Description Honza Horak 2012-11-21 12:39:44 UTC

Description of problem:
Let's see e.g. itext-2.1.7-13.el7 and corresponding -debuginfo package itext-debuginfo-2.1.7-13.el7.

There is /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2b/fcdb3c66516cd4203fd53fbb37314a75274e68 included in the latter one but it is a dangling symlink (pointing to a non-existing file).

I was wondering how this is possible and it seems this is happening when we use %exclude directive for binary files in the spec. The link is created during "debug info extraction" phase and then the binary is not included into rpm.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.9.1.3-7.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
every-time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Spec file includes binary file, which is installed
2. Binary file is not included into rpm: %exclude is used
3. See the dangling symlink in -debuginfo package
  
Actual results:
Dangling symlink is found in -debuginfo package

Expected results:
No dangling symlink is created

Additional info:
I believe this can be fixed by unlinking all links created during debug info extraction and pointing to files excluded from rpm.

I'm attaching an example SRPM, you can build it and see the resulted links at
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/XX/XXXXXXXXXXXX

Example of using %exclude for binary file

Comment 2 Panu Matilainen 2012-11-21 13:01:08 UTC

Debuginfo generation operates on the disk contents and knows exactly nothing about specs. Changing that would require fundamentally changing the way debuginfo is generated, which might happen eventually but not in rhel-7.

As a general rule, dont leave files that wont be packaged at all in the build root. The primary use of %exclude is sub-packages, eg

---
%install
mkdir -p ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_bindir}
install foo bar zoo zip zap zup ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_bindir}

%files
%{_bindir}/*
%exclude %{_bindir}/foo

%files foo
%{_bindir}/foo
---

I was thinking about the opposite way, i.e. erase links for files that are being excluded (which means during "processing files" phase).

Understood and agreed.

Rpm doesn't know whether an excluded file belongs to some other sub-package until it has processed file-lists of all the packages being created by a spec, including -debuginfo which is "just another sub-package" as far as rpm is concerned. And at that point its simply too late to start removing things from already created headers.

Comment 5 Honza Horak 2012-11-21 14:27:06 UTC

Ah, OK. So feel free to close this if you want.

Comment 6 Panu Matilainen 2012-11-23 08:21:34 UTC

Well, the behavior is not exactly right so it is a bug of sorts, its just not something I see getting fixed in rhel-7. Perhaps this should be just moved to Fedora rawhide so it wont get closed by nack-bots and forgotten.

Ok, let's move this to Fedora.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 16:58:56 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 10 Panu Matilainen 2013-10-07 05:25:37 UTC

Moving (back) to rawhide as something to consider at some point in future...

Comment 13 John Dodson 2018-04-20 02:22:13 UTC

I'm amazed! This dangling symlink problem has surely not been there since 2012

where I only noticed this recently... Duplicate of this bug: 1563892

So is this a new incarnation of an old bug?

    Mark Wielaard 2018-07-10 07:32:19 EDT

    There is not much to go on here. But this looks like a dup of bug #878863.
    If you believe otherwise please check whether these symlinks were not to
    excluded files in a particular package. Thanks.

What???

If the files are excluded will that result in a dangling symlink?
I thought what we are trying to do is prevent dangling symlinks!

Are you saying the dangler is left after "exclusion"?
I obviously don't understand the underlying problem.

No. People are aware of the issue, no further data needed. Filing more bugs on the same is not productive either. Thanks.

Dropping the erroneous FutureFeature, this is just a plain old bug.

Comment 24 Mark Wielaard 2019-04-22 21:22:16 UTC

Since this bug was filed generation of build-id symlinks has been rewritten a bit. Originally build-id symlink generation was done completely in find-debuginfo.sh. But since rpm 4.13 it is done through rpmbuild in build/files.c and they are not specific to debug files, but can also be generated for normal executables. See the addNewIDSymlink() and generateBuildID() functions. I am wrote that code, but since the original find-debuginfo.sh code didn't handle %excluded files (and I didn't know about this bug at the time), neither does the new code.

What makes all this slightly confusing is that some of the file lists for the debuginfo packages are still generated by find-debuginfo.sh script, which doesn't know anything about excluded files and simply works using find on the build/install dir.

But for .debug files there is a filterDebuginfoPackage() function that does filters out .debug files that would correspond to %excluded main/binaries.

The following commit, which solved the %exclude problem for .debug files, might provide some inspiration for a fix to do something similar for build-id symlink creation:

Author: Igor Gnatenko <i.gnatenko.brain>
Date:   Fri Jul 28 15:21:00 2017 +0200

    exclude respective debug files for files which are excluded

It would appear that the dangling/broken symlinks are now also being generated in,

This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
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 EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

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.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 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, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.

I don't think this was fixed.

Comment 30 John Dodson 2020-11-06 01:48:39 UTC

Can we please push this to FC32 & 33 & future rawhides?

Comment 31 Tim Landscheidt 2020-11-24 09:23:16 UTC

Just to clarify: The dangling symlinks in /usr/lib/.build-id are due to "errors" in the packages' spec files.  The patch will make future package builds of these spec files fail.  Thus spec files can be "fixed" now and must be in the future?

Comment 32 Panu Matilainen 2020-11-24 13:09:56 UTC

Correct.

The issue occurs when %exclude is misused to leave unpackaged content in the buildroot. When that loophole is closed, this issue is gone as well.

Comment 34 Panu Matilainen 2021-02-05 14:57:32 UTC

This is fixed upstream and will land in Fedora >= 35, but as it's somewhat disruptive it wont be backported to older versions so it doesn't make much sense to keep this hanging open.

Comment 35 Panu Matilainen 2021-04-08 07:57:41 UTC

Upstream change was reverted due to other issues and a new tracking issue created. This is not Fedora specific in any way so tracking separately here doesn't make a whole lot of sense -> closed upstream is still correct.
