Bug 213468 – sys-apps/paludis-0.26.0_alpha12: undefined symbol in ruby bindings

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Apeltauer 2008-03-15 07:20:44 UTC]

When I try to run a ruby script with paludis's ruby bindings the script stops immediately with the error message:
"/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/Paludis.so: /usr/lib/libpaludisruby.so.26: undefined symbol: _ZN7paludis18FakeRepositoryBase12add_categoryERKNS_9ValidatedISsNS_25CategoryNamePartValidatorELb1ENS_26DefaultValidatedComparatorISsEEEE - /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/Paludis.so (LoadError)
from ${script}:${l}"
where ${script} stands for the executed script and ${l} names the line which states "require Paludis", e. g.:
from /usr/share/paludis/ruby/demos/find_unused_distfiles.rb:4
I am using hardened stuff.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Execute any ruby script with "require 'Paludis'", e. g. /usr/share/paludis/ruby/demos/find_unused_distfiles.rb
Actual Results:  
/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/Paludis.so: /usr/lib/libpaludisruby.so.26: undefined symbol: _ZN7paludis18FakeRepositoryBase12add_categoryERKNS_9ValidatedISsNS_25CategoryNamePartValidatorELb1ENS_26DefaultValidatedComparatorISsEEEE - /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/Paludis.so (LoadError)

Expected Results:  
Executing of script (in above example lsit of distfiles not owned by currently installed package)

Reassigning to maintainer-needed since Stephen was retired as a Gentoo developer. See bug #64840 for reference.

[Comment 2 Ingmar Vanhassel (RETIRED) 2008-04-28 12:14:03 UTC]

Reassigning to maintainer.

[Comment 3 Piotr Stachura 2008-05-25 13:59:35 UTC]

I can confirm that on 0.26.1 version. When running playman I've got:
/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/Paludis.so: /usr/lib/libpaludisruby.so.26: undefined symbol: _ZN7paludis18FakeRepositoryBase12add_categoryERKNS_9ValidatedISsNS_25CategoryNamePartValidatorELb1ENS_26DefaultValidatedComparatorISsEEEE - /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/Paludis.so (LoadError)
        from /usr/bin/playman:20

[Comment 4 Christian Apeltauer 2009-01-25 15:11:27 UTC]

The bug reappeared in paludis-0.34.0. Shall I open a new bug report for it?

[Comment 5 Thomas Anderson (tanderson) (RETIRED) 2009-03-10 16:08:42 UTC]

Would you upgrade to the latest version and report if you still get this error?

[Comment 6 Christian Apeltauer 2009-04-04 19:39:00 UTC]

I did not get the error with version 0.36.0 any more.

[Comment 7 Thomas Anderson (tanderson) (RETIRED) 2009-04-04 20:11:12 UTC]

Marking as FIXED, I believe it was fixed some time ago(0.28).
