I'm trying to test the new 17.1 profile in a chroot environment. When emerging glibc, the emerge didn't return, just hang after following output: --- replaced dir /etc/env.d --- replaced dir /etc >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> Original instance of package unmerged safely. Checking the emerge process, I can see telinit is running: $ pstree -p -a 25123 emerge,25123 -b /usr/lib/python-exec/python2.7/emerge -va -1 sys-libs/glibc └─ebuild.sh,25321 /usr/lib/portage/python2.7/ebuild.sh postinst └─ebuild.sh,25333 /usr/lib/portage/python2.7/ebuild.sh postinst └─telinit,25337 U And the telinit is using a lot of cpu resource, seems a dead loop: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 25337 root 20 0 16 16 0 R 99.7 0.0 21:58.49 telinit Then I checked the ebuild file, found telinit call in pkg_postinst() function. But this function and telinit call only exist in 2.26 ebuilds. There is no such function in 2.25 and earlier ebuilds. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: I only tried to re-emerge the glibc package, it hangs at the same place very time. I haven't try go over the steps all again. 1.chroot to a gentoo environment 2.following profile 17.1 guide to the step emerge glibc 3.emerge glibc 2.26 Actual Results: emerge doesn't successfully complete but hang at telinit. Expected Results: glibc should emerge just fine even in a chroot environment. Also I think the call telinit should be avoided in chroot environment. # emerge --info Portage 2.3.19 (python 2.7.14-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop, gcc-7.2.0, glibc-2.26-r3,

After some debugging I found that the problem is systemd related. The /sbin/telinit command is a symbol link to systemctl when systemd installed. When systemctl is run as telinit, if it doesn't find a running systemd, in this case a chroot environment, it just assume there is another init system is running and call telinit for that init system with execv. But this execv actually calls itself again and trigger a dead loop. Here is the related source code from systemctl.c : } else if (strstr(program_invocation_short_name, "init")) { if (sd_booted() > 0) { arg_action = _ACTION_INVALID; return telinit_parse_argv(argc, argv); } else { /* Hmm, so some other init system is * running, we need to forward this * request to it. For now we simply * guess that it is Upstart. */ execv(TELINIT, argv); log_error("Couldn't find an alternative telinit implementation to spawn."); return -EIO; } So the call to telinit should be avoided if in a chroot environment.
I don't seem to be able to reproduce this. What version of systemd is installed in the chroot? Can you show me what ls -l /sbin/*init looks like?
I can reproduce this with systemd-236. I cannot reproduce with systemd-233. I think the meson build system defines the TELINIT macro differently from how autotools did it.
My systemd version is 236-r2. # ls -l /sbin/*init lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Dec 30 22:55 /sbin/init -> ../lib/systemd/systemd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Dec 30 22:55 /sbin/telinit -> ../bin/systemctl
