The thing that's really odd here (and bug 217263 which seems to be a dupe), is that gpg dumped core at all. One of the first things that gpg does on startup is to set RLIMIT_CORE to zero. This suggests that whatever went wrong, went wrong pretty early in the execution. I've managed to reproduce this, and ended up with a similar
core. It did not reproduce when using a instrumented copy
of gpg that I compiled, so I finally added an strace to the
modsign.sh script to try and see where things went wrong.
It seems gpg was not successfully executed before the segfault.
The execve() failed:
execve("/usr/bin/gpg", ["gpg", "--no-greeting", "--no-default-keyring",
"--homedir", "..", "--secret-keyring", "../kernel.sec", "--keyring",
"../kernel.pub", "--default-key", "Red", "-b",
"/var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-1.2798-ro"...], [/* 37 vars */]) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid
argument)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---

The intermediate process calling execve() to execute gpg is what cored. gpg itself was never executed. anyone figure out why this is happening and how to fix it? I have to use mock and build kernels on an el4 machine for el5. (that seems to work OK) Does this share the same root cause as Bug #246623 ? Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks. If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6, please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle/EOL If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting the change. Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we are following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. And if you'd like to join the bug triage team to help make things better, check out http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: After a fresh install of FC6, a kernel build (using stock i686 configuartion file) fails when gpg crashes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fresh install of FC6 on i686 system 2. Download kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.src.rpm 3. begin i686 kernel build using rpmbuild Actual results: Kernel build fails with error: [snip] + for i in '`cat modnames`' + sh ./scripts/modsign/modsign.sh /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-1.2798-root/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/keyspan.ko Red gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir `..' + mv -f /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-1.2798-root/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/keyspan.ko.signed /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-1.2798-root/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/keyspan.ko + for i in '`cat modnames`' + sh ./scripts/modsign/modsign.sh /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-1.2798-root/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/sierra.ko Red ./scripts/modsign/modsign.sh: line 46: 7556 Segmentation fault (core dumped) gpg --no-greeting $KEYFLAGS -b $module.out error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.58972 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.58972 (%build) Expected results: Kernel builds to completion.
