Esteemed maintainers,

Currently, Calibre can't open .epub files unless `qtwebengine` package is
also available in one's $GUIX_PROFILE. Neither can the stand-alone
`ebook-viewer` program supplied with Calibre. It exits with the complaint:
"Could not find QtWebEngineProcess".

Attached is a patch to fix the issue. QtWebEngineProcess is now made
available to all Calibre binaries via QTWEBENGINE_PATH set during a new
'wrap-program phase introduced with the patch.

Thank you

Brendan already proposed a patch for this problem in his series updating
calibre to 4.22.0 see http://issues.guix.gnu.org/42885#4

Sorry for the duplicated effort, but maybe you can chime in there. It
seems so that there is some work left to get the update merged...

There is actually a Bug report by Andreas for this very issue. I created 
a bug report just for updating, and fixed this issue after it while I 
could, without realising. Sorry for all the confusion with things 
happening in 3 different threads.

I created an updated patch just for this one here. 
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43151#5

Your patch also works I think but it will wrap the programs twice, so 
you will get calibre, .calibre-real, and ..calibre-real-real, etc for 
every program, which seems ugly. My patch reproduces the same PYTHONPATH 
that is set in python-build-system in addition to wrapping PYTHONPATH 
(unless I made a mistake), although at the cost of code duplication. I 
leave it to you and who ever is reviewing this to decide which way is 
more correct and push one, haha.


Please continue any discussion of the QtWebEngine bug on issue 43121: 
43151@debbugs.gnu.org / https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43151

I see.

Yes, it does make sense now why you chose to replace the 'wrap phase.

I wonder.... perhaps it'd be better altogether if the (wrap-program)
procedure could be re-written to not make ..*.real.real programs...? That
would save us a lot of code-duplication...

Actually there is such a thing that can be use for scripts. It's 
wrap-script. I had sort of forgotten about it because I believe it has a 
bug where it passes command line arguments incorrectly, so wasn't using 
it: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/40039 . Would be worth looking in to again.

Looking at the definition of wrap-program in (guix build utils) there is
code that checks if the wrapper already exists; if it does it should
append the new environment variable definitions to the existing
wrapper.  It looks like this doesn’t work reliably.

If someone could figure out why that is we could fix this in the next
core-updates cycle.

I see. Thank you for the update.

Hopefully (wrap-program) will be fixed soon. That should save us a lot of
code-duplication.

When given "foo", wrap-program checks if ".foo-real" exists and thus 
concludes that "foo" is a wrapper and appends, however, despite the fact 
that the wrapper? procedure exists, it is not actually used at any time 
to check if ".foo-real" its self was passed to wrap-program. Therefore 
it happily wraps wrappers if it is given one. For example 
glib-or-gtk-build-system uses (find-files bindir ".*") to find files to 
pass to wrap-program. This ".*" regular expression matches hidden 
dotfiles. I copy-pasted everything to make a new build system and added 
an error for (wrapper? prog) and it exposed this. changingI guess then 
we should patch wrap-program to add

(when (wrapper? prog)
     (error (string-append prog " is a wrapper. Refusing to wrap.")))

at the start.

Then fix all uses of wrap-program so that they dont recieve -real files.

In glib-or-gtk-build-system.scm, chanding bin-list to:

(bin-list     (filter (lambda (file) (not (wrapper? file)))
                                      (append (find-files bindir ".*")
                                              (find-files libexecdir 
".*"))))

seems to fix it, at least in the case of gedit, a program that currently 
produces a nested wrapper. Ill play with it more tomorrow.

Should it really refuse to wrap or *add* its variables to the existing
wrapper?

If there is a /bin/foo and /bin/.foo-real created by wrap-program, and 
we are to run another wrap-program phase, under what circumstances would 
it /not/ be a mistake to call (wrap-program "/bin/.foo-real") instead of 
(wrap-program "/bin/foo")? And if the first one was called, probably it 
was because find-files was used and the packager didn't realise it was 
happening, and therefore it will be double-wrapped, like gedit is.

Oh, yes, that would be a mistake.

While we're at it, what do you think about changing the moved file from 
/bin/.foo-real into /bin/.real/foo, or maybe it would have to go up a 
directory and go into /.bin-real/foo. That would mean all these dot 
files wouldn't pollute PATH and appear in things like bemenu, or in 
window titles. Also pkill should be able to kill correctly based on the 
name. Would it break more things somehow?

I’d rather not move these things to other directories because some
applications are very sensitive to relative location.

I think we should be using “wrap-script” where possible (because many
wrapped applications really are scripts) and think of another in-place
wrapping mechanism for binaries.

I have come to understand wrap-program a little better and I realised 
your patch could have actually been fixed in a better way than I did. 
The issue is with the part of your code that runs


(find-files "." ".*")


This is what matches all the .calibre-real files

If instead of that, it was:

(find-files "." (lambda (file stat) (not (wrapper? file))))

or

(find-files "." (lambda (file stat) (not (string-prefix "." (basename 
file))))

It should avoid double wrapping. An even simpler way would have been to 
use (add-before 'wrap ..., instead of (add-after 'wrap ...

If you are still interested, feel free to make a patch overwriting mine 
to use this more correct method, instead of where i duplicated the wrap 
PYTHONPATH bit.

The fact that this happened is a bug though. I created some patches I 
think fix this for core-updates. It would have made your original patch 
error and force you to fix it: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43367
