Description
pkg upgrade tentative on -master, with pkg-1.4.10:
[1/35] Upgrading pciids from 20150105 to 20150124...
[1/35] Extracting pciids-20150124: 0%
pkg: archive_read_extract(): truncated input
[1/35] Extracting pciids-20150124: 100%
[1/35] Deleting files for pciids-20150124: 100%
pkg: unlinkat(usr/local/share/pciids/): Bad file descriptor
Various people have reported similar issues on the IRC channel.
It is unclear when pkg(8) started to fail exactly since this problem does not occur systematically.
However, we can be sure pkg-1.3.x was safe.
According to the logs of my wolfpond.org mirror, pkg(8) was upgraded to version 1.4.0 on December 16, 2014.
pkg-1.3.8_3 is able to successfully upgrade a system where pkg-1.4.10 fails.
pkg-1.4.10 still fails on world+kernel from December 15, 2014 (as of commit 08223d8ccc101b6ac6cfaf19be98117596423a8b).
pkg-1.4.2 is able to successfully upgrade a system where pkg-1.4.10 fails.
pkg-1.4.4 is able to successfully upgrade a system where pkg-1.4.10 fails.
pkg-1.4.6 also fails to upgrade the test system.
pkg 1.4.5 also fails.
Last good pkg version: 1.4.4
First bad pkg version: 1.4.5
pkg 1.4.5 started using chflags features.
According to tests made by zrj, chflags support is what is breaking package extraction.
pkg-1.4.10 without chflags support works as expected.
- Status changed from New to Resolved
fixed starting with package 1.4.12
