When trying to upgrade my version of liberation-fonts to 1.05, I get the following error, repeated over and over again until it completely wipes out the scrollback buffer. (I believe the portage output immediately preceding it is the "Unpacking liberation-fonts-ttf-1.05.zip to /var/tmp/portage/media-fonts/liberation-fonts-1.05/work" line, but since I can't scroll back far enough I can't be sure.) /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 393: echo: write error: Broken pipe I checked that line in ebuild.sh, and line 393 is the line with > in the following excerpt: case "${x##*.}" in ... ZIP|zip|jar) # unzip will interactively prompt under some error conditions, # as reported in bug #336285 > ( while true ; do echo n ; done ) | \ unzip -qo "${srcdir}${x}" || die "$myfail" ;; This was apparently added to fix bug #336285, which also relates to zip file unpacking part of portage. I posted about this error in the comments to that bug, but Zac Medico was unable to reproduce the problem. I've been able to hit this bug again when compiling the dev-utils/weka-3.6.2 package, which also requires portage to use unzip in the unpack process; this lends credence to the idea that the bug relates to portage's handling of zip files. Note also that I'm able to use unzip normally, outside the context of portage. Anyway, here's my emerge --info: Portage 2.2_rc86 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.3, glibc-2.11.2-r0, 2.6.34-gentoo-r6 x86_64)

Do unzip -v and bash --version show the expected versions? Maybe you have a stray unzip binary in /usr/local/bin/ or something like that.
Yep, unzip -v gives 6.00 (which matches the installed unzip-6.0-r1), and bash --version gives 4.0.37(2)-release (which matches the installed bash-4.0_p37). I also ran locate {bash|unzip}|grep bin and came up with the following lists: /usr/share/bash-completion/bind-utils /usr/bin/bashcomp-config /usr/bin/bashbug /usr/lib64/portage/bin/filter-bash-environment.py /bin/rbash /bin/bash /usr/bin/funzip /usr/bin/unzipsfx /usr/bin/hunzip /usr/bin/unzip /usr/bin/unzip-mem /usr/lib64/klibc/bin/gunzip /bin/gunzip /bin/bunzip2 So no stray versions of either of those. One other thing: bash isn't my default shell; instead, I use one called fish. I just checked, though, and starting bash followed by emerge -1 liberation-fonts doesn't change the outcome at all, even though I can still use unzip on my own from within that same bash instance.

Please check if it fails when you run this in an interactive bash shell: ( while true ; do echo n ; done ) | unzip -qo liberation-fonts-ttf-1.05.zip I wonder if your SIGPIPE handler is getting broken somehow. Portage is supposed to install the default SIGPIPE handler for it's subprocesses, since bug 309001, but maybe that's not working correctly on your system for some reason.
Running that command outside the context of portage will silently unzip the package into the current directory...what's this about a SIGPIPE handler, and how can I test it?
Created attachment 248715 [details] python script showing change of SIGPIPE handler You can run this script to see if python responds properly to changes in the SIGPIPE signal handler. The output should look like this if it's working properly: $ ./sigpipe-test.py 1 0 The 0 corresponds to the signal.SIG_DFL handler. If you have portage installed with USE=python3 then you should use python3 to execute the test script. The code in portage that's supposed to make subprocesses respond correctly to SIGPIPE is shown in this patch: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=d80db256ec34b8aac65eda89f2ff2baea5996d5f
I ran your sigpipe test file, but got the same output as I was supposed to (that is, 1 on the first line and 0 on the next line); I'm really not sure what's wrong here. Oh, and I did manage to hit ctrl+c to see what happens before the long string of error messages, and it is the ">>> Unpacking liberation-fonts-ttf-1.05.zip to /var/tmp/portage/media-fonts/liberation-fonts-1.05/work" line, if there was any doubt.
Created attachment 248729 [details, diff] python script that changes SIGPIPE handler and execute unzip in a shell This script does essentially the same thing that portage does to unpack a zip file. It works for me. If I comment out the SIGPIPE line and run it, then I get a "write error: Broken pipe" loop like the one that you've reported.
I have no idea what's doing it, then; that script works fine, unpacking the zip file into the working directory. But I still can't unpack the file using portage; as a test, I upgraded to portage-2.2_rc87 and then simply ran "sudo ebuild /usr/portage/media-fonts/liberation-fonts/liberation-fonts-1.05.ebuild unpack", but same effect: that error message repeating over and over again.
Created attachment 248731 [details] python script that uses portage api to execute unzip in a shell This is similar to the previous script, but uses the portage api. It works for me.
(In reply to comment #9) > Created an attachment (id=248731) [details] > python script that uses portage api to execute unzip in a shell > > This is similar to the previous script, but uses the portage api. It works for > me. Note that it's expected to get the "write error: Broken pipe" loop if you don't have a version or portage installed that has the following patch: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=d80db256ec34b8aac65eda89f2ff2baea5996d5f
OK, here's something interesting: the new script still works fine, just like the previous ones, but on a whim I ran it with sudo, and was able to trigger the bug. Running the sigpipe-excve-test.py version with sudo also triggers the bug. In both cases, I get infinite lines reading: /bin/bash: line 0: echo: write error: Broken pipe Running the scripts as my regular user doesn't trigger this. Since I never run emerge as my regular user, this is presumably part of the problem. As for having that patched version of portage, I just upgraded to 2.2_rc87; does that have the patch?
(In reply to comment #11) > As for having that patched version of portage, I just upgraded to 2.2_rc87; > does that have the patch? Yes, it does. We should be checking for duplicate portage modules on your system. Do these two paths resolve the same on your system? readlink -f /usr/lib/portage/pym readlink -f /usr/lib64/portage/pym What are the outputs of these commands? python -c 'import portage ; print portage.__file__' sudo python -c 'import portage ; print portage.__file__'
Everything there seems to be working normally; those two readlink commands give the same result, as do the two python -c commands (in particular, they both give "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/__init__.pyc").
Let's try removing all of your compiled python bytecodes for portage and see if that helps (they will regenerate anyway). find /usr/lib/portage -name '*.py[co]' | xargs rm -f
Before I start removing portage things, how exactly will they regenerate?
Python generates them automatically when you run portage. You can also 'emerge portage' to regenerate them all.
No change when I wipe out the the bytecode...however, on another whim, I tried running the script with sudo -s rather than using sudo directly; this time it worked. In fact, when using a sudo -s shell environment rather than sudo itself, I was able to emerge liberation-fonts without trouble. I've actually been having some weird bugs with sudo lately, so it seems this may be an extension of that. Should I describe them in more detail here or create a new bug report?
You can go ahead and describe your sudo issues here. I'm adding base-system to CC in case they have any ideas about why sudo would a affect SIGPIPE handling in subprocesses, and why sudo -s would make the issue disappear.
Basically, the same general problem as described in bug #330995: when I run sudo to perform a specific command, it says "HXproc_run_async: pmvarrun: No such file or directory" before executing the command, and (on first run, when I had to enter my password) does "Segmentation fault" afterwards. Oddly enough, while this is the behavior with bash, there is slightly different behavior with my default shell, fish: I still get "HXproc_run_async: pmvarrun: No such file or directory" beforehand and "fish: Job 1, “sudo echo test” terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)" afterwards, but it never remembers my password, so the first-run behavior (i.e., ending with the segfault) happens every time. Since the pmvarrun binary comes from the pam_mount package, that may be involved as well, but I haven't had any problem with my pam_mount-mounted home directory.

I hit the same issue when building mythtv on my ~amd64 thinkpad. "sudo -s ebuild ... merge" unpacks that zip OK, yes. Please advise if I can test something ... thanks.

And I don't know if it is sudo-related as I get it when running emerge as root, as well as when I try to "ebuild xy merge" that ebuild. Using sudo as a normal user doesn't help so far (as it did with another ebuild back then).

(In reply to comment #32) > What can I do? Anything I can test/query/post ...? Thanks, Stefan You can run each of those 3 scripts that I attached and post the output for each one.

First one gives: 1 0 Second and third both return this looping: "/bin/bash: Zeile 0: echo: Schreibfehler: Datenübergabe unterbrochen (broken pipe)." helpful?
(In reply to comment #34) Addition: previous runs were as root, as regular user I get 1 0 as well, but unzip: cannot find or open liberation-fonts-ttf-1.05.zip, liberation-fonts-ttf-1.05.zip.zip or liberation-fonts-ttf-1.05.zip.ZIP. for second and third script.
(In reply to comment #34) > helpful? Your root shell seems to have the same problematic behavior that others have reported when running commands via sudo. Did you enter that root shell via sudo? (In reply to comment #35) Apparently the problem doesn't affect your normal user's shell.

I usually open gnome-terminal as regular user, then "su" to get root-access, yes. Opening "root terminal" from the gnome-menu also leads to that "broken pipe". But I was able to "emerge argparse" from another tty after logging in as root, thanks.
I've got the same bug. When using sudo I get broken pipe. Tests: sigpipe-test.py 1 0 sigpipe-excve-test.py /bin/bash: line 0: echo: write error: Broken pipe sigpipe-portage-test.py bash: line 0: echo: write error: Broken pipe When doing sudo su - or loggin in as root into tty everything is ok.
(In reply to comment #38) > When doing sudo su - or loggin in as root into tty everything is ok. Maybe the sudo -i option helps?
I just encountered this when emerging (perhaps ironically) app-arch/zip-3.0-r1. It was during an unattended world update and the looped output swamped my HDD. I've run all the attached scripts (with /usr/portage/distfiles/zip30.zip) - the first one gives the expected output (1,0) and both others cause the loop, as does issuing this from bash: ( while true ; do echo n ; done ) | unzip -qo /usr/portage/distfiles/zip30.zip Versions: app-shells/bash-4.1_p9 app-arch/unzip-6.0-r2 sys-apps/portage-2.1.9.26 emerge --info: ortage 2.1.9.26

PS - I don't use sudo either, I'm running portage (and the above scripts) in a shell (via yakuake) with su -.
Created attachment 258380 [details, diff] handle echo failure Here's a workaround: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=9258c1d3ec0f133e2eb448112d5d751a811d6800
why do you need the while loop ? doesnt `yes n` work exactly the same ?
Sure, but unlike `yes n`, the while loop is pure bash which is more portable in theory. For example, I don't see `yes` documented here: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xcuix.html
This is fixed in 2.1.9.27.
For us, poor souls that are using stable and thus has to wait until the fixed version gets stabilized, there is a workaround: Making 'su -' twice turns to correct behaviour: $ su - Password: # su - # emerge ... (For the record, I was doing it over ssh in a screen session that was running on the remote machine.)
