Verbose log of a build attempt (25.10 KB, text/plain)
2016-02-27 09:07 UTC, Ville Skyttä
no flags Details

Description Matthew Gyurgyik 2016-01-26 12:41:16 UTC
Description of problem:
The buildroot does not contain /bin/su.

Therefore `/usr/bin/systemd-nspawn -q -M 0100e5ddf07b4eab9ac259f76aa547f7 -D /var/lib/mock/epel-7-x86_64/root /bin/su -l mockbuild -c /bin/rpm -Uvh --nodeps /builddir/build/originals/repowatch-20150913git8566d2f-1.el7.src.rpm` fails.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mock-1.2.14


Actual results:

Build fails due to missing su library

DEBUG util.py:474:  Executing command: ['/usr/bin/systemd-nspawn', '-q', '-M', 'eaa93d4df39e476fa924cdf3968a1ab8', '-D', '/var/lib/mock/epel-7-x86_64/root', '/bin/su', '-l', 'mockbuild', '-c', '/bin/rpm -Uvh --nodeps /builddir/build/originals/repowatch-20150913git8566d2f-1.el7.src.rpm'] with env {'LANG': 'en_US.UTF-8', 'TERM': 'vt100', 'SHELL': '/bin/bash', 'HOSTNAME': 'mock', 'PATH': '/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin', 'PROMPT_COMMAND': 'printf "\x1b]0;<mock-chroot>\x07<mock-chroot>"', 'HOME': '/builddir', 'CCACHE_DIR': '/tmp/ccache', 'CCACHE_UMASK': '002'} and shell False
DEBUG util.py:399:  Directory /var/lib/mock/epel-7-x86_64/root lacks the binary to execute or doesn't look like a binary tree. Refusing.

[build2 SPECS]$ sudo /usr/bin/systemd-nspawn -q -M eaa93d4df39e476fa924cdf3968a1ab8 -D /var/lib/mock/epel-7-x86_64/root /usr/bin/ls /bin/su
/usr/bin/ls: cannot access /bin/su: No such file or directory


Expected results:

/bin/su should be installed inside the chroot and build should succeed


Additional info:

adding 'util-linux' to `config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] = 'install @buildsys-build'` solves the problem.

Comment 1 Miroslav Suchý 2016-02-25 17:13:48 UTC
Fixed in commit:
* 00ab711 (HEAD -> devel, origin/devel) do not call /bin/su and rather utilize --user of systemd-nspawn [RHBZ#1301953]

Verbose log of a build attempt

This change broke my local mock setup. I'm running mock upstream git master in place with this wrapper script in the mock dir:

#!/bin/sh
exec sudo $(dirname $0)/py/mock.py --configdir=/etc/mock "$@"

Verbose build log from a build attempt is attached. The srpm rebuild with "rpmbuild -bs" is the last thing done, according to the log it exits successfully with return code 0, but produces no other output and no srpm, and that's it.

Comment 3 Ville Skyttä 2016-02-27 09:08:59 UTC
(Forgot to note that I'm running mock on F-23)

Comment 4 Matthew Gyurgyik 2016-02-29 16:35:09 UTC
I think this changes breaks mocks for RHEL6 containers.

$ sudo /bin/systemd-nspawn -q -M rhel-6-x86_64 id jenkins
uid=10813(jenkins) gid=21373(jenkins) groups=21373(jenkins)

$ sudo /bin/systemd-nspawn --user=jenkins -M rhel-6-x86_64 id jenkins
Spawning container rhel-6-x86_64 on /var/lib/machines/rhel-6-x86_64.
Press ^] three times within 1s to kill container.
Container rhel-6-x86_64 failed with error code 1.

I think the above behavior is seen because getent initgroups is not supported by RHEL6.

On a mailing list thread back in 2014 Lennart stated:

"There's nspawn's --user= switch which relies on glibc's "getent"
binary to be available in the container, which it will use to resolve
the username in the container's context and then change to it."

"The getent binary has been part of glibc for a long time, but note
that we make use of "getent initgroups" which is a more recent
addition..."

Comment 5 Miroslav Suchý 2016-03-08 20:49:52 UTC
> I think this changes breaks mocks for RHEL6 containers.

Then I would say - lets not support it on RHEL6. :( Mock with nspawn backend still has too many reported and unfixed bugs that it cannot be called stable. I would love to make it stable on recent Fedoras and then go back and eventually make it work on older systems.

> The srpm rebuild with "rpmbuild -bs" is the last thing done, according to the log it exits successfully with return code 0, but produces no other output and no srpm, and that's it.

Fixed in commit:
* 8200ce4 define command that it works with old-chroot too [RHBZ#1301953]

FYI If systemd want to be more compatible here in container world then they could use "id" for the same purpose which is available even in el5

sh$ getent initgroups test_user
test_user              20728 1070 5977
sh$ id -G test_user
20728 5977 1070

Comment 32 Steven Haigh 2017-07-08 07:23:39 UTC
I can confirm this update has broken all package building on EL7 hosts in an EL6 mock environment.

I've tagged BZ#1468802 as depending on this.
