Description david08741 2020-05-22 10:18:35 UTC
Created attachment 1691014 [details]
example of failing spec

Description of problem:
mock fails with network disabled, if trying to resolve the local hostname.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mock-2.2-1.fc31.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Get attached test.spec
1. rpmbuild -bs test.spec
2. mock ../SRPMS/test-2.10-1.fc30.src.rpm  --root=fedora-33-x86_64

Alternative:
a0. compile mpich program in mock
a1. mpirun program

Actual results:
resolve local hostname fails

Expected results:
program should run and exit without error

Additional info:
This is especially annoying as this causing failures in copr.

A workaround is to enable network, but that shouldn't be required.

Weird, I tested gethostbyname in mock, and it seems to work
even in default systemd-nspawn (--isolation=simple is work-around).

<mock-chroot> sh-5.0# cat ~/test.c 
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        char *hostname = argv[1];
        struct hostent* h = gethostbyname(hostname);
        char ip[1000];
        inet_ntop(h->h_addrtype, h->h_addr_list[0], ip, 1000);
        printf("IP of %s is %s\n", hostname, ip);
}
<mock-chroot> sh-5.0# gcc ~/test.c
<mock-chroot> sh-5.0# ./a.out localhost
IP of localhost is 127.0.0.1
<mock-chroot> sh-5.0# ./a.out f3c93d2243464e9cb0ff764809b4b681
IP of f3c93d2243464e9cb0ff764809b4b681 is 127.0.0.2

It seems mpich is doing something else?  What I think isn't correct
is to expect that there's a DNS server doing the translation inside
mock.  There are no servers available.

Comment 7 david08741 2020-10-10 09:54:49 UTC
Thanks for fixing. I am not sure what copr runs on, but if it gets fixed at some point, that works for me :-)

Comment 8 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2020-10-10 10:00:46 UTC
It doesn't matter what copr runs *on*. This package is installed in the build root *inside*
of copr. The patch is currently in F33 as mentioned above, so F33 build roots should be
fixed, but lower ones not.
