[SOLVED] python 3.9 grpc undefined symbol: RunningOnValgrind

Hi,

no idea where to post this so I give a try here, it's the closest match.

Since python update to 3.9, I face this issue with grpc

    import grpc
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/grpc/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
    from grpc._cython import cygrpc as _cygrpc
ImportError: /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/grpc/_cython/cygrpc.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: RunningOnValgrind

I uninstalled / reinstalled python grpcio and grpcio-tools (from aur : sometimes rebuild help, not here)

ldd /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/grpc/_cython/cygrpc.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

did show

$ ldd /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/grpc/_cython/cygrpc.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff59309000)
    libssl.so.1.1 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.1 (0x00007f48a6383000)
    libcrypto.so.1.1 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1 (0x00007f48a60a5000)

    libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f48a5e08000)
    libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f48a5cc2000)
    libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f48a5af9000)
    /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f48a6883000)
    libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f48a5af3000)
    libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f48a5ad9000)

and all these files do exist ... and I don't what what more to check.

Any advice will be welcome !

thx

Re: [SOLVED] python 3.9 grpc undefined symbol: RunningOnValgrind

grpc was updated to 1.34.0-1 just  a few hours ago.
Does 1.34 version also have this problem ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: [SOLVED] python 3.9 grpc undefined symbol: RunningOnValgrind

to make sure we talk about the same thing : package is python-grpcio  (there is a grpc package too).

I did uninstall all I could, checked python3.9/site-pacakges did not contain any grpc* thing

Installed again : python-grpcio and python-grpcio-tools

Still getting the same error.

In the meantime, note that I did
- create a local installation of python3.9 (using pyenv)
- made a virtualenv and activated it
- installed python-grpcio an tools with pip there
-> it works. So, I have a local workaround but that's not a clean durable solution

That's weird.

in /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/grpc/_cython  file  cygrpc.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so is 4,2M

in my virtualenv, it's 9.0 M. But ldd shows less things ... so I guess things are hard linked inside instead of using dynamically shared objects

for the records

	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd56d87000)
	librt.so.1 => /usr/lib/librt.so.1 (0x00007fa21cd66000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fa21cd44000)
	libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fa21cb67000)
	libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007fa21ca21000)
	libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fa21c858000)
	/usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa21d504000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fa21c83e000)

Re: [SOLVED] python 3.9 grpc undefined symbol: RunningOnValgrind

to reproduce, edito a file containing

#!/usr/bin/python3

import grpc

print("grpc")

chmod +x and run.

See error

=> probably bug in package, I'll try to report an issue there  (package python-grpcio-1.34.0-2 has the same issue)

Re: [SOLVED] python 3.9 grpc undefined symbol: RunningOnValgrind

for the records, I installed the packages listed in PKGBUILD as required to build python-grpcio package : does not fix the issue either.

Rebuilding from PKGBUID does not fix anything either, produced .so file is still providing same error. Probably upstream issue.

Re: [SOLVED] python 3.9 grpc undefined symbol: RunningOnValgrind

Same problem here running a flask app.

I am wondering if we need to open a bug report at bugs.archlinux.org or if it's an upstream bug an raise an issue in https://github.com/grpc/grpc ?

Downgrading package to 1.33.2-3 works fine.

Re: [SOLVED] python 3.9 grpc undefined symbol: RunningOnValgrind

Here is a wild guess: Maybe the maintainer did not compile the package in a clean chroot, but in a dirty system that had a python build with valgrind enabled.

Re: [SOLVED] python 3.9 grpc undefined symbol: RunningOnValgrind

devtools rejects packages not built in a chroot.

Re: [SOLVED] python 3.9 grpc undefined symbol: RunningOnValgrind

By the way, here is the related bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/68855

The problem appears to be an old version of the abseil-cpp submodule.

Re: [SOLVED] python 3.9 grpc undefined symbol: RunningOnValgrind

Sorry I'm back here a bit late : yeah I opened the bug report.

Should I close this thread, or wait for the bug to be solved first ? No Idea what is the recommended practice.
