Public bug reported: ## TL;DR ##
cross-toolchain-base-ports 38ubuntu1 builds dependencies to libnss-nis-<arch>-cross at version 2.32-0ubuntu2cross1, but misses to build those packages themselve. Most likely, but not surely yet, due to the split of libnss-nisplus from glibc. ## Detail ## Hi, I was first seeing this in a qemu build hanging as dependency wait which worked a day before. => https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/1:5.0-5ubuntu8/+build/19940985 But the build fails at Missing build dependencies: libnsl-dev-alpha-cross At first it seemed the Problem came with new glibc: libc6.1-dev-alpha-cross | 2.31-0ubuntu9cross1 | groovy/universe | all libc6.1-dev-alpha-cross | 2.32-0ubuntu2cross1 | groovy-proposed/universe | all Dependency tree - 2.31-0ubuntu9cross1 (worked) libc6.1-dev-alpha-cross \- libc6.1-alpha-cross \- linux-libc-dev-alpha-cross Dependency tree - 2.32-0ubuntu2cross1 (fails) libc6.1-dev-alpha-cross \- libc6.1-alpha-cross \- linux-libc-dev-alpha-cross In essence we use gcc-s390x-linux-gnu,gcc-alpha-linux-gnu, gcc-powerpc64-linux-gnu,gcc-sparc64-linux-gnu,gcc-hppa-linux-gnu, gcc-riscv64-linux-gnu for different ROM builds and libc6.1-dev-alpha-cross for a corner case. They will pull in their respective cross builds packages: E.g.: gcc-s390x-linux-gnu \- gcc-10-s390x-linux-gnu \- libgcc-10-dev-s390x-cross \- libc6-dev-s390x-cross It is not just libnsl-dev-alpha-cross, all such dependencies now explode: Here from build logs: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6-hppa-cross : Depends: libnss-nis-hppa-cross but it is not installable Depends: libnss-nisplus-hppa-cross but it is not installable libc6-ppc64-cross : Depends: libnss-nis-ppc64-cross but it is not installable Depends: libnss-nisplus-ppc64-cross but it is not installable libc6-riscv64-cross : Depends: libnss-nis-riscv64-cross but it is not installable Depends: libnss-nisplus-riscv64-cross but it is not installable libc6-s390x-cross : Depends: libnss-nis-s390x-cross but it is not installable Depends: libnss-nisplus-s390x-cross but it is not installable libc6-sparc64-cross : Depends: libnss-nis-sparc64-cross but it is not installable Depends: libnss-nisplus-sparc64-cross but it is not installable libc6.1-alpha-cross : Depends: libnss-nis-alpha-cross but it is not installable Depends: libnss-nisplus-alpha-cross but it is not installable libc6.1-dev-alpha-cross : Depends: rpcsvc-proto-alpha-cross but it is not installable Depends: libtirpc-dev-alpha-cross but it is not installable Depends: libnsl-dev-alpha-cross but it is not installable This is reproducible as easy as going into groovy proposed (e.g. container) $ apt install gcc-alpha-linux-gnu ... The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6.1-alpha-cross : Depends: libnss-nis-alpha-cross but it is not installable Depends: libnss-nisplus-alpha-cross but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. This repeats for all arches cross toolchains as outlined above. The dependency is new in the new version of the packages: I wondered if I might look the wrong way, but then on IRC I saw: [09:25] <vorlon> doko: hmm so, Broken libc6-dev-i386-cross:amd64 Depends on rpcsvc-proto-i386-cross:amd64 Which is part of the same scope. Also clearly the new version is what adds the bad dependencies: # apt-cache show libc6-riscv64-cross | grep -e ^Vers -e ^Dep Version: 2.32-0ubuntu2cross1 Depends: libnss-nis-riscv64-cross, libnss-nisplus-riscv64-cross Version: 2.31-0ubuntu9cross1 That is out of src cross-toolchain-base-ports: cross-toolchain-base-ports | 36ubuntu4 | groovy/universe | source cross-toolchain-base-ports | 38ubuntu1 | groovy-proposed/universe | source Which seems to generate versions along glibc as the packages are then versioned like: "2.32-0ubuntu2cross1" I would assume that this is cross-toolchain-base-ports not yet considering src:libnss-nisplus which is new in groovy and states: Description-en: NSS module for using NIS+ as a naming service This package provides a Name Service Switch that allows your NIS+ server act as a name service. This means providing user account information, group id's, host information, aliases, netgroups, and basically anything else that you would normally get from /etc flat files. . This module was formerly part of glibc, but is now standalone to be able to link against TI-RPC for IPv6 support. So maybe that needs to be considered somehow within cross-toolchain- base-ports? P.S. also adding glibc and gcc-10 bug tasks, but mostly for tracking as those are tightly coupled ** Affects: cross-toolchain-base-ports (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: gcc-10 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Affects: glibc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: update-excuse ** Also affects: gcc-10 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: glibc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gcc-10 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895632 Title: builds for libc 2.32 break all cross toolchains - missing libnss- nis-<arch>-cross To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cross-toolchain-base-ports/+bug/1895632/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
