Thanks a lot Iñaki for narrowing down the problem. That is definitely an important insight that might bring us forward. ++ On Thu, 15 Jun 2023 at 02:28, Iñaki Ucar wrote: > On Thu, 15 Jun 2023 at 00:04, Alexandre Courtiol > wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > The admin from our setup created a

Hi all, The admin from our setup created a script that should help you reproduce our problem (see below). Of course, it may be that it is not an RPM-related issue, but we hope you will have an idea on how to solve the issue all the same. # 1. Prepare VM and set up Samba - install Fedora 38

Thanks again, unfortunately it still fails when mounting the drive on a windows machine (even using nolease) on our end. We will prepare a fully reproducible example using a virtual machine. This could take us a day or two. ++ On Tue, 13 Jun 2023 at 11:05, Iñaki Ucar wrote: > On Tue, 13 Jun

Thanks a lot for persevering. Iñaki, that sounds very promising, could you please tell me what software your SMB share is running on (i.e. what does the server side look like?), and if it's Samba, then what version did you use? (and yes, I am aware of your excellent cran2copr

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the issue here. :( I mounted a smb share, created a symlink from ~/R, and installed dplyr without any issue (apart from the installation process taking ages). Fortunately, this rules out our binary R package as responsible for the issue you are experiencing,

The log of you running configure on your instance allows me to compare it to the log of when we build it as a package (you don't need to provide that one). Honestly, I have no idea right now _why_ pre-built R would fail to move files to a cifs share when a non-root user can do it. I'm hoping

Okay, so if it's not SELinux... perhaps something about how R is being configured is different? Can you provide a log of the output (including the commandline with any options passed) for configure? Also, can you provide the specific mount options for the cifs share? ~spot On Mon, Jun 12, 2023

Ok, then last check before trying to reproduce this locally: is the staged installation enabled too in the cases you don't see this issue? Iñaki On Mon, 12 Jun 2023 at 15:12, Alexandre Courtiol wrote: > > Thanks for the tip but nope: SELinux is off on that system... > > On Mon, 12 Jun 2023 at

[R-sig-Fedora] Problem with R, staged installation for packages, and samba share

2023-06-12 Thread Alexandre Courtiol
Dear Fedora-R enthusiasts, We are experiencing some issues with the binary releases of R 4.3 for Fedora 37 & 38 when running it on our infrastructure. The issue is that packages won't install, unless the (default) staged installation process for packages is switched off (--no-staged-install).
