Description DaggyStyle 2009-10-31 17:03:18 UTC
here is the error, it started yesterday after I've upgraded glib.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0.2200.2-gdb.py",
line 9, in <module>
    from gobject import register
  File "/usr/share/glib-2.0/gdb/gobject.py", line 3, in <module>
    import gdb.backtrace
ImportError: No module named backtrace
[Current thread is 1 (Thread 0x7f56706ff750 (LWP 15555))]


Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Tiago Macedo 2009-11-01 12:11:53 UTC
I'm having this issue as well. Running x86_64 too
Comment 2 DaggyStyle 2009-11-01 12:18:06 UTC
it may be connected to the fact that the installed version of dev-python/pygobject is 2.18.0
Tiago, what version of pygobject do you have installed?
Comment 3 Tiago Macedo 2009-11-01 15:47:37 UTC
2.2.0 here, that doesn't seem to be the issue.

I have 2 broken machines, I'm powering a third one that doesn't have this issue to see if I can figure out which package the backtrace module belongs to.
Comment 4 Tiago Macedo 2009-11-01 18:59:31 UTC
Compiling gdb without python support fixes this one
Comment 5 Jean-Baptiste Rouault 2009-11-02 16:25:49 UTC
The file gobject.py comes from glib-2.22.2, here's the glib bug related to the commit : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595619
The problem here is that they seems to use some gdb python modules which are not present in stable gdb, but only in some branch of the project archer (http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/PythonGdb)
Maybe a bug should be filed upstream about this ?

Seems that https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=291545 is a duplicate of this bug

sry when i ask: what else then building a python-gdb-module is the python-USE-Flag  for?
If it really is something no present in current gdb, why not entirely remove the python-USE-flag? If there was no python-USE-Flag I would (probably ;)) not have posted this duplicate report.
Comment 8 Franz Trischberger 2009-11-03 07:03:49 UTC
BTW:
glib does not crash your application! It is an error within the appcode itself (or probably its dependencies). Your application will still crash under the same circumstances as it did the last time.

This message arises, because you built Qt with glib-support, and it seems as glib also catches the crash and now tries to load the backtrace on it's own - with python trying to load gdb.backtrace.

In fact there is some python support in gdb, if you compile it with python useflag, you can use the "python" command in gdb and write some python scripts.

I've seen the traceback messages in regular crashes too so I don't think this is related at all to the original problem. Of course not having a real gdb backtrace of the failing programs and no emerge --info does not help.

like said before, emerging gdb without python support fixes it, not sure how I can get a real gdb backtrace in this situation, still here is the emerge --info:

Same problem here with kcminit crashing when starting a kde session.
'm re-emergind gdb without the python USE FLAG; hope it fixes the issue for me too..
Comment 15 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2010-04-30 10:20:26 UTC
What gdb version do you have? 7.0 should be enough per:

Reviewing gdb config.log I can see the following:

Configured with: /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.4.3-r2/work/gcc-4.4.3/configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.4.3 --includedir=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/include --datadir=/usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3 --mandir=/usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/man --infodir=/usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/info --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/include/g++-v4 --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --disable-altivec --disable-fixed-point --without-ppl --without-cloog --disable-nls --with-system-zlib --disable-checking --disable-werror --enable-secureplt --enable-multilib --enable-libmudflap --disable-libssp --enable-libgomp --with-python-dir=/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/python --enable-java-awt=gtk --enable-languages=c,c++,java,fortran --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --with-bugurl=http://bugs.gentoo.org/ --with-pkgversion='Gentoo 4.4.3-r2 p1.2'

That looks to my like a strange value for "python-dir", maybe ebuild should set --with-python-dir=/usr/share/gdb/python/gdb/command (as mandriva and fedora seem to do)

I think you are looking at the wrong config.log, from my build.log for gdb:

./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-pkgversion=Gentoo 7.1 p1 --with-bugurl=http://bugs.gentoo.org/ --disable-werror --with-expat --enable-nls --with-python

Also it does not seem to distribute files for backtrace.py here.

says who ?  just because one random distro (i.e. Fedora) is shipping experimental gdb branches that include random python files doesnt mean we should be or that random upstream projects (like glib) should be hard requiring them.

any project that requires gdb provide backtrace.py (simply because gdb itself supports the python scripting language) is broken.  i.e. nothing for toolchain to do with the gdb package here.

The issue is resolved, but not in my opinion, it isn't done correctly, since:

The punt-python-check.patch:
# Don't check for python, hence removing the build-time python dep.
    # We remove the gdb python scripts in src_install due to bug 291328
    epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PN}-2.24-punt-python-check.patch"
needs:


    # Needed for the punt-python-check patch.
    # Also needed to prevent croscompile failures, see bug #267603
    eautoreconf

Which will need:

>=dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.11 as dependency

The result:

gtk-doc-am inherits doc xml packages even if USE="-doc" is set.

Expected behaviour:

If USE="-doc" is set, no gtk-doc or doc xml package should be inherited.

Please reopen bug and fix.

Hi, I recently switched from python-2.6 to python-2.7 and run python-updater successfully. Then I tried to install a package I built of dev-libs/glib-2.28.8 using the old version of python but it failed claiming python-2.6 was not defined. I read the ebuild and got to this bug, and I think that python should still be a build dependency or dev-libs/glib added to the manual checks list of python-updater.

grepping in glib sources after applying all patches, looks like it still needs python at buildtime... but the dependency is ok (it's pulled in by python.eclass as we are setting PYTHON_DEPEND="2").

As you are suffering that problems with binpkgs, I think that is caused by bug 337320
