strange problems with makepkg and pacman [solved]

Romashka · 2006-08-29 14:59:52

Hi!

I'm trying to compile motor and get very strange errors.

PKGBUILD:

# Contributor: Roman Kyrylych <Roman>

pkgname=motor
pkgver=3.4.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A text mode based programming environment for Linux"
url="http://thekonst.net/en/motor"
license="GPL"
depends=('gcc' 'ncurses')
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://thekonst.net/download/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('0fcf7ce0386b269e8bdbb7a86e9bee19')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  sed -i -e "s@-C $(datadir)@-C $startdir/pkg$(datadir)@g" $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/share/Makefile.*
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

makepkg -c:

. . .
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/abs/local/motor/src/motor-3.4.0'

Then I run gensync to update my repo, then pacman -Sy motor:

 romashka                 [/mnt/storage1/packages/] 100%    LOCAL

Targets: motor-3.4.0-1

Total Package Size:   0.4 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]

checking package integrity...
error: archive motor-3.4.0-1.pkg.tar.gz is corrupted

pacman -A /mnt/storage1/packages/motor-3.4.0-1.pkg.tar.gz:

loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts... done.
installing motor... done.

Question #1: why pacman -A works but pacman -Sy don't???
My repo update script works flawless with other packages.

namcap /mnt/storage1/packages/motor-3.4.0.pkg.tar.gz:

motor      E: File (usr/share/motor/templates/library/) has rk/users permissions.

motor      E: File (usr/share/motor/templates/terminal program/perl/Folders) has rk/users permissions.

Question #2: why these files has permissions of ordinary user ('rk') when I was compiling from root??? I was logged as 'rk' by secure shell.

I could post the entire package but it is 0.4MB.

Can some gurus here explain why these strange things happen?

EDIT: corrected copy-paste mistake in PKGBUILD.

Anyone has any ideas?

You probably built it/installed it previously and it is stored in your cache (look at /var/cache/pacman/pkg/).
You can remove the old package by hand or remove all the packages with pacman -Scc.

In the future, to avoid this. Change the pkgrel variable when you build a package.

Yes. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll remember this. But this is not the source of the problem in my case.

In my case this does not help. Nothing in output changed at all. And anyway this cache issue is not related to question #2.

This is not a good solution when you make few compile tries before releasing pkgrel 1 to AUR. But I'll try to avoid this - will delete the package from cache each time before the next compile try.

I am pretty sure it was. pacman -A doesn't look at the packages repository information (.db.tar.gz) which contains the md5sum of the packages, whereas pacman -S does.

For the pkgrel. I agree, change it only if you have already made the previous pkgrel public

Yes, but I mean that the problem was not related to installing old package version from cache instead of new from local repo.

I solved the first problem by first deleting and then regenerating my local repo .db.tar.gz. Then 'pacman -Sy motor' does not complain about corrupted archive.
The summary - gensync does not update package info for packages which have the same pkgver&pkgrel. Now I'll remember this. 8)

But the second question is still valid.
EDIT: Note that namcap complains about user permissions only for /usr/share/motor/templates/* which is the only one directory that is written in wrong place by make, that's why I used sed to change Makefile.*.
The most interesting thing here is why these files have permissions of user rk (logged via secure shell) and not root (logged using 'su -' and then started makepkg)?

Romashka · 2006-09-01 16:14:02

And yet another thing - makepkg with fakeroot installed does not work for me (at least when logged via secure shell):

[rk@server motor]$ makepkg -f

make sure your user has permission to write in the folder where you are running makepkg.

Thanks, Snowman. :oops: How could I do such stupid mistake? :oops:
Any ideas on question #2 from first post?

Romashka · 2006-09-04 10:09:38

I still cannot understand why the situation from Q#2 happened, but anyway motor is already in AUR (how did I not noticed it?).
