Bug 92102 – dev-libs/apr-0.9.6-r3 breaks apache and subversion

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Markus Tacker 2005-05-10 04:08:19 UTC]

After emerging dev-libs/apr-0.9.6-r3 and rebuilding apache and dev-libs/apr-util apache dies with segmentation fault.

Subversion has problems with strings "svn: Can't recode string".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Same here, with the addition of all memory and swap being used when apache tried to run.

Re-emerging apr-0.9.6-r3 with CFLAGS="" and then re-emerging apr-util apache and subversion got everything working again.

CFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=pentium3 -ftree-ccp -ftree-dce -ftree-dominator-opts -ftree-dse -ftree-ter -ftree-lrs -ftree-sra -ftree-copyrename -ftree-fre -ftree-ch -pipe", about half of -O1 for gcc-4, are what seems to have broken apr on this machine.

[Comment 2 Pierre Poissinger 2005-05-10 08:45:43 UTC]

Same problems here,
After updating apr, apache childs segfault at opening request...
[The problem started with apache beeing crazy when opening includes files
(the include handling looked completely broken - re-emerged apache fixed this problem ]

Since I didn't notice the update of apr when emerging -Du world (baaad)
I tried multiple time to emerge/unmerge apache and all the other one...

Tried to emerge apr with empty CFLAG didn't help, reemerge apr-util (normal cflags) on the other hand fixed it.

Re-emerge apr with normal cflags didn't break it again... so the issue must be linked with the need of recompilation of both apache and apr-util after apr emerge...

[Comment 3 richard juckes 2005-05-10 08:59:48 UTC]

Yes, sorry, can now re-emerge apr with CFLAGS as comment #1, and apache/subversion work, without their being again re-emerged.

[Comment 4 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2005-05-10 11:35:14 UTC]

emerge ~dev-libs/apr-0.9.6 ~dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.6 =net-www/apache-2.0.54

if you use mod_* or subversion, re-emerge it after this..

Make sure you FULLY STOP apache. Don't restart it. Then start it.

All will be well.

thx beu.

[Comment 5 Markus Tacker 2005-05-11 01:44:28 UTC]

And it went well ;)

I rebuilded
dev-libs/apr-0.9.6-r3
dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.6-r2
net-www/apache-2.0.54-r1
dev-php/mod_php-5.0.4
dev-util/subversion-1.1.4 to /

[Comment 6 Markus Tacker 2005-05-11 02:27:06 UTC]

So as it is technically not a bug, I close it.

[Comment 7 Peter Thomassen 2005-05-11 11:27:41 UTC]

So, is there a possibility to rebuild all packages depending on apr without the knowledge of which these are? If this is true, maybe it should be automatically be done when emerging apr.

[Comment 8 Markus Tacker 2005-05-11 13:07:29 UTC]

Just use equery for this
# equery d dev-libs/apr
[ Searching for packages depending on dev-libs/apr... ]
dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.6-r2
dev-util/subversion-1.1.4
net-www/apache-2.0.54-r1
