GLib error

adsorber update puts out this at the moment (last update was done two months ago - no errors then):

bash 5.2.15 glibc 2.38 (with CVE-2023-4911 fixed) wget 1.21.4

Of these only glibc has been updated (several times) during the last two months.

Any idea?

Looks like the issue did not come from adsorber itself, but from some underlying tools it uses.

One guess would be adsorber makes use of deprecated tool args or their interface has changed or we just use it wrong.

I'll take a look in the next few days. Thanks for reporting 😎💪

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this on Ubuntu 23.10 with:

• bash 5.2.15
• glibc 2.38
• wget 1.21.3

Did you compile glibc yourself? If there's a new update available for glibc could you please try again?

[someone30]

I'm using the default glibc package of openSUSE Tumbleweed:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/revisions/openSUSE:Factory/glibc

I'll try again after the next update. Thanks for testing.

Hello @someone30,

do you have any update on this? Does the issue still exists?

Just tried it again: same error, even after two glibc updates during the last weeks.

So I edited the update.sh and added -d (debug) to the wget command in line 191. New adsorber update output:

  Setting --output-document (outputdocument) to -

(process:4535): GLib-CRITICAL **: 20:03:58.291: g_uri_get_scheme: assertion 'uri != NULL' failed
(...)

So I guess it's a wget <-> libproxy issue on (at least) openSUSE Tumbleweed. "Proof": GLib errors during adsorber update are gone after adding --no-proxy as a wget parameter.

Closing this as resolved.

Seems like wget (v1) will be slowly replaced by wget2. Fedora 40 has already switched. So this might get less of an issue in the future.
