Hi,
I believe I may have come across a potential bug in pkg_add, but
wanted to write my findings out to see if anyone has seen this
issue, or knows of something I may be doing wrong.
I wrote a port that uses USERS/GROUPS functionality of ports.
USERS= user
GROUPS= user_work
BINOWN= user
BINGRP= user_work
BINMODE= 4110
These are the exec lines in my +CONTENTS file (assume one line for
each exec, they were wrapped):
@exec if ! /usr/sbin/pw groupshow user_work /dev/null 21;
then /usr/sbin/pw groupadd user_work -g 999; fi
@exec if ! /usr/sbin/pw usershow user /dev/null 21;
then /usr/sbin/pw useradd user -u 999 -g 999 -c user
-d /home/user -s /usr/sbin/nologin; fi
I found that on my desktop with a ports tree installed that this
port and package installed with no issue, however I found that if I
tried to install the package in a jail with no ports tree and
nothing installed that it failed with this error:
pw: group `999' does not exist
pkg_add: command 'if ! /usr/sbin/pw usershow user /dev/null 21;
then /usr/sbin/pw useradd user -u 999 -g 999 -c user
-d /home/user -s /usr/sbin/nologin; fi' failed
You may want to run pkg_add -v and see if the group is created
properly by the preceding @exec line and if not, why.
I found that the group that was being added already existed under a
different gid. The user was being added with a gid that didn't exist,
however the group name did.
After blowing away the jail and removing the group, pkg_add installed
the package with no issue.
I removed all remnants of the installation (these packages were all
successful builds in Tinderbox), including installed users/groups. I
copied my UIDs and GIDs files to an empty /usr/ports directory. So
the only files under /usr/ports were UIDs and GIDs.
With these files in place, I reran the pkg_add command on the port
package I created and it installed the user and group with no issue,
with correct permissions and modes on the files.
With this testing, it appears that pkg_add is looking
at /usr/ports/UIDs and /usr/ports/GIDs for information on
installing a port package, even-though all of the information
required for an installation appears to be in my port package.
I re-tested this process after blowing away the jail and found that
pkg_add is not looking at these files.
Has anyone run into this issue? Any assumptions I am making? Any
flawed logic in testing?
I haven't tried to install packages in a jail lately but having
written the USERS/GROUPS logic in bsd.port.mk, the package shouldn't
need a ports tree to be installed properly.
Thanks!
