https://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/devel/2015-November/200457.html The preinstall check hangs on x86_64 only (not on i586!) for Haskell libraries. This is reproducible both for the last tag from sisyphus branch of ghc7.6.1-language-c, and from the test branch (with the old release). Can be done --test-only (if the release has been increased). The tests on other systems (under root with APT and with hasher) don't reproduce this.
Actually, the log shows that the check on i586 also took very long (45 min). Reproducible with hasher (thx to ldv@ for advices) -- the important thing is that hsh --initroot-only is used with non-default (more minimal) configuration: hsh --init --without-stuff --no-contents-ind --pkg-init-list=+altlinux-release-sisyphus --pkg-build-list=altlinux-release-sisyphus,basesystem && hsh-install ghc7.6.1 I've taken the options from http://git.altlinux.org/people/ldv/packages/?p=girar.git;a=blob;f=gb/remote/gb-remote-check-install;h=e7823af17cdfc68369f5782a8cdbac18e581adb7;hb=1535653ca9923ea8cd228ae68b2ca7c1b80eba7e#l41 . $ apt-repo --hsh-apt-config=/home/imz/.hasher/sisyphus/apt.conf Info: Will use hasher when appropriate (with --apt-config=/home/imz/.hasher/sisyphus/apt.conf). at /home/imz/bin/apt-repo line 30.

The problem is that ghc-pkg recache works too much. The output when it is reproduced: [imz@basalt ~]$ hsh --init --without-stuff --no-contents-ind --pkg-init-list=+altlinux-release-sisyphus --pkg-build-list=altlinux-release-sisyphus,basesystem && hsh-install ghc7.6.1 <86>Dec 1 17:19:08 userdel[2182]: delete user 'rooter' <86>Dec 1 17:19:08 groupadd[2187]: group added to /etc/group: name=rooter, GID=562 <86>Dec 1 17:19:08 groupadd[2187]: group added to /etc/gshadow: name=rooter <86>Dec 1 17:19:08 groupadd[2187]: new group: name=rooter, GID=562 <86>Dec 1 17:19:08 useradd[2191]: new user: name=rooter, UID=562, GID=562, home=/root, shell=/bin/bash <86>Dec 1 17:19:08 userdel[2197]: delete user 'builder' <86>Dec 1 17:19:08 groupadd[2205]: group added to /etc/group: name=builder, GID=563 <86>Dec 1 17:19:08 groupadd[2205]: group added to /etc/gshadow: name=builder <86>Dec 1 17:19:08 groupadd[2205]: new group: name=builder, GID=563 <86>Dec 1 17:19:08 useradd[2211]: new user: name=builder, UID=563, GID=563, home=/usr/src, shell=/bin/bash <13>Dec 1 17:19:09 rpmi: libffi6-1:3.1-alt2 1409163098 installed <13>Dec 1 17:19:09 rpmi: rpm-macros-ghc7.6.1-common-7.6.1-alt6 1445385767 installed <13>Dec 1 17:19:09 rpmi: rpm-build-haskell-1-alt26 1445536638 installed <13>Dec 1 17:19:09 rpmi: haskell-filetrigger-0.0.5-alt2 1445446241 installed <13>Dec 1 17:19:09 rpmi: libgmp-devel-6.0.0a-alt1 1431516850 installed <13>Dec 1 17:19:10 rpmi: glib2-locales-2.46.2-alt1 1446853826 installed <13>Dec 1 17:19:10 rpmi: glib2-2.46.2-alt1 1446853786 installed <13>Dec 1 17:19:10 rpmi: pkg-config-0.25-alt2 1298849081 installed <13>Dec 1 17:19:10 rpmi: libffi-devel-1:3.1-alt2 1409163098 installed <13>Dec 1 17:19:16 rpmi: ghc7.6.1-7.6.1-alt6 1445386600 installed <13>Dec 1 17:19:16 rpmi: ghc7.6.1-common-7.6.1-alt6 1445385767 installed ^Chsh-install: Packages installation failed. [imz@basalt ~]$ ^C
Now the ghc package wouldn't pass the install check of Sisyphus: hsh --apt-config=/home/imz/.hasher/sisyphus/apt.conf --init --without-stuff --no-contents-ind --pkg-init-list=+altlinux-release-sisyphus --pkg-build-list=altlinux-release-sisyphus,basesystem && hsh-install ghc7.6.1- ghc7.6.1 && hsh-install ghc7.6.1 This is because rpm-build-haskell-1-alt26 lost its dependency on rpm-build in the meantime (after ghc was built for Sisyphus the last time).
Adding gcc to the environment makes it work: hsh-install ghc7.6.1- ghc7.6.1 gcc && hsh-install ghc7.6.1
I was mistaken about the importance of gcc for this process. The thing that make the difference is glibc-gconv-modules-6:2.17-alt8 . If it is present, it works; if not, it hangs (works too much). I've found out this by doing: rpm -Uhv --notriggers /var/cache/apt/archives/ghc7.6.1-common_7.6.1-alt6_noarch_1445385767.rpm /var/cache/apt/archives/ghc7.6.1_7.6.1-alt6_x86%5f64_1445386600.rpm rpm -q ghc7.6.1 -l | xargs filereq haskell.filetrigger.reqs /usr/lib/rpm/haskell.filetrigger rpm -qf $(< haskell.filetrigger.reqs) | sort -u | xargs rpm -q --qf='%{NAME} '
# while read f; do rpm -qf "$f" --qf="%{NAME} $f\n"; done < haskell.filetrigger.reqs | fgrep gconv glibc-gconv-modules /usr/lib64/gconv/gconv-modules.cache So, a missing cache make it work too much. A cache is something that can be recreated... The next thing I wonder about is whether (1) recreating the cache once takes too much time (2) there is no way to save the cache (in hasher), and therefore the needed computation is repeated many times.
The cache doesn't seem to be the important thing, but I'm not sure yet. This might be an inefficiency of a Haskell conversion routine, or this might be an inefficiency of a glibc's API, which shows up if the gconv-modules are absent. Probably, a simpler test case would be nice. Something to start with: "ghc-pkg recache" must show the problem (with vs without glibc-gconv-modules). Unfortunately, I couldn't run the following (hsh-install can't remove glibc-gconv-modules): [imz@basalt ~]$ hsh --apt-config=/home/imz/.hasher/sisyphus/apt.conf --init --without-stuff --pkg-init-list=+altlinux-release-sisyphus --pkg-build-list=altlinux-release-sisyphus,basesystem && hsh-install ghc7.6.1- ghc7.6.1 glibc-gconv-modules strace && hsh-install ghc7.6.1 && hsh-run

ghc7.6.1-7.6.1-alt6.1 -> sisyphus: * Wed Oct 21 2015 Ivan Zakharyaschev <imz@altlinux> 7.6.1-alt6.1 - "ghc-pkg recache" went crazy without glibc-gconv-modules (ALT#31576); we workaround it for now without an investigation whether it's a Haskell lib or glibc which goes crazy. - Rearranged Reqs/Provs to make them more clear and to prepare for independent co-existence of several versions; not yet ready to make ghc7.6.1-common optional (it should be installed only to select the default GHC).
