[SOLVED]How to Upgrade aur packages to use new C++ ABI?

zerophase · 2015-12-10 08:22:19

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling a couple of aur packages, so they'd use the new ABI. But, even after a complete removal and reinstall, the script for finding packages using the old ABI still lists them.

#!/bin/bash

while read pkg; do
    mapfile -t files < <(pacman -Qlq $pkg | grep -v /$)
    grep -Fq libstdc++.so.6 "${files[@]}" 2>/dev/null && echo $pkg
done < <(pacman -Qmq)

Do I just have to wait for package maintainers to update the related files?

Reinstalling as in you rebuilt them from source code or you reinstalled the same package or are those bin packages? If any of the latter two this isn't a surprise

See Allan's post

The script will always list them... the libstdc++.so.6 library has a dual ABI.

Alright, so if they're rebuilt they'll use the new ABI, but still show up?

I reinstalled using the same package. Do I need to download them from the aur, and just manually build each package? Is there an option I need to append make with to use the new ABI?

Allan · 2015-12-10 09:22:42

The new ABI is the default. You will need to rebuild the package to use it.

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but to reinstall those packages from AUR is the same thing as to rebuild them?

WorMzy · 2015-12-10 15:16:13

Rebuilding them means running makepkg and making a new package.

"Reinstalling" is ambiguous, as you could just be reinstalling an old build with pacman -U.

doblerone · 2015-12-10 15:25:26

Thanks for the reply.
I "reinstalled" them using yaourt -S package, which use the AUR repository. According to the wiki, "AUR contains package descriptions (PKGBUILDs) that allow you to compile a package from source with makepkg and then installs them via pacman".

V1del · 2015-12-10 15:37:32

Which rebuilds them usually, but depending on how you configured it it might just install a previously built package again, however the difference should be rather apparent. (Simply spoken: Did you see a shitton of text before it asked to install the finished package? that likely means you rebuilt it as well)

WorMzy · 2015-12-10 15:46:43

If you don't know the difference between building a package and installing one, you shouldn't be using helpers like yaourt which blur the lines between the two..

sl1pkn07 · 2015-12-10 15:52:02

and the AUR binary (buildless) packages? like a jdk, wps, etc?

ugjka · 2015-12-10 16:08:02

Can anyone confirm that google-chrome still works after this?

WorMzy · 2015-12-10 16:50:53

After what?

The old ABI is still there, any precompiled packages using the old ABI will continue to use that.

pekka · 2015-12-10 17:10:19

This is very hard to normal user.

So, i cant rebuid aur package use new ABI, if package uses precompiled packages.
only original precompiled package maintainer can do.

If i remove aur packages and reinstall and packages still uses old ABI , can do nothing.

Right. Any of those that also link to libraries with the new ABI will be a problem.

hamelg · 2015-12-10 18:06:22

Here, the script doesn't work. It processes 2 packages, then exits ?!

$ pacman -Qmq|wc -l
69
$ bash -x a.sh
+a.sh:3:main: read pkg
++a.sh:7:main: pacman -Qmq
+a.sh:4:main: echo == adbextractor ==
== adbextractor ==
+a.sh:5:main: mapfile -t files
++a.sh:5:main: grep -v '/$'
++a.sh:5:main: pacman -Qlq adbextractor
+a.sh:6:main: grep -Fq libstdc++.so.6 /usr/bin/abe /usr/bin/adb-split.sh /usr/share/adbextractor/LICENSE /usr/share/adbextractor/README.TXT /usr/share/adbextractor/abe.jar /usr/share/adbextractor/perl/backupdecrypt.pl /usr/share/adbextractor/perl/backupencrypt.pl /usr/share/adbextractor/perl/tarfix.pl
+a.sh:3:main: read pkg
+a.sh:4:main: echo == akonadi-fake ==
== akonadi-fake ==
+a.sh:5:main: mapfile -t files
++a.sh:5:main: pacman -Qlq akonadi-fake
++a.sh:5:main: grep -v '/$'
+a.sh:6:main: grep -Fq libstdc++.so.6
+a.sh:3:main: read pkg

Scimmia · 2015-12-10 18:12:36

hamelg, what script are you running?

hamelg · 2015-12-10 18:15:51

#!/bin/bash

while read pkg; do
    echo == $pkg ==
    mapfile -t files < <(pacman -Qlq $pkg | grep -v /$)
    grep -Fq libstdc++.so.6 "${files[@]}" && echo $pkg
done < <(pacman -Qmq)

I'm not alone

Ah, it can't handle packages with no files.

hamelg · 2015-12-10 18:32:15

a possible fix :

#!/bin/bash

while read pkg; do
    mapfile -t files < <(pacman -Qlq $pkg | grep -v /$ ; echo)
    grep -Fq libstdc++.so.6 "${files[@]}" 2>/dev/null && echo $pkg
done < <(pacman -Qmq)

Scimmia · 2015-12-10 18:40:16

foutrelis fixed the script on the front page.

foutrelis · 2015-12-10 18:49:37

The issue has been corrected in the news item.

(grep was consuming the output from the 'pacman -Qmq' command; added <&- which closes grep's stdin file descriptor. While this makes for an unhappy grep when no files are provided as arguments [grep: (standard input): Bad file descriptor], it doesn't matter in this case.)

zerophase · 2015-12-11 20:00:54

Cool, guess I'll just wait for the packages I don't have access to the source code to update.

catalin.hritcu · 2015-12-12 11:02:52

The information provided with this script is Newbie unfriendly and got lots of people confused. How about explaining (here https://www.archlinux.org/news/c-abi-change/) that packages will be listed by the script even after they were rebuilt?

I guess there is no easy way to fix this script to only list packages that actually still need to be rebuilt, right?

So use it as an opportunity to move beyond being a Newbie.
