Description Nathan Thomas 2010-05-10 14:52:50 UTC
abrt 1.0.8 detected a crash.

architecture: x86_64
Attached file: backtrace
cmdline: perl /usr/bin/publican build -l ca-ES -f html-single
comment: I was using a modified version of jjmcd's build script to build copies of the readme-live-image guide for docs.fedoraproject.org. The first time I did it, everything worked fine (I had a separate script for each of the formats, and each script ran without problems). The second time I tried to use it, publican kept crashing. User error somewhere probably!

package: publican-1.6.2-0.fc12

reason: Process /usr/bin/perl was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)

Comment 3 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2010-05-10 23:32:10 UTC
Hi Nathan, I've tested this on RHEL and F12 and can't duplicate this crash. Can you attach ca-ES.log from a broken run?

Also if you are running publican 1.6.2 you can add '--nocolours' to avoid having ansi colour codes in the log.

Example log file

Hi,

The old log files were overwritten when I ran the script again, here is an example log from a failed build.

Comment 5 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2010-05-12 04:45:58 UTC
Hi Nathan, not much help in there either :(

Can you try enabling debug mode and manually building a language that fails?

Comment 6 Nathan Thomas 2010-05-19 13:58:43 UTC
Debug mode was already enabled.

Upgrading to 1.6.3 still results in crashes, but the files build successfully and produce complete log files (see attached examples).

Comment 9 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2010-05-31 04:51:39 UTC
Hi Nathan, the trace is showing a crash in libxslt, I'm not quite sure how it's trying to double free something.

Can you paste the output of:

$ rpm -q libxslt perl-XML-LibXSLT

FWIW I still can't duplicate this crash, nor have I heard of anyone else having it :(

Cleaned up script

Just thought I'd add my take on what the build script should look like.

Hi Jeff,

Here's the output:

libxslt-1.1.26-1.fc12.x86_64
perl-XML-LibXSLT-1.68-4.fc12.x86_64

I've upgraded to Publican 1.99, but haven't had chance to test it yet (I've packed everything away, moving house in two days!) - I'll let you know when I do, and I'll try your cleaned up script too.

Many thanks!
Nathan

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 15:11:37 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 13 Nathan Thomas 2010-11-06 12:52:33 UTC
Hi, I'm no longer experiencing this problem with Publican 2.x.

Cheers
Nathan
