PostPosted: Mon Feb 24, 2014 11:25 am    Post subject: Man Pages Will Not Install Reply with quote

Having some issues updating man pages. I get the following errors regardless of version.

Code:
install: will not overwrite just-created '/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/man-pages-3.57/image//usr/share/man/man3/NAN.3' with 'man3/NAN.3'


I thought it might of been a parrallel issue so tried -j1 with no luck. Its also installing over nfs so I wondered if the system times were out of sync but they seem to be updating fine from the ntp server. Any ideas?

Code:
 cat /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/man-pages-3.57/temp/build.log

It seems there are two almost identical files NAN.3 files. Seems very strange.
Code:

cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/man-pages-3.57/work/man-pages-3.57/man3
ls -l NAN.3*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20 Jan 24 11:06 NAN.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20 Jan 24 11:06 NAN.3


However, without the wildcard ls only lists one file.
Code:

cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/man-pages-3.57/work/man-pages-3.57/man3
ls -l NAN.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20 Jan 24 11:06 NAN.3

What is the output of ls -lb NAN.3* in that directory?

So no funny characters. I can fix the issue by modifying the Makefile and changing the install section to install one file at a time. I'm trying to turn this modification into ebuild in my local repository so I can update the rest of the system again. I also tried creating a patch but I don't think its possible for this.

Changes to Make file from
Code:

install:
        for i in man?; do \
                install -d -m 755 $(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)/"$$i" || exit $$?; \
                install -m 644 "$$i"/* $(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)/"$$i" || exit $$?; \

        done; \

Changed to
Code:

install:
        for i in man?; do \
                install -d -m 755 $(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)/"$$i" || exit $$?; \
                for f in "$$i"/*; do \
                        install -m 644 "$$f" $(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)/"$$i" || exit $$?; \
                done; \
        done; \


Not sure why this should work? Any ideas?

It shouldn't be possible to create two files in the same directory with the same name.
If there are two such files, the directory is corrupt and needs rebuilding (easier to
remove and replace it).

If there are two NAN.3 files in the tar archive then it's a weird tar problem; the 3.45
archive looks ok. If not, it is as you say a weird ebuild problem; is it worth trying to
unpack tar with the keep (-k) flag to prevent overwriting? I don't know if the install
flags can be set to do that.

I concur with cwr. The situation shown is impossible, barring filesystem corruption or some subtlety that creates non-unique names that falsely look unique. We know that however they appear, shell processing makes them identical. What is the output of ls -li NAN.3* ; ls -la | od -tx1z?

Fixing the problem is better than serializing the install to work around it.

Install only detects duplicates when you pass them all at once. Your modified version probably overwrites the first version with the second.

Thanks HU and cwr. I'm still none the wiser to the cause of this. I've at least been able to update the system around this for now but I would still like to get to the bottom of it.

ls -li NAN.3* ; ls -la | od -tx1z

i vaguely remember the package man-db requiring updatedb to install new man pages. idk... maybe next time you state what man solution you're running.

Your ls -li appears to be missing. The ls -la seems to indicate you do not have any files named NAN.3.

How is his choice of man relevant when the failure comes from install and all available output indicates a seemingly impossible directory structure?

most packages ship their own man pages. "sys-apps/man-pages" lead me to believe that it is a man-db package. looking further, LFS ships with man pages & man db. man vs man db are just viewers as your saying hu. so man-pages are a section of stage3?

my final comments are /var could be completely full and then not completely unpack, resulting in missing files, and breaking compiles. idk dont take my forum posts as gospel.

choice of man would make a difference if 1 requres man-pages and if the other did not. though i guess both man and man-db require man-pages

Remove both files, install again; if it still happens, can you then please show us the contents of /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/man-pages-3.57/CONTENTS?

Both man-1.6 and man-db are man page _readers_; they don't install the man pages
themselves. I can't recall which program man-1.6 uses to index man pages, but man-db
uses updatedb, configured by /etc/updatedb.conf

Generally each program installs its own man pages, but there are also collections of pages
for eg: Linux system calls.

See 'man man'

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/

personally ive just seen too many online man pages to concern myself with having them installed locally. i let them lurk and do not actively destroy them on my systems. if that var is not a full partition id be curious as to why it wont install for them....

/var is definitely not full. I am updating a diskless system. Var is normally mounted as tmpfs but for updates I have to chroot and mount /var etc over nfs. The filesystem and /var has over 12TB free.

Still happens despite removing files/directories/unmerging etc.

Only one entry for the NAN.3 file!

man-db is used man-1.6 is not.

Upon a closer look, this is the ebuild trying to install it twice; I think the second occurrence gets a different name with a non-displayed character, as it might write to that first before moving it in place.
