emerge --info ghc

Hello.

Here's the qcheck output on my machine:

$ qcheck ghc

  * 5697 out of 5714 files are good

I've run all the rebuilds after ghc update. @preserved-rebuild and revdep-rebuild are both clean.

The similar problem affects multiple Haskell packages installed on my machine:

dev-haskell/json-0.9.1
dev-haskell/mtl-2.2.1-r1
dev-haskell/parsec-3.1.9-r1
dev-haskell/primitive-0.5.1.0
dev-haskell/quickcheck-2.8.1
dev-haskell/random-1.0.1.1-r1
dev-haskell/regex-base-0.93.2-r1
dev-haskell/regex-tdfa-1.2.0
dev-haskell/text-1.2.2.1
dev-haskell/tf-random-0.5
dev-haskell/transformers-0.4.3.0

The problem is again missing files in /usr/lib64/ghc-7.8.4/.

Please fix.

Please describe what exactly you did with files on your filesystem
around package manager.

Especially /usr/lib64/ghc-7.8.4/ contents. It looks like you've
manually wiped out files preserved by portage.

And please post contents of
    /var/db/pkg/dev-lang/ghc-7.10.3/CONTENTS
and other packages that are affected.

I didn't do any manual operations with the haskell toolchain or packages.
They are only updated via portage on my machine.

Here's CONTENTS from one of the affected haskell packages.
There are about ten of them if you need those too I'll attach them.

+dev-portage

Interesting. I think it's a portage bug of not cleaning up CONTENTS
files when @preserved-rebuild deleted empty directories with unused
SOLIBs.

My speculation of seqence of actions is:
1. dev-lang/ghc-7.8.4 gets installed onto the system and installs dynamic libraries
   in non-standard directoryies
    /usr/lib64/ghc-7.8.4/array-0.5.0.0/array.so # the real hames are a bit longer
    /usr/lib64/ghc-7.8.4/base-4.7.0.2/base.so
2. dev-haskell/transformers-0.4.3.0 gets installed and links against those libraries
3. dev-lang/ghc-7.10.3 gets installed but preserved-libs attributes
   7.8.4 libraries to new package
4. emerge @preserved-rebuild rebuilds dev-haskell/transformers-0.4.3.0
   and relinks it against /usr/lib64/ghc-7.10.3/array-0.6.0.0/array.so
5. portage tries to cleanup /usr/lib64/ghc-7.8.4/array-0.5.0.0/array.so
   from preserved libs, deletes empty directory /usr/lib64/ghc-7.8.4/
   but does not emove (now empty) directory from CONTENTS.

We get corrupted CONTENTS.

This should be enough. It exibits the same problem as with ghc.
Thanks!

+Zac as he might know more than others about @preserved-libs :)

Yeah, that makes sense, because the vardbapi.removeFromContents method is responsible and it makes no attempt to remove empty directories from CONTENTS.
Comment 9 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-05-26 07:37:51 UTC
I've built a small repo-reroducer:
    https://github.com/trofi/portage-bug-583986-repo

You need to merge an =app/app-0 with and without USE=lib1 in any order.
It triggers the same behaviour:

::

    sudo ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='**' PORTDIR_OVERLAY=. USE=-lib1 emerge -v1 app/app
    sudo ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='**' PORTDIR_OVERLAY=. USE=lib1  emerge -v1 app/app
    qcheck lib/lib

We get the output as:

::

    >>> Emerging (1 of 2) lib/lib-1::portage-bug-583986-repo
    >>> Installing (1 of 2) lib/lib-1::portage-bug-583986-repo
    >>> Emerging (2 of 2) app/app-0::portage-bug-583986-repo
    >>> Installing (2 of 2) app/app-0::portage-bug-583986-repo
    
    Checking lib/lib-1 ...
     AFK: /usr/lib/lib-2
      * 9 out of 10 files are good
