Can not package Data::Structure::Util

[romabysen]

When I try to package Data::Structure::Util with "fpm -s cpan -t rpm Data::Structure::Util" I get the following error:

! Installing /tmp/package-cpan-build20130806-31164-i8r0u2/module failed. See /home/lars/.cpanm/work/1375775860.31190/build.log for details. Retry with --force to force install it. {:level=>:error, :file=>"cabin/mixins/pipe.rb", :line=>"46"}
Process failed: cpanm failed (exit code 1). Full command was:["cpanm", "-L", "/tmp/package-cpan-build20130806-31164-i8r0u2/cpan", "/tmp/package-cpan-build20130806-31164-i8r0u2/module"] {:level=>:error, :file=>"fpm/command.rb", :line=>"411"}

Interestingly enough it works fine with "cpanm Data::Structure::Util". This is on CentOS6.

[jordansissel]

The error message comes from cpanm or perl itself.

When I try it, it works for me:

Debian tools (dpkg/apt) don't do well with packages that use capital letters in the name. In some cases it will automatically downcase them, in others it will not. It is confusing. Best to not use any capital letters at all. I have downcased the package name for you just to be safe. {:oldname=>"perl-Data-Structure-Util", :fixedname=>"perl-data-structure-util", :level=>:warn}

[jordansissel]

Can you attach the build log the error message from cpanm reports?

[romabysen]

Yes, it works for me too on Ubuntu creating both deb and rpm's. Must be something with cpanm/perl on CentOS6. Here's the log:

Wait, that's not the build log. Here's the error from the build log:

[romabysen]

Maybe it's because cpanm (temporarily?) upgrades ExtUtils::ParseXS to 3.18 but the one from the base system is still used?

[romabysen]

Ok, the way I got this working was to do "cpanm ExtUtils::ParseXS" so that its installed in ~/perl5.

[hatt]

This looks like the library path issue that got fixed in #500. Basically path precedence was incorrect so system libs were sometimes used instead, particularly with ExtUtils::MakeMaker built libs. It's already fixed in code but I'm not sure if there has been a new gem release since then.

[satoshi]

I have the same issue on CentOS 7 fresh install (GNOME desktop). I just installed cpanm, ruby-devel, gcc and installed fpm via gem install:

[root@localhost ~]# fpm --version
1.2.0
[root@localhost ~]# cpanm --version

For some reason, it is not finding ExtUtil::MakeMaker, even though I have it installed:

Any idea how to fix the problem? I recollect being able to build cpan packages into RPM in the past, so I'm not quite sure what has changed. It could be the way RedHat packages Perl.

Here is the build.log, although there isn't much to it:

I would try to rebuild the extutils makemaker rpm. I ran across similar issues with fpm and perl modules from the EL6 repo not working right. I rebuilt the rpms with fpm by make install with a DESTDIR flag and fpm -s dir -t rpm -n whatever -v newerversionthanrepo -C DESTDIR lib. Then installed my homemade rpm in favor of the EL6 one, afterwards fpm with the cpanm plugin worked fine. I believe it was EL6.5 and I had to manually build 2 or 3 perl modules for fpm to build Moose. On Aug 6, 2013 3:06 AM, "Lars Hansson" notifications@github.com wrote:

I see, let me try that and see what happens. I rebuilt from source rpm to no avail, but your approach may work.

[satoshi]

No dice. I downloaded ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.98 from CPAN, ran configure make then make installed with DESTDIR, packaged it up as rpm from fpm, installed it forcibly (as it had conflicts with perl-lib).

That did not fix the detection of ExtUtils::MakeMaker, however.

[root@localhost ~]# perldoc -l ExtUtils::MakeMaker
/usr/local/share/perl5/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep MakeMaker
perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.98-1.el7.x86_64

One thing interesting is the build log:

So cpanm is somehow not finding ExtUtils::MakeMaker, and that's probably where the problem is. Pretty much everything depends on it.

@satoshi thanks for the info, are you able to dump the cpanm build log and provide the same run as above but with --verbose --debug passed to FPM? It looks like path precedence is wrong, this seems to happen when the build root isn't what is expected. Also, are you using standard system Perl or a custom one from perlbrew/plenv/similar?

[satoshi]

Sure, let me do another run and provide the latest logs as you requested. I am using system Perl on CentOS 7 fresh install with GNOME Desktop package selected.

Here is the fpm log:

Thanks for looking into this, much appreciated.

@satoshi it looks like cpanm didn't find your system perl lib path when installing MM, I think what's happening is that since you have a custom PERL5LIB path (/usr/local/share), you'll need to override the env var for it. Can you show me the output of echo $PERL5LIB?

[satoshi]

Sure, it's not set to anything. I undid the ExtUtils::MakeMaker change I made earlier, so my current environment is pretty much stock CentOS7 out of the box, using system Perl with no gimmicks.

[root@localhost ~]# echo $PERL5LIB

[root@localhost ~]# perl -V

How about cpanm --version? Somewhere along the line, @INC is getting ignored or read incorrectly.

Here it is.

Ok, that all looks fine, weird. Can you run FPM with --cpan-perl-lib-path /usr/share/perl5? From looking at the code and my commits, I only confirmed this works properly with MB and not MM. That should set a custom LIB variable into cpanm. It also might be worth installing local::lib just in case. The system requirements for this were never well documented on our side tbh.

[satoshi]

Sure thing. I installed local::lib via yum install perl-local-lib.

Something is very wrong with the environment here but I can't tell what. I'll try to find some time to install a CentOS 7 VM and give it a go. MM is generally packaged with Perl so it seems weird for cpanm to not find it at all, then get stuck in a dependency loop (MM requires DD, DD wants MM). Somewhere in there cpanm isn't reading the env properly but I think it's due to FPM overriding something incorrectly. Will see how I go after work some time this week then, thanks for your patience.

[satoshi]

No problem at all. From what I understand, I see the same issue with CentOS 6.5 and Fedora 20 as well.

I appreciate that you're looking into this, as I'd like to be able to build CPAN packages using system Perl binary shipped with CentOS 6 / 7. You should be able to reproduce what I've reported here on a VM, as I am using VMWare player instance myself.

[satoshi]

You're right about the dependency loop. EU::MM is a very core module and pretty much every Perl installation has that installed. I am baffled as much as you are on why cpanm says it is not found.

[hatt]

One thing I noticed, we're using the LIB variable instead of PERL5LIB, and the cpanm -L flag which sets local::lib to be self contained. I wonder if it thinks MM isn't core, say due to missing perl-devel package or something, and then tries to install it due to that. Will see soon.

[hatt]

So it looks like two things are going on. Firstly, CentOS packages Perl things into non-standard directories, so cpanm (which we use to pull all our dependencies) can't find several core modules. The second issue is that ExtUtils::MakeMaker has a circular dependency with Data::Dumper. From what I can tell, this is an issue for the entire RHEL family of Perl modules.

When I disable self containment for module installation, works as expected, however that is due to it thinking MM isn't a core module so ignore installing it since it shows up elsewhere. This causes other problems, such as missing non-core modules which is entirely the point of packaging together in the first place. I think the only way we can fix this is either a custom Perl installation, or otherwise setting some weird mix of local::lib flags to change core directories. I have no idea how to do that however. Anyone got more experience than me in local::lib hacks?

[satoshi]

Thanks for looking into this.

Firstly, CentOS packages Perl things into non-standard directories, so cpanm (which we use to pull all our dependencies) can't find several core modules.

Which directories are 'standard directories' and how are they defined? I'm puzzled that cpanm cannot find modules under @INC path, which we've identified as clean.

[hatt]

It finds modules under @INC no problem, what it doesn't do is identify them as core. See https://miyagawa/cpanminus/blob/devel/lib/App/cpanminus/script.pm#L930 for the actual code, it basically uses lib::core::only to do it. The particular entries of interest are the paths for $privlibexp and $archlibexp.

What happens is RHEL family distros don't install ExtUtils::MakeMaker into the configured $privlibexp (/usr/share/perl5) but instead a subdirectory, vendor_perl. Since dependency resolution doesn't look in nested directories not directly related to the module name, it won't find modules installed there. There should be some environment variables we can override to change most things in local::lib, but I think these particular paths are set at compile time for the installation. Will try to test tonight and see how I go.

[satoshi]

Yeah seems like $privlibexp and $archlibexp are set at compile time. Perhaps @miked63017's solution would be the quickest workaround. I probably did it wrong because my custom-made MakeMaker went to /usr/local/share/perl5 rather than /usr/share/perl5. Let me try installing into /usr/share/perl5 and see how it goes.

[hatt]

I wonder how Perl would cope with different installs in the global namespace though. CentOS itself already comes with ExtUtils::MakeMaker packaged, so you'd need to replace that with the same version and higher iteration number, or a new version inside version dependency requirements. Having two at once probably won't be a good idea. I still think FPM would fail to package ExtUtils::MakeMaker unless Data::Dumper is installed to the correct directory. It may also be possible to override the cpanm commands via $PERL_CPANM_OPT to use -l instead of -L, which will load non-core modules outside of local::lib. This breaks packaging dependencies, however if we don't intend to build fat packages, this is acceptable behavior. Maybe we can add a flag to not package dependencies? It would mean this behavior only works in non-RHEL distributions, but at least it would always work for thin packages.

[satoshi]

Right, the simplest thing to do here is to remove the RPM providing ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I think I have identified the RPM in this thread somewhere.

Silly me was actually stuck trying make install the CPAN tarball version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I ran make install with DESTDIR, but it creates a directory structure with usr/local/lib in the target directory - this is not what I want.

[hatt]

I'd grab the spec file and just rebuild it with the small fix to not use custom dirs for core modules.

[satoshi]

I just installed EU::MM into /usr/share/perl5. Now the build log no longer complains about it (though not sure where 6.63_02 came from - I installed 6.98).

However, other core modules still remain undetected so this didn't really do a trick. At this point I'm kinda tilting toward filing a bug on RedHat side, as it seems like their packaging of Perl has a lot of room to be desired.

I don't think they'll see it as a bug since it's a conscious decision on RedHat's part to split vendor modules from other default modules. The relevant code from the Perl SPEC file is as follows.

# use "lib", not %%{_lib}, for privlib, sitelib, and vendorlib
# To build production version, we would need -DDEBUGGING=-g
# Perl INC path (perl -V) in search order:
# - /usr/local/share/perl5            -- for CPAN     (site lib)
# - /usr/local/lib[64]/perl5          -- for CPAN     (site arch)
# - /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl      -- 3rd party    (vendor lib)
# - /usr/lib[64]/perl5/vendor_perl    -- 3rd party    (vendor arch)
# - /usr/share/perl5                  -- Fedora       (priv lib)
# - /usr/lib[64]/perl5                -- Fedora       (arch lib)

You can see there is a clear definition of what goes where, while cpanm expects all core to be in the priv lib and arch lib labelled directories. From what I can tell, the only way to fix this is a complete rebuild and reinstall of Perl and all packaged modules. It seems RedHat split vendor stuff for 3rd party modules while using /usr/local for CPAN installed modules. The problem is when 3rd party modules are part of core. I think they need to revise their listing of core modules and fix those specific packages. @satoshi, if you submit the bug report please link it back here, or otherwise I can try to do so.

[hatt]

I also want to note that after investigation, this later update to the issue is a separate problem. I guess we can't move parts of a thread to another issue, so I'll create a new issue. The initial reported problem here was about path precedence where FPM was using system modules instead of the preferred sandboxed modules. The second report concerns a bug introduced by RedHat's packaging methods. These are unrelated.

[jordansissel]

@hatt thanks for the summary! Let me know what I can help with. I'm mostly just watching the discussion, so if I need to do any code changes, just point me in the right direction :P

[hatt]

Thanks @jordansissel! These values are built into perl at compile time so I don't think we can override them in FPM itself at this stage. As far as I know, the only fix is a full rebuild of perl, so hopefully the guys at RedHat can solve the issue. I've created #748 to track it separately since it isn't really related to the initial bug report for this issue.

[satoshi]

@hatt Thanks for your awesome investigation on this matter. My apologies that it turned out to be unrelated to the original issue discussed here. I have not filed a bug with RedHat yet, my understanding is that new discussion will take place on #748.

[hatt]

@jordansissel given that the actual issue here was fixed by the path precedence PR and the discussion for the secondary issue was moved to a dedicated thread, can we close this issue now? I think it's safe to assume that in the year since this issue was opened with no feedback after the patches I put through, it's now solved with the subsequent gem updates.
