42a8-9b38-f4dad9473520 -> ../../dm-0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 18 13:02 ea8202e7-4564-424c-af70-a6a640fafb65 -> ../../sda5 ~ I'll do the 'debug' addition later this weekend, like you requested.

Dear Michael Biebl, you wrote: > What happens afterwards? Are you dropped into the rescue shell? Afterwards (i.e., after the initial failure message) the system tries to continue booting, but shows lots of failure messages, eventually grinding to a halt. No reboot (e.g. ctrl-alt-del) is possible and there's no rescue shell. > If not, try to enable the debug shell by adding "systemd.debug-shell" to > the kernel command line. This will give you a root shell on tty9. Unfortunately, it doesn't, since the system halts (I first removed the automatic reboot on failure). However, during the process I observed that setting systemd.debug-shell and removing the default 'quiet' specification from grub's /etc/default/grub (so, now it specifies: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="systemd.debug-shell" greatly reduces the chances of a failing boot. Not completely, but greatly. Still, when rebooting fails there's just the plain halt, w/o a debug shell. Since removing the quiet also produces a lot more output on the screen, might my problem not simply be some timing problem? -- Frank B.

No, that's not what happens. I mean that doing a reboot using ctrl-alt-del isn't possible. Switching VTs is no problem, but except for VT1 nothing was being shown. But maybe I overlooked things when I sent you the previous reply: see below. > That would sound like a kernel problem. > > might my problem not simply be some timing problem? > > Can you make a screenshot or a video from the boot process with "quiet" > removed from the kernel command line. I did. Not only that, I also tried to reboot again and this time I was able to run the commands you asked before from tty9: systemctl status systemd-analyze dump journalctl -alb This time the debug shell prompt was available at tty9, although booting failed. And in line with my previous findings, systemd-analyze and journalctl weren't available, as they live in /usr/bin, and /usr hadn't been mounted. But after mounting /usr from tty9 and then using the mount command systemd-analyze and journalctl were available, so I also have the output from those commands for you. The output, and the mp4 movie I made during the booting process are a bit too large for the e-mail, but they are available for download/inspection at https://www.icce.rug.nl/systemd/ Cheers, -- Frank B.

We're still working out how to handle this issue. The plan is to do an so bump to version 4 of the bobcat library. Some time ago (early August) Debian's experimental distro offered a g++ 5 release that indeed created a library in which the public symbols were changed. We think that bumping the so version, in line with an earlier e-mail by Matthias, effectively handlres the new symbols issue. However, by now the g++ 5 compiler no longer is available in Debian's experimental distribution, but only in Debian's stretch (testing) and sid(unstable) distros, and these compilers don't use the new naming conventions.

In this case, though, I would suggest simply adding -V to your call to dh_makeshlibs, such that packages built against libbobcat1 always depend on at least the upstream version against which they were built. Dear Aaron, Thank you for filing this bug against Bobcat. You're of course absolutely right and I think your suggestion is a valuable one that can easily be met in future releases. Actually the bug filed against xd clarified the (dependency) bug that had crept into the dependencies list. The problem will be attacked along two main approaches: 1. paying more attention to ABI and API breakages; 2. making sure that (at least my :-) packages clearly display the bobcat version against which the package should be linked. This reply was (of course) not written to close the bug; it was primarily sent to let you and others know that I'm aware of the problem and that for now using the latest (now 1.21.1) Bobcat version with packages that depend on Bobcat should be enough to avoid problems. Current work in progress on Bobcat will probably result in version 2.01.1 from which point on more thorough attention will be paid to version dependencies. Cheers, -- Frank B.

Bug#499421: ecasound: manpage contains garbage
Dear Junichi and Adrian, Thanks for filing the Yodl bug report. You have a valid point (and I must admit I never considered that somebody might run yodl as the same user in parallel runs...). I also think that the problem is less severe than `serious' since the yodl2whatever script provides options allowing for this situation. Nevertheless, while I prepare a more elegant way to handle the problems you reported I suggest you use the options provided by yodl2whatever. Here are some considerations: By default the user name is used in the tmp files to prevent the tmp directory from getting clobbered by all kinds of leftovers from earlier runs. Although that file is intended for consumption by yodlpost sometimes it's read by humans as well. But that's the exception so it's probably more useful to remove it by default. Currently, the yodl2whatever script provides the --unique flag, which *will* create a unique filename (but the file will outlive the yodl run, so you'll have to do some cleaning up, I guess). In addition, the --tmp=path option is provided, so you could define different locations for, e.g., a man-page run and a html-run like this: For the man-page run: yodl2man --tmp=/tmp/adrian/man manpage.yo or yodl2man --unique --tmp=/tmp/adrian/man manpage.yo and for the html-document: yodl2html --tmp=/tmp/adrian/html htmlpage.yo or yodl2html --unique --tmp=/tmp/adrian/html htmlpage.yo I hope this reply solves the acute problem. If not, expect a new yodl release in a few days. Thanks again for the report, Cheers, -- Frank B.

Dear Falk Hueffner, you wrote: Package: yodl Version: 2.10-1 Severity: serious Justification: no longer builds from source Brrr... Sounds ominous. Especially since the 2.04a *did* build on Alpha. I looked at the logs, and did notice some unexpected and possibly serious warnings, which definitely need some attention. One of the changes implemented in version 2.10 is the use of size_t rather than unsigned. It looks as though that's both the cause of the unexpected warnings and the cause of the execution problem. Actually, yodl builds fine, but then its execution shows unexpected behavior. E.g., messages like std.html.yo:100: DEFINEMACRO: max. 61 arguments supported, not 1 are of course remarkable: if 61 is the maximum number, then 1 should not qualify for an error, should it? Now my problem is that as far as I know nobody in my environment uses the Alpha running Debian Linux. I can ask around, maybe one of my colleagues has an Alpha. But on the other hand: maybe you could provide me with a (temporary) account on an Alpha so I can research the problem's cause myself rather than using a real `man-in-the-middle' who I would constantly have to ask to perform the next test. So, thanks for letting me know about this problem. I'll certainly have a look at it as soon as possible. Depending on me gaining access to an Alpha, the repair may either come quickly or not as quickly. Cheers, -- Frank B.

Bug#391073: bisonc++: empty package on powerpc (known problem with icmake)
Dear Niko Tyni, you wrote: Package: bisonc++ Version: 1.4.0-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Hi, the powerpc package of bisonc++ is currently empty. This is a known problem in icmake (#388495) that was recently fixed upstream. The stealth package also suffered from it recently (#388423). :-) Thanks (again) for noting this problem. Fortunately, our torture has come to an end: the cause of the problem was a nasty bug that hid itself somewhere deep down in icmake, and appearing only in extremely seldom conditions (one of them furtunately came to light on the powerpc, as you were quick to note) This afternoon I filed an bugreport against icmake, asking Francesco to install a new upstream release, and we have to wait for that to happen before icmake can do its work properly on the PPC. It's quite likely that my other packages, e.g., yodl and bobcat show the same problem. but if there's a problem the upgrade will solve theirs too. Thanks, of course, for pointing this out. We'll wait closing this bug until the new icmake relase has been accepted by Francesco. [Cc: George Danchev] -- Frank B.
