Bug #739874 - procps doesn't build on i386

2014-02-24 Thread Craig Small
I got a bug report stating that there is no i386 build for procps.
First I'm not really sure that's how bug reports work, but anyhow.

There doesn't seem to be a publically available i386 Debian machine
that supports building packages. This makes it nearly impossible to
support that architecture because I need to see what is going wrong.

I actually think the problem is something quirky with the specific
builder host, but have no way of knowing this. The reason is that
multiple versions of procps have been build and this 6-line change
for the latest did not touch the failed program or has anything to do
with it (the fix was for sysctl, the failure was in ps).

The problem seems to be the SCHED_BATCH scheduler didn't appear or apply
to  program.

#739874 should have been called a failure to build from source (FTBFS),
and could have linked to [1], but anyhow.

https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi says barriere is a porter box, and
as an amd64 host, it provides with amd64 and i386 chroots.

Or even better, to the actual build log:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=procpsarch=i386ver=1%3A3.3.9-3stamp=1392895618

I just hope you didn't mean to say that only perfect bug reports are 
welcome these days, and those merely good are somehow frowned upon.

No, I wasn't sure what Craig was not sure about, that's why I tried to
connect the dots with the usual FTBFS bug reports developers might be
(more?) familiar with.

(http://blog.zouish.org/posts/comtips/ etc.; looks like I failed, but
I'll keep trying.)

You guessed right, I understood what you meant and got a way forward;
thanks!

I apologize, Mr. Brulebois, if I did not use correct terminology in my
bug report.  I am neither a DD, nor a DM, just an ordinary Debian user.
I reported the symptoms as observed by an ordinary user.  Besides, I was
able to build the package binaries myself using dpkg-buildpackage on an
i386 machine, once I managed to get the 1:3.3.9-3 source code downloaded
and extracted with dpkg-source.  In other words, on my machine at least,
I did not get a FTBFS error.

It looks like its something strange on that particular pbuilder.
The problem is that barriere is even stranger and the programs won't
compile due to a header clash that has never been seen before.

It seems libc6-dev 2.18 has introduced a new define which clashes with
something top has.

/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/bits/waitflags.h:53:3: note: previous
definition of 'P_PID' was here

This small problem gets bigger each day.
