Serious Perl problems after update

Benedict_White · 2007-09-03 10:58:57

Hi.

I ran an update on Thursday on a server and it caused some very major problems.

Firstly my /etc/services seemed to disappear stopping postfix working, though once I realised I restored that from a back up.

Then I found Amavisd-new was dying because a perl module, Net::Server was malfunctioning. I tried updating all installed modules but many would not compile reporting numerous errors.

In the end I back reved the update (except clamav), renamed my perl directory, and back reved that too and installed all the perl modules I needed to make everything work.

here are the relevant sections of my pacman log for the actual update that broke everything:

[2007-08-30 15:54] IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ENCRYPTION USERS
[2007-08-30 15:54]
[2007-08-30 15:54] The "password" column in /etc/crypttab has now
[2007-08-30 15:54] two special keywords:
[2007-08-30 15:54] - ASK  ask for a passphrase on boot
[2007-08-30 15:54] - SWAP use a random key and create swapspace
[2007-08-30 15:54] This is particularly dangerous, as the
[2007-08-30 15:54] volume in question will be overwritten
[2007-08-30 15:54] If you use SWAP as your passphrase (which
[2007-08-30 15:54] is insecure anyway), be sure to remove it
[2007-08-30 15:54] from /etc/crypttab to avoid dataloss!

I then bashed around a bit, trying to figure out what was going on and exentually decided to back rev all the packages. (I can provide the log for this also if it helps)

Something very bad appears to have happened to perl which is a bit of a shame as I use it a lot.

STiAT · 2007-09-03 11:45:20

I'll check what could have happened. My only computer running standard perl and not perlcpan of xterminus is at home.

Thanks for the report.

Yours,
Georg

I think you were hit by this bug and its related ones:

Benedict_White · 2007-09-03 11:58:33

Re Stiat, many thanks.
Re JGC, it id difficult to tell. I can look for the "strict.pm" in the original perl directory tree I moved and report back if it helps..

Actually I have and it is in both places where it should be.

Hi

Seems I have been hit by same/similar bug.

Did a full system upgrade on a host that hasn't been upgraded for quite a while.

/etc/services disappeared and Net::Server is now hosed.

I have tried removing all perl (both arch and cpan) and reinstalled (first arch then cpan), but Net::Server now fails tests when installing from cpan.

If I do a forced install in cpan Net::Server fails when amavisd-new (currently using 2.4.5, but it's the same thing with 2.5.3) tries to run:

Net::Server: 2008/01/15-05:06:32 Amavis (type Net::Server::PreForkSimple) starting! pid(22334)
Net::Server: Binding to UNIX socket file /var/amavis/amavisd.sock using SOCK_STREAM
(!)Net::Server: 2008/01/15-05:06:32 Can't connect to TCP port 10024 on 127.0.0.1 [No such file or directory]\n at line 88 in file /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Net/Server/Proto/TCP.pm
Net::Server: 2008/01/15-05:06:32 Server closing!

Halp!

Check out this for instructions on how to build the modules for the updated perl package

http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev … 03977.html

hrr · 2008-01-15 12:38:05

Hi kishd

I'm not sure I quite understand the suggestions in your link (mail from dev list), but I'll try harder if I find no other solution.

One thing though, i'm using the Perl from core (5.8.8-9) not the 5.10.0-1 from testing, so is it actually relevant for me?

Anyway, thx your help it's appreciated!

print · 2008-01-15 14:02:10

I get "premature end of script headers" error with collection.cgi from collectd after upgrade. Any ideas? I didn't change this script at all, just upgraded Perl.

kishd · 2008-01-16 05:10:44

print, I have not used collectd. It may be that some of the modules that collectd depends on need to be re-built. Sql-ledger gave me the same error with the newer perl. I had to rebuild perl-dbd and perl-dbi to get it working.
