bug#48214: inetutils-1.9.4 build fails

[Bone Baboon via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

On a x86_64 computer when I run `guix build --no-substitutes --keep-failed inetutils` the build fails because of one failed test.

`guix describe` outputs:

Looks like the same cause as <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48213>: 
missing IPv6 support on the host kernel.

Thank you for pointing this out.

I have reported this to the inetutils bug mailing list and asked if the
inetutils test suite could be modified so that syslogd.sh does not fail
if IPv6 is disabled.

I looked for tests/runtime-ipv6.c in the inetutils's build tree.  I
could not find it.  I looked up the current version of inetutils which
is 2.0.  Guix has 1.9.4 of inetutils packaged.

Based on the response I received on the inetutils mailing list it sounds
like updating the inetutils package to 2.0 may resolve this failing
test.

I tried to build inetutils from the file inetutils-2-0.scm attached.
It's only changes are the version number and hash for inetutils 2.0. It
failed with this error:

On the inetutils mailing list it was suggested that I try inetutils 2.0
on the core-updates branch.  I can successfully build inetutils 2.0 from
the core-updates branch even with IPv6 disabled.

What is the purpose of the core-updates branch?

If inetutils follows semantic version numbering then that would suggest
a breaking change to the inetutils API moving from 1.9.4 to 2.0.  Can
the Guix master branch provide inetutils 2.0 instead of 1.9.4?

How can I use a package definition from core-updates with guix build or
in a system configuration if it is not available on Guix's master
branch?

What are the reasons I might not want to use a package from the
core-updates branch?

The ‘core-updates’ branch contains updates to core packages and core
Guix functionality that entails a rebuild of all the packages.  In that
branch we put package upgrades that would otherwise lead to too many
rebuilds (info "(guix) Submitting Patches").

No: ‘guix refresh -l inetutils’ shows that almost 2,000 packages depend
on inetutils.

That said, if needed, ‘master’ could provide 2.0 in addition to 1.9, as
is done for GDB for instance.

You can do better :-), you can install 2.0 from master like so:

  guix install inetutils --with-latest=inetutils

> What are the reasons I might not want to use a package from the

‘core-updates’ is where we put core changes as I wrote, including
experimental changes.  That branch also does not receive security
updates in a timely fashion.  So it’s really a branch for developers
working on core improvements.

HTH!

Thank you for sharing that command.

I prefer to build locally over using substitutes.  When I try to run
`guix build inetutils --no-substitutes --with-latest=inetutils` it does
not complete because there is an interactive prompt.  The prompt says
"Would you like to add this key to your keyring
'<path/to/trustedkeys.kbx>'?".  I have a substitute server that is
sequentially building packages unattended and this would cause it to
become stuck and make no further progress.

Thank you for explaining this.

What is the process for a package to be brought into master from core-updates?

---

I would rebuild all the packages on my system if I could use inetutils
2.0.  Is there a way that I can rebuild all the packages I am using that
depend on inetutils to use inetutils 2.0 (or more generally any newer
version of package from core-updates)?

Would having multiple versions of inetutils in master also create
multiple versions of packages that depend on inetutils for example a
version of isc-dhcp that depends on inetutils 1.9 and another that
depends on inetutils 2.0?

---

Not having inetutils 2.0 in master appears to break how I connect to the
internet using Guix if I do both of these:
* Disable IPv6
** See my previous email in this thread that explains the rationale on
   why I am disabling IPv6.
* Build from source

isc-dhcp fails to build because it depends on inetutils 1.9 which is
failing.  I am using isc-dhcp when I connecting to the internet.

Right, the problem is that since you're avoiding substitutes, you need
to fix the core 'inetutils' package in order to build your system at
all.

Moreover, you're also having problems with overly aggressive test
timeouts in 'glib' (see <https://bugs.gnu.org/48024#20>), you'll need to
fix that package as well.

I've outlined one possible way forward here:

  https://bugs.gnu.org/48024#80

However, Ludovic might know of other alternatives.

      Mark

FWIW, inetutils is not following semantic versioning, and 2.0 is
expected to be a simple drop-in for 1.9.4.

The interactive prompt is about authenticate the source code tarball,
inetutils-2.0.tar.gz.  It does not relate to substitutes.

Submitting a patch the usual way, but making it clear in the subject
line that it targets ‘core-updates’.

You could maintain your own branch where the default inetutils is 2.0.

No; what I suggest above would just address the case where people run
‘guix install inetutils’ or it could change the one in
/run/current-system/profile.

Unfortunately I don’t have a good solution for you.  :-/

We could change isc-dhcp in ‘master’ so that it depends on inetutils
2.0, but that looks like a band-aid.

bug#48214: inetutils-1.9.4 build fails

[Bone Baboon via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

I have done several pulls since reporting that inetutils failed to
build.  I can now build inetutils-1.9.4 successfully.  I still have IPv6
disabled. I do not know what the cause of the build failure was.  I do
not know why it can now build (likely a recent commit).

bug#48214: inetutils 1.9.4 builds successfully

[Bone Baboon via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

Closing bug#48214 because inetutils 1.9.4 now builds successfully even
with IPv6 disabled.

bug#48214: inetutils-1.9.4 build fails

[Bone Baboon via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 290 bytes --]

I have reopened bug#48214 because while inetutils-1.9.4 can be built on
x86_64 with IPv6 disabled this command fails on x86_64 with IPv6
disabled `guix build --no-substitutes --system=i686-linux` inetutils`.
This command has the same failing test.  Attached is the failing i686
build log.

Does this issue still exist?  Now we have inetutils-2.0 in master, and will
have 2.3 soon after core-updates merged...

bug#48214: Close

[Andreas Enge]

Closing the bug, feel free to open a new one if the problem persists with
newer versions.
