[Solved] Makepkg aborting after last pacman update

flakedave · 2010-06-23 20:34:19

Hi all,

firing makepkg yields:

$ makepkg

==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting...

And therefore this happens also when I try building packages of the AUR with yaourt.
The problem showed up with last pacman update.

What I am I doing wrong?

Thanks for you patience,

Davide

did you merged .pacnew files? especially makepkg.conf.pacnew

flakedave · 2010-06-23 21:13:34

After reading your message I did... n00bism.
I had no makepkg.conf.pacnew in /etc though.
As for the others, I ran pacdiff and merged or used them as replacements.
No improvement though.

It's very likely that several PKGBUILDs are broken now, because makepkg will immediately abort if a command returns a non-zero code. Do you have an example that does not build?

Hi, thanks for replying.

Actually I have that error simply if I fire makepkg in a dir that doesn't contain a PKGBUILD file. Is that normal?

yaourt -Syu --aur gets the same error when trying to build bin32-skype with the default PKGBUILD from the AUR.
lib32-flashplugin fails to build also with the same "unknown error".

I hope this answers your question. Do you mean that PKGBUILDS in the AUR are not OK? Sorry for the naive questions...

At least bin32-skype is fine.

I guess makepkg -h and makepkg -V still work? If so, it could be a configuration problem indeed. Could you post your makepkg.conf?

flakedave · 2010-06-23 21:58:42

Yeah, version and help are fine.

Your config is fine. Do you use a ~/.makepkg.conf and does "makepkg --nocolor" work?

flakedave · 2010-06-23 22:36:17

does "makepkg --nocolor" work?

It does! You people look like magicians to me... is this a known problem? And no, I had no conffile in my home dir.
So flagging color with a ! in the makepkg.conf like

BUILDENV=(fakeroot !distcc !color !ccache)

does it. Thanks!

Is there a formal program to accomplish the merge? I manually edited the .pacnew and copied it over. Is there an easier way?

I used pacdiffviewer.
Its usage is pretty straighforward, you choose a file and then it opens with vimdiff.
Then I used the tips on http://amjith.blogspot.com/2008/08/quic … orial.html to navigate and update the file.

No... it is not known...

You can use any diff program. pacdiff (from pacman-contrib) uses vimdiff by default.

No, would be great if we could find a fix. This is the section that fails:

unset ALL_OFF BOLD BLUE GREEN RED YELLOW
if [[ -t 2 && ! $USE_COLOR = "n" && $(check_buildenv color) = "y" ]]; then
    ALL_OFF="$(tput sgr0)"
    BOLD="$(tput bold)"
    BLUE="${BOLD}$(tput setaf 4)"
    GREEN="${BOLD}$(tput setaf 2)"
    RED="${BOLD}$(tput setaf 1)"
    YELLOW="${BOLD}$(tput setaf 3)"
fi

So, it seems that tput (provided by ncurses) is the culprit. When I look at the list of packages that require ncurses on my system, it should be installed on your system as well. Could you post the result of "type tput"? It should be: "tput is /bin/tput".

flakedave · 2010-06-23 22:55:12

Indeed I get

$ type tput
tput is /bin/tput

xduugu · 2010-06-23 23:04:53

Could you run this script?

#!/bin/bash -e

trap -- 'echo $LINENO' ERR

ALL_OFF="$(tput sgr0)"
BOLD="$(tput bold)"
BLUE="${BOLD}$(tput setaf 4)"
GREEN="${BOLD}$(tput setaf 2)"
RED="${BOLD}$(tput setaf 1)"
YELLOW="${BOLD}$(tput setaf 3)"

andresp · 2010-06-23 23:07:40

It will error if it can't recognize TERM.

xduugu · 2010-06-23 23:22:50

But wouldn't it print an error message then?

$ TERM=asdf tput
tput: unknown terminal "asdf"

@flakedave
The output of "tput sgr0; echo $?" would be interesting as well.

flakedave · 2010-06-23 23:30:04

The script yielded

7

Sad story follows... I rebooted. I don't know why i did it. Now turns out that i messed up with the .pacnew above, like I changed... fstab.
Looks like I have learnt a lesson. I can't find my homedir anymore... any suggestions? I think I'll have to play a bit before I put things into order... I'm using another machine at the moment, so experiments are postponed for a while, sorry...

andresp · 2010-06-23 23:49:32

Ok i think I now why. If it's dumb or mono, tput will fail setaf silently:

TERM=dumb tput setaf 2; echo $?
1

Because the terminal does not support the colors.

So those lines have to be modifed to || true. tput's stdout will be blank if it fails, so the assignments do not hurt.

edit:

Note that "dumb" is an example. He's not using dumb because then the LINENO would be the first; dumb simply doesn't support anything.

However there are terminals that support bold but do not support colors (setaf). This exception would be handled by making tput non-fatal.
