[package] xorg/system: #11698 ignores CONAN_SYSREQUIRES_MODE #11936

Open emzeat opened 2 years ago

emzeat commented 2 years ago

With #11698 merged the CONAN_SYSREQUIRES_MODE env variable is no longer honored. Instead the system always tries to run _tool.update() which then fails when configured with check only:

xorg/system: ERROR: while executing system_requirements(): Can't update because tools.system.package_manager:mode is 'check'.Please update packages manually or set 'tools.system.package_manager:mode' to 'install' in the [conf] section of the profile, or in the command line using '-c tools.system.package_manager:mode=install'

Is this intentional? I have a docker container which has all dependencies installed so there should really be no action required. When manually setting tools.system.package_manager:mode=install there is also no additional packages installed after the update so apparently the logic fails to detect that nothing needs to be installed?

Thanks for any insight you might have.

@emzeat The update was intentional due Conan 2.x migration. The regression was not expected, it seems like we will need a new config option to cover your case, as the only available modes are check and install. Meanwhile, we can use lockfiles to restrict to the previous package revision.

I'll open an issue to Conan, reporting this case. Thanks for sharing.

@emzeat please, check conan-io/conan#11715

@emzeat I am using Conan in the docker container and since yesterday I've experienced the same issue with xorg package. Running container as root and updating Conan to 1.50.0 is a workaround but it's a really ugly solution.
