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:

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

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.

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 really is taking a very long time (common with building large C++ files and linking lots of things) 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
  • gtk-gnutella - structure packing bug - #397048
  • gnome-presence-applet - FTBFS on all arches. Not sure how it worked before. #389292

depwait

currently (early nov 2006) 54 of these - especially java stuff is a problem - needs attention

needs retrying

  • istanbul - failed due to missing python-gnome2-extras. Should build ok now
  • pdl - failed due to missing libglu1-xorg-dev. Should build ok now.
  • glob2 - failed due to missing libglu1-xorg-dev. Should build ok now.
  • fox1.6 - failed due to missing libglu1-xorg-dev. Should build ok now.
  • synfigstudio - failed due to missing libopenexr-dev. Should build ok now.
  • wallpaper-tray failed due to missing gnome. Should build ok now.
  • planner failed due to missing gnome. Should build ok now.
  • gwc failed due to missing gnome. Should build ok now.

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
  • bumprace - failed due to missing libglu1-xorg-dev. Should build ok now.
  • tunapie - failed due to missing libwxgtk2.6-0. Should build ok now.

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)
  • lsb-build-base3

fixed/past issues

  • jikes hanging/not getting fp sums right #230601 #377156
  • sablevm-classlib - not biulding due to jikes problems. Now built. Working java?

  • multisync - removed from testing due to 6 RC bugs, replaced by opensync (1 RC bug). (NeilWilliams).
