The app-arch/rpm-4.4.6-r2 does not appear to package the magic* files in /usr/lib/rpm, required by rpmbuild when building packages. The missing files are: /usr/lib/rpm/magic /usr/lib/rpm/magic.mgc /usr/lib/rpm/magic.mime /usr/lib/rpm/magic.mime.mgc Apparently, due to a libmagic (sys-apps/file) bug, some attributes of an internal structure, struct magic_set, are left uninitialized, producing a segfault. [There is a workaround for the file/libmagic segfault at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-April/017052.html, but it's not a legitimate fix for the bug - it only avoids the segfault and prints a nonsensical error] The obligatory emerge --info: Portage 2.1.1-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-gentoo-r8-pig1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r8-pig1 x86_64 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.5 Last Sync: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 15:20:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: 0.4.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -mtune=nocona -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -mtune=nocona -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/store/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig confcache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://192.168.0.7/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ipv6.linux.ee/pub/gentoo/distfiles/ ftp://ftp.linux.ee/pub/gentoo/distfiles/" LANG="en_US" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 acl async berkdb bitmap-fonts cli cracklib crypt cups dlloader dri elibc_glibc fortran gdbm gpm input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog kernel_linux libg++ logrotate ncurses nptl nptlonly pam pcre png ppds pppd python quotas readline reflection sasl session spl ssl truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode userland_GNU video_cards_apm video_cards_ark video_cards_ati video_cards_chips video_cards_cirrus video_cards_cyrix video_cards_dummy video_cards_fbdev video_cards_glint video_cards_i128 video_cards_i810 video_cards_mga video_cards_neomagic video_cards_nv video_cards_rendition video_cards_s3 video_cards_s3virge video_cards_savage video_cards_siliconmotion video_cards_sis video_cards_sisusb video_cards_tdfx video_cards_tga video_cards_trident video_cards_tseng video_cards_v4l video_cards_vesa video_cards_vga video_cards_via video_cards_vmware video_cards_voodoo xml xorg zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
CCing the herd of sys-apps/file. If it's a sys-apps/file bug they should be aware of it :-)
(In reply to comment #1) Actually, the sys-apps/file bug should be separate one. But as there is no real fix currently available anywhere, I did not bother to report it separately. The libmagic bug is only visible due to a bug in the app-arch/rpm ebuild.
we'll handle the rpm issue here we purposefully punt the file stuff from rpm ... it should be provided by the file package, not by rpm

Please unmask =app-arch/rpm-4.4.7-r2 and test it on your system.
app-arch/rpm-4.4.7-r2's rpmbuild segfaults from a double free in the code, before it even does anything. I can give you more details, but I have -O3 in my CFLAGS on an i686. This is still a bug in 4.4.6-r?. app-arch/rpm-4.4.7-r2 USE="berkdb java nls perl python -doc -lua -minimal -sqlite -threads" app-arch/rpm-4.4.6-r3 USE="nls perl python -doc -sqlite -berkdb -java -lua -minimal -threads"
unrelated to this issue; file a new bug
Could we please fix app-arch/rpm-4.4.6-r3 so that it generates the magic.mgc file, even manually? I don't care if it's added to the ebuild or patched against the Makefile.in, but *something* needs to be done for version 4.4.6, since 4.4.7 is unstable. I can generate either a patch against the Makefile.in/Makefile.am or create a new ebuild if you want, whichever seems a better solution to you, but something needs to be done for 4.4.6.

I'm testing a new ebuild which symlink magic* files from installed file package into rpm var/lib dir and solve other issues. I hope that will fix this bug. > I can generate either a patch against the Makefile.in/Makefile.am or create a > new ebuild if you want, whichever seems a better solution to you, but something > needs to be done for 4.4.6. Feel free to submit a patch,an ebuild, whatever, rpm is quite difficult to maintain and I don't refuse any qualifyed help. I'm in contact with upstream and I'm trying to have rpm working. If you can fix bugs, you're welcome.
Please test new ebuilds: rpm-4.4.6-r4, rpm-4.4.7-r2 and if non of them works, unmask rpm-4.4.7-r3 and test that also. Thanks for your patience, I've been very busy this month.

I tried those: * app-arch/rpm-4.4.7-r2 is still missing the magic.* files, and segfaults before it even gets that far. * app-arch/rpm-4.4.6-r4 works so far!
rpm-5.0_alpha4 now in the tree
I compiled with: FEATURES=keepwork emerge -av rpm After the emerge, I copied the pm.magic file to /usr/lib/rpm/magic cp /var/tmp/portage/app-arch/rpm-4.4.6-r3/work/rpm-4.4.6/rpm.magic /usr/lib/rpm/magic Now, I can compile my packages
Olivier DOLE is right http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207722#c3 The solution in the ebuild for "app-arch/rpm-4.4.6-r6" would be to replace in src_install() function: dosym /usr/share/misc/file/${magic_file} /usr/lib/rpm/${magic_file} by dosym /usr/share/misc/${magic_file} /usr/lib/rpm/${magic_file} Please Correct the ebuild file.
