makepkg does not extract sources

Hi folks! I am trying to build bacula from AUR and Makepkg refuses to unpack the bacula.tar.gz. I was able to find what was happening but couldn't understand why.

/usr/bin/makepkg lines 618-631:

                local file_type=$(file -bizL "$file")
                local cmd=''
                case "$file_type" in
                        *application/x-tar*|*application/zip*|*application/x-zip*|*applica$
                                cmd="bsdtar -x -f $file" ;;
                        *application/x-gzip*)
                                cmd="gunzip -d -f $file" ;;
                        *application/x-bzip*)
                                cmd="bunzip2 -f $file" ;;
                        *)
                                # Don't know what to use to extract this file,
                                # skip to the next file
                                continue;;
                esac

For some reason it always falls through to the last case - skip to the next file.

sa@arch ~ $ file -bizL bacula-2.2.8.tar.gz
application/x-tar compressed-encoding=application/x-gzip

sa@arch ~ $ sudo pacman -Q file
file 4.23-1

Any idea what could be wrong and how to fix it?

Re: makepkg does not extract sources

did you md5'd the archive to check if it's not corrupted ?

I didn't, makepkg did. Here's the output:

Re: makepkg does not extract sources

looks like the problem is elsewhere... the package is extracted... seems to be only a directory name problem... check the name of the extracted directory and adjust your PKGBUILD

Re: makepkg does not extract sources

hmmm... i may have posted too fast, my bad... i've check the PKGBUILD from AUR and it's working properly...

[edit]what happens when you untar the archive (out of the makepkg process) ? Is everything correct ? If yes, you can try makepkg -e, it won't untar the archive again...[/edit]

That's the problem, the package IS NOT extracted. Read the initial post.
There seems to be something wrong between "file" and mime types....

Re: makepkg does not extract sources

Hmmm...this piece of code always produces "unknown" on my machine. I just extracted it from makepkg and made standalone.
I wonder if same is true for any tar.gz file. Will test it next...

#!/bin/bash
file="bacula-2.2.8.tar.gz"
file_type=$(file -bizL "$file")
cmd=''
case "$file_type" in
        *application/x-tar*|*application/zip*|*application/x-zip*|*application/x-cpio*)
                cmd="bsdtar -x -f $file" ;;
        *application/x-gzip*)
                cmd="gunzip -d -f $file" ;;
        *application/x-bzip*)
                cmd="bunzip2 -f $file" ;;
        *)
                # Don't know what to use to extract this file,
                # skip to the next file
                #continue;;
                cmd="unknown";
esac
printf "${cmd}\n";

Re: makepkg does not extract sources

Okay, for every single *.tar.gz file I've tested "file -bizL" output is "application/x-tar compressed-encoding=application/x-gzip". And for all of them the script above failed to find a proper command for extracting source...Proly need a little more knowledge in bash to figure it out.

Re: makepkg does not extract sources

really strange...
Could you add a "echo $file_type" in the script maybe just to check?
Are you using a strange locale? Apparently not, but well, I have no idea..

Re: makepkg does not extract sources

"echo $file_type" produces "application/x-tar compressed-encoding=application/x-gzip", locale is "en_US.utf8"
I can extract tar.gz manually and then the build goes on fine. But I'd still like to find out why it fails !?
