devtools update causes problems with sudo when used in a script?

WorMzy · 2012-10-19 23:16:00

I'm a little confused by this one, but I'm not convinced that it's a bug.. yet.

Long story short, I compile packages using the ABS via a script/wrapper which uses devtools. The script is available here: https://github.com/WorMzy/compilepackage

Now, this script is far from perfect, but has worked perfectly well (in various states of completeness) for the past year or so. However, with the recent update of devtools (20120720-1 => 20121013-1), my script fails to execute correctly. After entering the password when prompted (by sudo, at this line: https://github.com/WorMzy/compilepackag … tions#L107), the script terminates unexpectedly.

Downgrading devtools "fixes" this problem, but I'm not sure if this is a bug in devtools, sudo, zsh, my script, or something else.

Here is the full output from the compilation of "arch-install-scripts":

That "%" is inverted, just like what you get when you run

echo -n "text"

in zsh. Incidentally, here is my .zshrc: https://github.com/WorMzy/Config-files/ … ter/.zshrc, however, the problem persists with a new user with an unconfigured zsh.

Here is my sudoers too:

##
## This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
## Failure to use 'visudo' may result in syntax or file permission errors
## that prevent sudo from running.

Update: It appears that the cause is systemd's nspawn. Disabling it in mkarchroot (have_nspawn=0) resolves the problem.

However, I don't understand why it's causing this behaviour. User input works fine for the sudo password prompt, but then fails for the pacman user prompt? Do they use different input buffers or something? Does that question even make sense?

Anyway, I'll open a bug report on flyspray and upstream about this when I get the chance.

Hello, I am having a very similar issue, see in the following link, for further information: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=159518

Can you be more specific about to disable systemd's nspawn in mkarchroot? I mean, in which line of the file must I add have_nspawn=0?

Did you open a bug report? What is the link?

Thanks in advance
