Description Matt Dainty 2007-08-31 14:15:45 UTC

(Not quite sure what components this should ultimately be filed under, Fedora 7
at least has the perl-IPC-Shareable component)

Description of problem:

I'm trying to rebuild the FC6/F7 perl-IPC-Shareable Perl module for CentOS 5
x86_64 (like the EPEL RPMs), and it stalls as part of the "make test" phase:

...
+ make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0,
'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/00base......ok                                                             
t/05sv........ok                                                             
t/10av........ok                                                             
t/15hv........ok                                                             
t/20ref.......ok                                                             
t/25ipc.......ok                                                             
t/30lock......ok                                                             
t/35clean.....ok                                                             
t/36ipcav.....ok                                                             
t/38ipchv.....ok 1/5                                                         

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

perl-IPC-Shareable-0.60-3.fc6.src.rpm

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpmbuild --rebuild perl-IPC-Shareable-0.60-3.fc6.src.rpm
  
Actual results:
Stalls at 1/5 in the 38ipchv tests

Expected results:
Should complete cleanly with no errors

Additional info:
Build host is fully updated CentOS 5 x86_64 installation. Build completes
correctly on a Fedora 7 installation.

Comment 1 Matt Dainty 2007-09-06 14:24:47 UTC

Actually, I lie, it will also hang on a Fedora 7 installation.

Running that bit of the test suite in a loop will get it to lock in the same
place eventually:

while true ; do PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
"test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/38ipchv.t ; done
t/38ipchv....ok                                                              
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=5,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.05 cusr +  0.02 csys =  0.07 CPU)
---8<------8<---
t/38ipchv....ok                                                              
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=5,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.04 cusr +  0.02 csys =  0.06 CPU)
t/38ipchv....ok 1/5                                                          

Suggests some sort of subtle race condition somewhere, given this test is also
forking child processes.

Seems someone reported this on CPAN already:

Comment 3 Jan Pazdziora 2008-03-05 15:04:38 UTC

I've sent a ping to Ben S. to see if he is planning to do a new release anytime
soon.

Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-03-05 15:24:34 UTC

I'm pretty sure I fixed this in rawhide as part of the perl 5.10.0 work...

Comment 5 Marcela Mašláňová 2008-05-05 14:00:07 UTC

I tried build on RHEL-5 successfully from F-7 branch.
