Description Mircea Sava 2017-02-21 18:34:36 UTC
Recent system cleanup removed dev-libs/cryptlib and subsequent rebuilding of media-gfx/graphviz failed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -c
2. emerge @preserved-rebuild
3.
Actual Results:  
ERROR: media-gfx/graphviz-2.38.0-r1::gentoo failed (compile phase)

package ebuild should contain dev-libs/cryptlib in either CDEPEND or DEPEND variables.

Comment 4 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2017-02-22 07:32:47 UTC
Your dev-lang/perl or another Perl-related package is broken. Rebuild them.
Comment 5 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2017-02-22 07:35:23 UTC
Above guess based on build log from bug #610386, which has e.g.:

checking for Perl LDFLAGS... -Wl,-E -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed  -L/usr/lib64/perl5/5.22.3/x86_64-linux/CORE -lperl -lcl -lpthread -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc
Comment 6 Mircea Sava 2017-02-22 19:36:47 UTC
After rebuilding dev-lang/perl and running perl-cleaner the issue persists. By switching the perl flag off however, rebuilding of the affected package(s) succeeds.
Comment 7 Mircea Sava 2017-02-22 19:40:48 UTC
So, my suggestion should be contingent on the perl USE flag being set on.
Comment 8 Mircea Sava 2017-02-22 19:47:10 UTC
/usr/lib64/graphviz/perl/libgv_perl.so (media-gfx/graphviz-2.38.0-r1) needs /usr/lib64/libcl.so.3.4.0 (dev-libs/cryptlib-3.4.0-r1)
Comment 9 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2017-03-01 07:06:17 UTC
Show output of:
perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts

(This command is used by build systems of both media-gfx/graphviz and net-analyzer/net-snmp.)
Comment 10 Mircea Sava 2017-03-01 12:32:01 UTC
Warning (mostly harmless): No library found for -lcl
-Wl,-E -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed  -L/usr/lib64/perl5/5.22.3/x86_64-linux/CORE -lperl -lpthread -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc
Comment 11 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2017-03-01 18:36:36 UTC
Have you manually deleted /usr/lib64/libcl.so* ?


Anyway it is something for maintainers of dev-lang/perl to handle.
Nothing to change in media-gfx/graphviz or net-analyzer/net-snmp.

Its worth noting, that if you fix this problem, due to how Perl works, you have to fix the problem by recompiling Perl first.

So:

1. Remove offending library
2. Recompile Perl 
3. Recompile graphviz

This is because the state of -l flags is recorded at stage #2 and reused at stage #3

> Have you manually deleted /usr/lib64/libcl.so* ?

As pointed out in the bug's description /usr/lib64/libcl.so* was deleted when dev-libs/cryptlib was removed during system cleanup, which was the point I made -- if /usr/lib64/libcl.so* was needed by the two packages then maybe dev-libs/cryptlib should be put in the ebuilds.
Comment 15 Alon Bar-Lev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-08-31 20:19:03 UTC
I do not see in sources that media-gfx/graphviz nor net-analyzer/net-snmp try to link against cryptlib.

You won't.

During the build process, the perl extensions of those use ExtUtils:: stuff to build.

Those extensions generically build all perl extensions using flags stored in Perl's Config.pm

*Those* flags are defined by perl itself during compile.


In a sense, these are like flags added at install time from pkgconfig entries. Just instead of pkgconfig, the flag source is a Perl file.

You can see what the flags would be on an affected system by:

/usr/bin/perl -V:ldflags -V:libs

The only way to avoid those flags being passed to your packages build chain is:

1. being aware of the threat and hacking around lots of dark perl magic to stop it happening
2. rebuilding perl such that it doesn't have those flags, and the perl -V incantation above ceases to emit them, and _then_ rebuilding an affected package.

Ideally, we'd want perl itself not to have the excess linking that causes this problem in the first place, we just haven't figured out how yet.
