Bug 602646 – net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.5.10 - ld: /usr/lib64/libcyrus_min.a(libconfig.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastian Damm 2016-12-14 14:44:12 UTC]

When compiling cyrus-imapd on amd64, the install phase fails with the following error. From what I read at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:AMD64/Fixing_-fPIC_Errors_Guide this is a case 3 and thus a bug in the ebuild. Could someone fix it please?

I'm having the same/ a similar problem. This seems to be it in my case:

I can confirm with cyrus-imapd-2.5.10 as well.

[Comment 6 Thomas Beutin 2017-04-03 07:27:05 UTC]

Hi Devs, i don't want to bother, but what's necessary to mark this bug at least "confirmed"?

[Comment 7 Thomas Beutin 2017-05-10 09:36:43 UTC]

On net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.5.11-r1 it's the same.

[Comment 8 Thomas Beutin 2017-05-10 13:44:33 UTC]

I could come around this by uninstalling net-mail/cyrus-imapd first.

On the new install compile run i got some messages like
"libtool: warning: '/usr/lib/libjansson.la' seems to be moved"
but the installation completes w/o further errors.

[Comment 9 Eray Aslan 2017-05-16 14:15:59 UTC]

Please check net-mail/cyrus-imapd-3.0.1 and let me know if you still have the same problem.  Thank you.

Yes, 3.0.1 makes the same error:

As long as this bug is not fixed i would kindly ask to postpone the removal of net-mail/cyrus-imap-admin-2.4.17-r1::gentoo

[Comment 12 Thomas Beutin 2017-05-30 13:55:26 UTC]

btw: updating to =net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.4.18 works (after unmasking), which is safe according to bug 561884

i attached the build.log of cyrus-imapd-2.5.10 from the system where i updated to net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.4.18 today.

[Comment 16 Sebastian Damm 2017-06-19 10:31:33 UTC]

After trying to install cyrus-imapd again (2.5.10 and 3.0.1 gave the same results), I looked whether I could fix it myself. And stumbled upon this thread in the Gentoo forum: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8037076.html

Turns out, this problem only exists when upgrading cyus-imapd from pre-2.5 releases (in my case it was 2.4.17) to a post-2.5 release. When removing the old cyrus-imapd first, emerging the new version works fine, at least on my machine. (If you want to make sure, you have a way back to your old version, you can create packages with quickpkg of your currently installed package before uninstalling.)

Hope this helps some people stuck with the masked version, too.

i can confirm this (on my testing machine), but IMHO this is not a serious option unless someone can confirm this highly uncommon procedure keeps all local data (configuration, mailbox data, mailbox metadata) intact.

What installs /usr/lib64/libcyrus_min.a in the first place? Can we get rid of it?

Breaking it down:

libtool: relink: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -shared  -fPIC -DPIC
#[lots of objects]
# Linking against anything in LIBDIR:
-Wl,--as-needed -L/usr/lib64
# Linking against new libraries:
-L/mnt/ramsch/gentoo/tmp/portage/net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.5.10/image//usr/lib64
# Dynamically linked libraries:
-lcyrus_com_err -lcyrus_min

The solution is quite literally to move the -L/usr/lib64 argument after the -L/mnt/ramsch/gentoo/tmp/portage/net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.5.10/image//usr/lib64 argument so that it finds the new libraries first.

it's from net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.4.18:

# equery b /usr/lib64/libcyrus_min.a
 * Searching for /usr/lib64/libcyrus_min.a ... 
net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.4.18 (/usr/lib64/libcyrus_min.a)

Something like this maybe. Not sure. Why don't you version your patches, btw?

Yes, but that's entirely beside the point: Why install a static archive that literally no one cares about and then bites back at you on the upgrade?

please check with 3.0.10

Thanks
