Description Stefaan De Roeck (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-20 10:58:07 UTC
tried to build gnome on a fresh ~amd64 system and bumped into this problem. gnome-desktop-2.20.2 builds fine. 

failure starts with
xsltproc -o lgpl-zh_CN.omf --stringparam db2omf.basename lgpl --stringparam db2omf.format 'docbook' --stringparam db2omf.dtd "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN" --stringparam db2omf.lang zh_CN --stringparam db2omf.omf_dir "/usr/share/omf" --stringparam db2omf.help_dir "/usr/share/gnome/help" --stringparam db2omf.omf_in "/var/tmp/portage/gnome-base/gnome-desktop-2.20.3/work/gnome-desktop-2.20.3/desktop-docs/lgpl/lgpl.omf.in"  `/usr/bin/pkg-config --variable db2omf gnome-doc-utils` zh_CN/lgpl.xml || { rm -f "lgpl-zh_CN.omf"; exit 1; }

Interestingly it did compile on the third attempt - not sure what was going on there... (parse errors don't sound like hardware, and this system was rock solid on all other compiles, including kernel, gcc and glibc)

Comment 2 Jory A. Pratt gentoo-dev 2008-02-10 02:00:06 UTC
This is common. The build tries to use internet for certain stages of the build and it is not always able to make the connection. You can usually get it to succeed by emerging it a few times.

What does one do if retrying the emerge continues to fail?  I'm on emerge #7 at time of writing, and it is still failing with parse errors.  unfortunately, this is on a pentium/MMX, and the compiles are expensive, time-wise.
Comment 4 Michael Hammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-18 07:42:09 UTC
I do have the same problems. I had enabled FEATURES="distcc" and MAKOPTS="-j15". After disabling both of them and building serial the emerge was successful but really slow ;) Perhaps we should disable the parallel build?

My suggestion to everyone who has the problem - #MAKOPTS and no distcc ...

Comment 5 Gavin McDonald 2008-03-19 18:08:20 UTC
After another 12 or so failed emerges of this package, I did an
# emerge --sync
# emerge libxslt

then tried again.  it failed.
then I did an 
#emerge --resume

three more times, and the third run completed successfully.

From what I have found here, and in the forums, I posit that the problem is caused by the xslt processor downloading  XML definitions repeatedly, once per file instead of caching them.  Either that, or xsltproc downloads such a wide variety of them during the emerge that it hammers an underpowered server.  Maybe the ebuild maintainer can speak to this with more authority, but if they were to put a tarball of these xml definition files on sourceforge or somewhere like that, for a one-shot download, then get xslt to use the local files instead?  It makes little sense that an emerge should fail because of intermittent website availability. (as it appears to do now...)

A similar problem exists for the w3c, as they document here:

Comment 7 Henrik Grubbström 2008-03-24 21:04:57 UTC
From reading the man page for xsltproc, the easiest way to fix seems to be to have the various ebuilds that use xsltproc specify the argument --novalid unless debug or test is active.
Comment 8 Gavin McDonald 2008-03-24 21:37:41 UTC
or if not --novalid, at least --nonet ?
Comment 9 nick stinemates 2008-05-22 16:39:04 UTC
Any plans to fix this issue? I just ran in to it and banged my head for an hour until someone pointed me here.

x86 system.
Comment 10 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-28 17:04:51 UTC
We're looking at it.  We'll hopefully be able to put a fix in one of the eclasses.  It's kinda hard to get right tho, so it will take some time.
Comment 11 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-19 20:50:48 UTC
Well, this is the last thing currently blocking the upcoming release, so any workaround, even hacks, are acceptable (for releng, only, not necessarily for the tree)...

If anybody has a known-good copy of this DTD, I can host it on our build server and for "www.open-oasis.org" to be "127.0.0.1" and serve the file from there.

I'd hold off of committing to this solution -- It looks like there may be an overall problem with the DTDs, that should be fixed elsewhere, (Like maybe <foo>tex upstream?) Take a look at bugid 192243, comment#14 for example.

I'll post more details in the appropriate place, (when I find one,) but on a sync'd-today portage tree, I've got about 12 packages that fail to update due to jadetex generated DTD errors, and gnome-desktop isn't one of them... (anymore.)

With respect to "the appropriate place," would any seasoned gentoo devs be able to suggest the right place to submit this DTD issue?  From the uninitiate's perspective, it looks like any package with a doc parser will be hit by this - xsltproc, jadetex, etc...

This is what I did by adding the following to src_unpack()

    # Bypass bug 206753 online DTD checks fail
    for I in desktop-docs/lgpl/Makefile.in desktop-docs/gpl/Makefile.in desktop-docs/fdl/Makefile.in gnome-doc-utils.make
    do
        sed -e 's:xsltproc :xsltproc --novalid :' -i ${S}/$I
    done

1- My build of the liveCD now continues
2- It speeds up the build process (a build process that goes on the net!...pew!)
3- I'm only commenting on this bug since it's a blocker for releng with such a simple workaround (!?)...is there something I am not getting? Am-I really breaking something?

Keep up the good work releng, I'm going through your hell ;)

Nice :)

Chris, if it works for you, I suggest you use this hack. We still haven't fully figured out which DTDs are missing, so please use that for 2008.0's portage snapshot.

We just might have the solution (at least without FEATURES="test"). Does installing docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2 fix this?

I believe this should be a (R?)DEPEND for gnome-desktop-2.20.3. There's some more b0rkage with the scrollkeeper DTD, but that only crops up with FEATURES="test".

Hrm, the scrollkeeper DTD is needed, with and without FEATURES="test". This is not an issue on a stable system, though, since the DTD is only missing on 2.22 (with rarian replacing scrollkeeper).

So kyron has tested this, and it fixes the bug. Thanks a bunch to him for spending the time and effort. :)

Gilles can probably provide a more comprehensive update on what is required at this point to close.
Comment 18 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-01 21:02:03 UTC
ok, I've fixed the DEPEND of all gnome-desktop versions since it was absent in all. Concerning the issue about scrollkeeper-dtds that was discovered during analysis of this bug, I'll add release to bug #229123 for a detailled explanation. Interested people can follow there as well.
