Bug 106056 – revdep-rebuild COMPLETE_LD_LIBRARY_PATH exceeds MAX_ARG_PAGES limit

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 38751
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description moth 2005-09-15 05:48:37 UTC]

When I run revdep-rebuild, I get numerous "Argument list too long" errors. 
Looking closer, this happens even for arguments with empty command lines. 
Looking closer, COMPLETE_LD_LIBRARY_PATH is 138416 bytes long.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
revdep-rebuild
Actual Results:  
Checking reverse dependencies...
Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by any package update,
will be recompiled.

Collecting system binaries and libraries... using existing /root/.revdep-rebuild
.1_files.

Collecting complete LD_LIBRARY_PATH... using existing /root/.revdep-rebuild.2_ld
path.

Checking dynamic linking consistency... using existing /root/.revdep-rebuild.3_r
ebuild.

Assigning files to ebuilds... using existing /root/.revdep-rebuild.4_ebuilds.

/usr/bin/revdep-rebuild: line 261: /usr/bin/cat: Argument list too long
/usr/bin/revdep-rebuild: line 261: /usr/bin/tr: Argument list too long

Evaluating package order... using existing /root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order.

/usr/bin/revdep-rebuild: line 293: /usr/bin/sed: Argument list too long
/usr/bin/revdep-rebuild: line 293: /usr/bin/tr: Argument list too long

Dynamic linking on your system is consistent... All done.

Expected Results:  
rebuilt my broken dependencies

1. Which version of gentoolkit do you have installed? 
2. Please attach the .revdep-rebuild.* files

[Comment 2 moth 2005-09-15 22:16:01 UTC]

Created attachment 68559 [details]
tar jcf rdrb.tj .revdep-rebuild.*

These are the .revdep-rebuild.* files requested by fuzzyray

[Comment 3 moth 2005-09-15 22:16:36 UTC]

I'm using gentoolkit 0.2.0_pre10

[Comment 4 moth 2006-04-04 06:26:04 UTC]

This bug arose because I had a lot of software in various stages under /tmp/.

For now, I've gotten rid of the partition that contained that software.

However, I think that this problem indicates a design flaw in revdep-rebuild.

(trying to replace incorrect comment #4, let's see if this works.)
