Hi Mark,
Sorry for missed this mail.
In the RPM2CPIO case, I'm not sure that we want to exit here. It's
certainly reasonable for the config files to be unavailable to us.
How about just give warning without quit when read configure files fails?
We shouldn't even need a warning. When rpm2cpio is used on a target, much of
the time there is no associated RPM in use (or if it's available, there likely
isn't a database/home configured.)
If the problem is that _dbpath is undefined (and it's needed for some
reason), my suggestion is that "some value" be defined, even if it's
to a non-existent location. It's be even better if we could simply
avoid using the _dbpath at all in the rpm2cpio code.
The segment fault occurs on executing rpmReadPackageFile(). It is a
library function in rpmdb/package.c. And it finally calls rpmdbNew(),
and in rpmdbNew() it calls:
db->db_home = rpmdbURIPath( (home && *home ? home : _DB_HOME) );
home passed in is NULL, and _DB_HOME is defined by:
#define _DB_HOME "%{?_dbpath}"
Instead of a warning above, if we were unable to load the database
configuration, can we just set the value of _dbpath to be "/tmp"? This should
provide a valid 'home' path for any temp files, as well as avoid any load
problems. If there is a configuration available, we can use it.
Then segment fault occurs with xstrdup() because no value is definedfor
_dbpath then it tries to xstrdup() a NULL value in rpmdbURIPath().
That is why I think parse configure files first in rpm2cpio is the way
to fix the issue.
Regards,
Kai
(Note, to folks reading this. Normally in oe-core, if we use rpm2cpio,
we're actually using a shell script version which does not have this
problem. The rpm2cpio -binary- is used by people on the target or
sometimes via the SDK to extract SRPM or RPM packages...)
