Bug 806875 – sys-fs/e2fsprogs: no longer fully debundles sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sam James 2021-08-07 05:33:13 UTC]

It doesn't seem that e2fsprogs correctly debundles all of the e2fsprogs-libs components anymore.

From #gentoo-base (30th July):
```
<@sam_> I was working on e2fsprogs a few weeks ago and I noticed that I actually had to apply patches to e2fsprogs-libs too in order for everyth
ing to apply consistently
<@sam_> I'm not 100% convinced that the debundling is actually working anymore (i.e. that e2fsprogs is using the system copy)
<@sam_> I poked at the sed and it doesn't seem to be changing anywhere near as much as it needs to be
<@sam_> So, does anyone know why they're actually split in the first place?
<@sam_> this became relevant because of bug 790191
<willikins> sam_: https://bugs.gentoo.org/790191 "sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.46.2: Tests failed: j_recover_csum2_32bit j_recover_csum2_64bit j_recover_f
ast_commit m_rootdir_acl"; Gentoo Linux, Current packages; CONF; eike:base-system
<@sam_> it looks like it dates back quite a while
<@sam_> upstream don't seem to intend for use of a system copy of -libs
<@sam_> tl;dr: e2fsprogs doesn't seem to actually use e2fsprogs-libs, even though it depends on it, and the test failures reported for it seem to be for -libs components, but patching just -libs doesn't fix them.
```

I spoke to dilfridge about this and he ended up finding that we used to have sys-libs/com_err and sys-libs/ss which were merged into sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs, although they seem rather deeply embedded within sys-fs/e2fsprogs nowadays.

dilfridge suggested, wrt removal of -libs:
- change all dependencies to directly depend on e2fsprogs (which atm pulls in -libs anyway)
- then the next version installs the libraries and blocks -libs

[Comment 2 Matt Whitlock 2021-09-14 23:49:07 UTC]

Could we get a "minimal" or "libs-only" USE flag for sys-fs/e2fsprogs? Portage now wants to merge sys-apps/util-linux into my early boot environment because sys-fs/e2fsprogs RDEPENDs on it. I have no need of any of the extfs utilities, as I have no extfs instances, but net-fs/nfs-utils needs the libraries from e2fsprogs. Sure, I could put sys-apps/util-linux in package.provided, but I'd like a less messy way to install just the libraries that nfs-utils needs without installing all the extfs utilities.

No objection to this, although I'd prefer something like USE=tools or whatever instead (to avoid "native USE flags"). Thanks for raising this.

Implemented. See the attached patch. (Of course, similar changes should be applied to all other versions of the ebuild.)

This patch:

 * switches to multilib-minimal (from no multilib)
 * blocks sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs
 * adds IUSE="+tools"
 * makes RDEPEND="sys-apps/util-linux" conditional on USE="tools"
 * wraps the <ext2fs/ext2_types.h> header since it differs by ABI
 * discontinues the external lib{com_err,ss} hack
 * builds the executables only for the native ABI and only if USE="tools"
 * builds lib{com_err,ss} for all enabled ABIs
 * builds lib{extfs,e2p} for all enabled ABIs and only if USE="tools"

If USE="-tools", then the ebuild installs only the files that sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs currently installs.

There is one logical improvement over the existing (in-tree) situation: if USE="tools", then the libraries that the tools use (libext2fs and libe2p) are built for *all* enabled ABIs rather than only for the native ABI. (These libraries are not built at all if USE="-tools".)

Note: Any packages that depend on sys-fs/e2fsprogs due to needing libext2fs or libe2p will now need to depend on sys-fs/e2fsprogs[tools(-)] because those libraries will not be installed if USE="-tools".

Correction: that dependency should be "sys-fs/e2fsprogs[tools(+)]" since versions of sys-fs/e2fsprogs prior to the addition of IUSE="tools" would have installed the needed libraries unconditionally.

Not forgot about this, btw. Need to compare with dilfridge's work in his overlay (he was worried about the multilib parts which he hadn't done yet) but it seems like you have.

Will try to look this weekend.

    anything needs libext2fs or libe2p.
    
    In terms of why we're doing this in the first place, the reason is that
    for quite some time, e2fsprogs has been using internal copies of
    the libraries provided by sys-fs/e2fsprogs-libs anyway, as observed when
    applying a patch for a test failure which then re-appeared in progs.
    
    That is, the split has been ineffective/a no-op for quite some time,
    and this just makes the ebuilds reflect reality.
    
    Splitting out the packages isn't supported upstream and requires
    some ugly work and it's not something we're interested in rebasing
    very often.]

(In reply to Sam James from comment #6)

e2fsprogs-1.46.4-r50.ebuild still has an unconditional RDEPEND on >=sys-apps/util-linux-2.16 in addition to the "tools?" conditional one. This looks like an oversight. Getting rid of that runtime dependency was my entire motivation. :/

[Comment 11 Brian Evans (RETIRED) 2022-02-11 01:19:32 UTC]

According to a forum post[1], once the unstable e2fsprogs-1.46.5 is built without the tools USE, it becomes impossible to build it with tools later.  I have not verified this.

Starting from a system that has no sys-fs/e2fsprogs installed whatsoever, I emerged sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.46.5[-tools] successfully and then emerged sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.46.5[tools] successfully.

It wouldn't make much sense if e2fsprogs requires a system header file that it itself supplies. It would be impossible to build e2fsprogs on any system that lacks e2fsprogs.

It does look as though app-misc/mc should be depending on sys-fs/e2fsprogs[tools] since it needs a library other than com_err and ss.

sys-fs/e2fsprogs[tools(+)]

(Older versions of sys-fs/e2fsprogs prior to the addition of the "tools" USE flag install the needed library unconditionally.)

[Comment 14 Matt Whitlock 2022-02-11 08:33:09 UTC]

I opened Bug 833110 for the app-misc/mc reverse dependency.

For me behavior is different, and this scenario fails. When my system is in the following state:
# find /usr/include/ -type f -iname "*ext2*"

build log of failing +tools emerge

[Comment 17 Brian Evans (RETIRED) 2022-02-11 14:09:23 UTC]

The tools issue is a MAKEOPTS race condition when the header is not already installed.  Raise it high enough to say -j12 on even the most underpowered box and it will fail.  This is very easy to trigger when using abi_x86_32.  Haven't been able to trigger with native ABI, but the possibility exists.

FWIW, this starts to trigger at -j4, but passes sometimes.  -j5 happens more frequently like the build.log shows.

[Comment 19 klz 2022-02-11 14:23:35 UTC]

Can confirm that after changing my MAKEOPTS="-j5" to MAKEOPTS="-j3" i can indeed successfully emerge e2fsprogs[tools] on a system that doesn't already have ext2_err.h at the start of the emerge.

So is this a package issue, or was my MAKEOPTS-setup just plain wrong, or?

Issue in the package (some underdefined/missing dependency within the Makefiles).

The suggested "deselect" fix does not work for me:

Can Portage not just also upgrade the installed packages, which require a deprecated package?

This was the behavior more than a decade ago and it causes imense pain to have this behaviour. It becomes unmanegeable on systems where one only tries to do security updates.

You'll need to upgrade anything depending on the old version of the package. It can't magically rebuild the old ebuilds and sed out the old dependency or something.

Also, I'm not sure it was the default in the past: bug 559354 has been a longstanding request.

In any case, this is better placed in a support forum, but not on a closed bug anyhow.
