Watching Arm failures
Information Source:
[http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/architecture.php?a=arm Arm buildd]
This list of uninstallable packages can be useful for prioritisation too: http://ftp-master.debian.org/~aba/test-issues/current
Feel free to:
- add any new failures on the list
- move fixed issues to fixed issues section
- update any issues you have insight in
significant holds-ups
Currently much of gnome is not installable (gnome-session, gnome-panel, etc).
The main blocker appears to be gnome-control-panel. This needs a rebuild to update the dependency on libdbus-1. Other arches appear to have been binNMU, but not arm. Uploaded v_2.14.2-3+b1 on 2006-11-03.
evince also needa a rebuild for the same reasons and to update the dependency on libdjvulibre15.
The totem is failing to build because of dependency problems. This should resolve itself once gnome-control-panel is fixed.
java problems
- gij-4.1
This is our most important bug - please try to fix it ASAP
{{{Setting up gij-4.1 (4.1.1-13) ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/gij-4.1.postinst: line 20: 19362 Segmentation fault gcj-dbtool-4.1 -n /var/lib/gcj-4.1/classmap.db dpkg: error processing gij-4.1 (--configure):}}} This is preventing all sort of things building (lasso, pdftk). More info can be found at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=388505 and upstream: http://gcc.gnu.org/PR29206
This needs someone who understands something about java, gcc and arm to fix.
This has been worked-around in gij-4.1 by simply not running gcj-dbtool, but now it pops up in ecj-bootstrap instead. (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=394396). Another workaround is given in that bugreport, but apparently it just breaks the package.
- kaffe

Doesn't know about arm weird float format, and also hangs unless compiled with -O1. Now fixed. (2006-10-20). Uploaded 2006-10-23. hangs using jikes: {{{Adding java source files from VM directory ../vm/reference /usr/bin/jikes -q -g +Pno-shadow +Pno-switchcheck +F -encoding UTF-8 -bootclasspath
This should be fixed by #230601. needs rebuild, now jikes is there.
Java dependencies
A lot of java stuff is broken - some due to gij not installing some due to kaffe not building. We need to unbung this logjam. gij4-1 segfaults on setup (See above), but it has been worked around
need gij4.1 fixing:
- pdftk
- lasso
- libgnujaxp-java - throws SAXException during build
- ow-util-ant-tasks - waiting for kaffe-jthreads
- jmagick - waiting for kaffe-jthreads
- libglade-java - waiting for libgtk-jni
- libgetenv-java
- antlr- waiting for kaffe-jthreads
- cairo-java - waiting for liglib-java
- classlib
- eclipse
- libglade-java (libgtk-jni)
- libpano12
- gcjdoc
- libgconf-java (dep-wait)
gcc4 ICEs
unclassified ICE's
These need proper bugreports generating and filing upstream. Comparing against cvs-snapshot on an unstable system if you can.
- csound #329845
{{{ugsc.c: In function 'phaser1set': ugsc.c:334: fatal error: internal consistency failure compilation terminated.}}}
BinNMU needed
- libgnomeuimm2.6, needs a BinNMU of libgnomecanvasmm2.6 ( libgnomecanvasmm2.6 .la file refers to libs it does not depend on ). Wookey is doing this.
Normal issues
builds timing out
These may be due to a genuine problem, or may simply be that the buildd is struggling (thrashing) and would actually complete eventually.
- monotone #384565
- hugin. fails building a c++ file - confirmed to just be a timeout. Extend timeout and requeue
- crystalspace. see also #358545
- firefox
failed - bugs not yet filed
- mdadm doesn't build on arm, iaq64 or sparc. Compile error - looks fixable
- Harbour - gvies -- Invalid opcode 172 in hb_compPCodeEval() --- errors
failed - bugs filed
- vnc4 - #332682
- php4-vpopmail - #309558
- schism - #314816 is fixed. Now failing due to assuming WORD is 2 bytes. #393310
- libooc-vo #355140. Broken on all arches.
- kudzu #287244 - scheduled for complete removal
- crystalspace #358545. last build killed due to inactivity.
- kaptain - #375350
mdadm - #393314 - user in void user *data; preventing compilation. why?
- enchant - #393273 - libhunspell-dev not avaialble
- open21xx - #379159 fails on arm, s390, powerpc
- prc-tools-arm - #348273
- ser-jabber-module - #393713 empty package on arm
- tk8.3 - #278658 wish segfaults
- knoda - fails due to "cannot find -lpython2.4" . Actually a problem in libhk-classes13-dev. bug#391844.
depwait
currently (early nov 2006) 54 of these - especially java stuff is a problem - needs attention
needs retrying
- mixxx
- sablevm-classlib (now that jikes is fixed)
When kdelibs 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-3 is built
- kwin-style-crystal
- kmldonkey
- kalgebra
- strigiapplet
- klibido
- ksynaptic
When kdebase 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-1
- kwin-style-crystal
needs urgent research - regressions
- gmsh - broken build-depends #342968
- vegastrike
- pnet - #394764
- advi - assembler problem
needs research - never worked
- autounit - testsuite fails
- basilisk2 - uh.. some gruesome pthread-related sigaction() problem
- pistachio - ugly
- gwydion-dylan - lots ftbfs bugs on other archs too
- ultrapossum-slapd - ugly
- cduce - might be easy
- gcc-h8300-hms - needs a configure update or not-for-us
- atlc - just increase timeout @ buildd ?
- siptoolbox - #332526, maybe other problems too
- pose
- paintlib - #394728
- qemu
- widelands - needs porting
- sope
- mcvs
- numactl (for arm?)
- libgstreamer-perl
- dfsbuild
- mingw32
- util-vserver
- imview
- atlas3
mono
Mono can only build for v4 or later. see #394418. This seems fair enough. Investigation is still needed into why builds fail on some buildds (netwinders) but not others (cats), given that both of htese are very similar.
- gtk-sharp
- galago-sharp
buildd problems
- libembperl-perl - #337351 fails test after building: Performing httpd syntax check 1, but builds OK in local pbuild. Fails when pbuilder user is not in /etc/group - which is true on some buildds. Now built OK on another buildd, but some buildds may this fixing?
- perl Fixed by lowering optimization level, maintainer wants to fix properly, contact perl maintainer if you have an arm host where you can give him a host to log in. Due to some buildds having kernel configured without extended precision: 'CONFIG_FPE_NWFPE_XP'. buildds are having new kernels with this option installed.
not-for-us
These packages are not for arch=arm so are not expected to build. They still appear on the buildd status pages as failures.
- wmkbd
- gsnes9x
- libtexttools
- libopenspc - #326747
- vnstat
- imapcopy
- atokx2
- gwp
- mga-vid
- grub2
- defrag
- php4-maxdb
- newlib
- mesa-legacy
- xen-3.0 (build attempted but not expected to work)
- 915resolution
- ndiswrapper1.1
- qprof (builds are attemped for this package but it depends on libpfm3 which is only for i386/ia64 so I don't think it should be)
fixed/past issues
- jikes hanging/not getting fp sums right #230601 #377156
multisync - removed from testing due to 6 RC bugs, replaced by opensync (1 RC bug). (NeilWilliams).
