Bug 59676 – app-sci/calc-2.11.9.3 fails to emerge due to a problems with make chk while sandboxed

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Martin Parm 2004-08-07 02:57:00 UTC]

app-sci/calc-2.11.9.3 fails to emerge. The problem is in
  make chk
which is the last step in src_compile().
  ebuild /usr/portage/app-sci/calc/calc-2.11.9.3.ebuild compile

fails with
  CALCPATH=./cal ./calc -d -q read regress 2>&1 | awk -f check.awk
  make: *** [chk] Error 1

  !!! ERROR: app-sci/calc-2.11.9.3 failed.
  !!! Function src_compile, Line 28, Exitcode 2
  !!! (no error message)

However executing 

  CALCPATH=./cal ./calc -d -q read regress 2>&1 | awk -f check.awk

manually works well. This made me turn to the sandbox. So I tried with sandboxshell and without the awk-script that hides what really happens.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ebuild /usr/portage/app-sci/calc/calc-2.11.9.3.ebuild compile (this of course failes but leaves the compiles calc in /var/tmp/portage)
2. cd /var/tmp/portage/app-sci/calc-2.11.9.3/work/calc-2.11.9.3
3. sandboxshell
4. CALCPATH=./cal ./calc -d -q read regress 2>&1

Actual Results:  
. [a bunch of other tests]
.
.
4242: x == a && y == b
4243: !iserror(freopen(f, "w+"))
4244: L = "Landon\n"
4245: C = "     Curt\n"
4246: N = "\t\tNoll\n"
Segmentation fault


Expected Results:

9999: Ending regression tests


I'm using portage-2.0.50-r9 on a gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r10. I just confirmed 
the bugs on a second machine using portage-2.0.50-r9 on a gentoo-sources-2.4.22-
r7.

Created attachment 40706 [details]
Test program for sandbox

The attached test program shows the core of the problem: freopen in sandbox
results in an invalid file handle. Looks like this kind of problem should have
been fixed since glibc-2.2.5-r6 - no idea why it happens again. Trying to find
some experts for this.

[Comment 2 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2004-09-29 07:00:33 UTC]

Additional info: works with glibc-2.3.2-r9 - fails with glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r1.

Maybe the toolchain team can tell me more about comment #1?

Mike - since you seem to maintain sandboxshell, perhaps you have an idea?

[Comment 5 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2005-04-28 00:22:52 UTC]

Can't reproduce this with either of the versions in portage when using the latest sandbox.
