makepkg not extracting a zip file

Gustavo · 2008-01-02 18:56:15

Hello,

Today I had a problem extracting the contents of a zip file with makepkg. I was using the following PKGBUILD:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/eclip … p/PKGBUILD

The output:

[doit@fenix eclipse-wtp]$ unset cmd
[doit@fenix eclipse-wtp]$ makepkg
==> Entering fakeroot environment
==> Making package: eclipse-wtp 2.0.1-1 (Wed Jan 2 16:31:22 BRST 2008)

==> Compressing package...
==> Finished making: eclipse-wtp (Wed Jan 2 16:31:27 BRST 2008)
[doit@fenix eclipse-wtp]$

Apparently the package was build correctly, but it was empty because the makepkg script didn't extract the zip file that contained the sources (as seen by the cp error).

file -biz $file gave me this:

[doit@fenix eclipse-wtp]$ file -biz wtp-sdk-R-2.0.1-20070926042742.zip
application/x-empty compressed-encoding=application/zip
[doit@fenix eclipse-wtp]$

/usr/bin/makepkg:

        case "$file_type" in
            *application/x-tar*application/x-compress*)
                cmd="tar -xzf $file" ;;
            *application/x-tar*)
                cmd="tar -xf $file" ;;
            *application/x-zip*)
                unziphack=1
                cmd="unzip -qqo $file" ;;
            *application/x-cpio*)
                cmd="bsdtar -x -f $file" ;;
            *application/x-gzip*)
                cmd="gunzip -d -f $file" ;;
            *application/x-bzip*)
                cmd="bunzip2 -f $file" ;;
        esac

In order to make this script extract the contents of the zip file I had to change to change one line:

(...)

        *application/zip*)
                unziphack=1
                cmd="unzip -qqo $file" ;;

(...)

Was this zip file badly compressed?

Thanks and sorry for the poor english,

Gustavo

That is a little weird. It looks like application/x-empty is the primary mime type there...

Weird. I'd suggest filing a bug report in the Pacman section. We should be able to address this some how.

Thanks for the reply, I'll post a bug report.

I have the same problem and even thought my filesystem might be corrupt (I had some crashes last night because of failing X servers *g*)... "Fortunately" this seems to be a software bug...

Btw. the package I tried to build was DMD

PS: with the fix provided here, the package builds properly.

Bug filed here. I confirm that removing "x-" from "*application/x-zip*)" in /usr/bin/makepkg solves the problem for darkplaces also.

Bah, bugzillas suck - that's my excuse for poor searching. The *default* search should include fixes which are in git but haven't been released yet

The problem is that the task was closed, only open tasks appear by default.
Also there are several sections : archlinux, pacman, aur, community.
pacman / makepkg should be in the pacman section, but they often get reported in the arch section.
So just select "All Projects" at the top left.
The two keywords are "makepkg zip" here. So by doing this, we find your bug 9111.

And now, for looking at the closed tasks too, just select the Advanced search, then Status : All Statuses
You can order the bugs by id, to have the most recent first. And now you can find that 9105 bug report.

When I don't get enough results, I find the options "Search in comments" and "Search details" helpful also.

"ERROR: There is no agent set up to handle http URLs. Check /etc/makepkg.conf."

Pretty obvious; merge or simply overwrite /etc/makepkg.conf with /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew.
