Package: xfslibs-dev
Version: 3.2.1
Severity: normal

These links do not appear to have any purpose and should be removed:

/lib/libhandle.a -> /usr/lib/libhandle.a
/lib/libhandle.la -> /usr/lib/libhandle.la
/usr/lib/libhandle.so -> /lib/libhandle.so

Also, policy forbids to thip the .la files at all for normal libraries.

This is an obvious bug and I have not heard back from you in over one year, what are your plans about fixing this? Do you need help?

I can still see them in the current version:

You are right, I was fooled because the extra files disappear if you rebuild the package:

md@bongo:/tmp/xfs/xfsprogs-4.3.0+nmu1$ find debian/|grep libhandle
debian/xfslibs-dev/lib/libhandle.so
debian/xfslibs-dev/usr/lib/libhandle.a
debian/xfslibs-dev/usr/lib/libhandle.la
debian/xfsprogs/lib/libhandle.so.1
debian/xfsprogs/lib/libhandle.so.1.0.3

So I wonder if this was a libtool bug and we just need to request a binnmu of the package.

I can't reproduce this disappearance in a clean up-to-date sid chroot.

AFAICS this is the code responsible for creating /lib/libfoo <-> /usr/lib/libfoo symlinks (see include/buildmacros:79):

if [ "x$(shell readlink -f $(PKG_LIB_DIR))" != \
    "x$(shell readlink -f $(PKG_ROOT_LIB_DIR))" ]; then \

       ../$(INSTALL) -S $(PKG_ROOT_LIB_DIR)/$(LIBNAME).so $(PKG_LIB_DIR)/$(LIBNAME).so; \

fi

I guess the symlinks weren't created on your system only because your /lib is symlinked to /usr/lib.

Right. Nathan, this code path is not used on Red Hat and SuSE, which already implemented a merged /usr, and it has always been wrong on
Debian: I think it should just be removed from the upstream package. Should I NMU?

So this NMU happened, but unfortunately your followup maintainer upload, i.e. 4.5.0 did not include the changes from the NMU.

Nathan, could you make another upload including the fix from Marco?

I've attached the debdiff which still seems to apply against 4.9.0

Seeing that this issue already caused two duplicates being filed, I'd say it's worth fixing for stretch.

(d'oh, these changes needs to be sent upstream to the kernel.org

I'm not sure about Marco, but I don't know the procedures getting a patch into xfsprogs. So I would very much prefer if you forward the patch to the right people.

I'm currently traveling and will be unable to attend to this for some time.

Should Marco or myself do another NMU then? I would send you an updated debdiff in this case.

Done. I've just uploaded xfsprogs_4.9.0+nmu1

I will follow up with the XFS

folks when I can.

debdiff is attached. It slightly differs from Marco's original patch. Instead of disabling the code, I simply removed it. This should be more suitable for upstreaming.

Package: xfslibs-dev
Version: 4.9.0
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I was trying to rebuild qemu, which somehow pulls into xfslibs-dev. To avoid cluttering my system I tried to build qemu inside Docker, with the debian:stretch image. The installation fails with the error below. Before (and after) running apt-get there is no libhandle.a in /lib or /usr/lib.

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/xfslibs-dev_4.9.0_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

On my host system (also running stretch) xfslibs-dev installs fine. I tried to figure out what's different between the two environments, and I found that the Docker image had /lib symlinked to /usr/lib, which my host system had not.

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/xfslibs-dev/filelist shows that the package tries to install both /lib/libhandle.a and /usr/lib/libhandle.a . I speculate that this might confuse dpkg, but I don't know how to test if this is the cause.

I tried running apt-get in strace, and found this fragment that I believe confirms my suspicion. Because /lib -> /usr/lib, /lib/libhandle.a.dpkg-new will be removed by
the rename("/usr/lib/libhandle.a.dpkg-new", "/usr/lib/libhandle.a")

Package: xfslibs-dev
Severity: normal
Tags: stretch, sid
Usertags: usr, usrmerge, multiarch

Hi,

While trying to build a cross-build environment for QEMU I ran into a problem installing xfslibs-dev. The docker build looked like this:

#
# Docker ppc64el cross-compiler target
#
# This docker target builds on the base debian image. #
# Broken in Jessie
FROM debian:stretch-slim

# Duplicate deb line as deb-src
RUN cat /etc/apt/sources.list | sed "s/deb/deb-src/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

  # Add the foreign architecture we want and install dependencies
  RUN dpkg --add-architecture ppc64el
  RUN apt update && apt dist-upgrade -yy
  RUN apt-get build-dep -yy -a ppc64el qemu
  RUN apt install -yy gcc-multilib-ppc64el binutils-multiarch

  # Specify the cross prefix for this image (see tests/docker/common.rc)
  ENV QEMU_CONFIGURE_OPTS --cross-prefix=ppc64el-linux-gnu-

The error message reported by the build-dep stage was:

Unpacking xfslibs-dev:ppc64el (4.9.0) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-u0zpz1/10-xfslibs-dev_4.9.0_ppc64el.deb (--unpack):
unable to install new version of '/lib/libhandle.a': No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-u0zpz1/10-xfslibs-dev_4.9.0_ppc64el.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Testing with debian:unstable-slim produced the same result.

After discussion on #debian-bootstrap we reproduced with a simpler setup:

<helmut> I can reproduce your problem in unstable now. fresh sid
debootstrap amd64; dpkg --add-architecture ppc64el; apt-get update; apt-get install usrmerge; apt-get install xfslibs-dev:ppc64el # reproduces

There seems to be debate as to if this is a straight up multi-arch bug or a user merge bug so I've tagged them as both for now. Certainly static libraries need to be properly placed in the relevant multi-arch paths but this seems to work for arm64 and armhf (which I have also set up QEMU cross build environments for).
