package failures for 2012Q2

[David Holland <dholland-pkgtech%netbsd.org@localhost>]

This information is a couple days out of date, but I'll update it as
needed over the weekend.

Thanks to Aleksey Cheusov we have failure data for 5.1 as well as
netbsd-current.

There are 130 total failures listed here, of which around 100 would
have been counted without the 5.1 data. As usual there are a dozen or
so more packages requiring manual download or similar that I'm not
including. 

   ------

benchmarks/phoronix-test-suite
www/davical
        Fails in cheusov@'s 5.1 build because PHP_BASE_VERS isn't
        being set. Not sure if this is a distbb issue or not.

cad/pcb
        On netbsd-5 gets "C compiler cannot create executables".

chat/jabberd2
        Fails linking to (its own) set_debug_log_from_config().

chat/pidgin-facebookchat
        Missing library libjson-glib-1.0.so.0 (probably bad rpaths)

converters/p5-MARC-Charset
        This fails to link because p5-gdbm isn't always actually
        linked to gdbm. PR 44985. After the last fixes, this only
        fails in some builds. There isn't a clear pattern.
        Bootstrapped vs. not bootstrapped may be part of it.

databases/cstore
        This throws an exception during build... in some environments.
        It is a nuisance to work with because the distfiles contain
        extremely large sample data sets.

databases/libcassandra
        On netbsd-5, cannot find libthrift. Works on -current.

databases/sqlsharpgtk
        mono linking issues (best bet probably is to look for an update)

devel/clisp-syscalls
        lisp issues - it fails because one of the packages it's trying
        to build ends up locked, or something like that.

devel/electric-fence
        SIGSEGV during build, thought to be amd64, or maybe LP64,
        specific. For some reason I can't reproduce this myself in my
        build, although everyone else seems to be able to.

devel/florist
        This is currently skipped because of ada compiler issues, but
        was going to be / should be updated.

devel/mico
        Assertion failure during build. I can't reproduce this, no
        idea why.

devel/mono-tools
        In my build enviroment this installs extra files and fails.

devel/p5-VCP
        "not a HASH reference"; the problem is that
        textproc/p5-XML-AutoWriter is not compatible with Perl 5.14 and
        needs to be updated/fixed.

devel/sdcc
        This fails in some NetBSD environments, depending on the exact
        pattern and length of pathnames, because it uses the find
        -exec {} + syntax, which in NetBSD's find has completely broken
        size accounting and sometimes fails with E2BIG.

devel/swt
        Missing library libXtst.so.7 (probably bad rpaths)

devel/xsd
        Boost problems (boost::filesystem::path) plus when that's
        fixed, PR 43691 may apply.

editors/Sigil
        On netbsd-5, the patches fail to apply. They work fine on
        -current. No obvious reason why.

editors/gobby
        glibmm issue after last update of glib2/glibmm.

editors/mule
        temacs dumps core. (Several causes of this have already been found
        and fixed, but at least one more remains.)

editors/xemacs-current
        temacs dumps core, PR 35500. This issue is Olde. It may be
        possible to fix it by updating.

emulators/mame
        Fails on netbsd-5 due to lack of popcount().

games/pokerth
        boost issues. This has been broken for a couple years. There's
        an update available that might fix it.

games/qnetwalk
net/kiax
security/qca
security/qca-tls
wm/icecc
        In some environments, qmake does something unspeakable and
        ends up trying to use paths with tons of ".." components and
        a missing slash, so install fails miserably. This affects a
        number of packages and there's no clear pattern of which
        environments trigger it.

games/simgear
        boost issues. Hopefully there's an update to fix it; I haven't
        looked yet. Note that this package blocks the build of
        games/flightgear, which is (arguably) a fairly high-profile
        package.

geography/proj-swig
        Can't find projects.h. This is because it was using an
        unsupported API of projects, which was removed upstream.
        Hopefully there's an upstream patch for it.

geography/qlandkartem
        Can't find projects.h. Same issue as proj-swig.

graphics/camlimages
        Broke on libtiff 4.0, needs (not terribly involved) patching
        or maybe an update.

graphics/evas
        Fails on netbsd-5 due to lack of immintrin.h.

graphics/f-spot
        Needs gnome-keyring-sharp imported from wip, then probably
        some other stuff.

graphics/gri
        In Joerg's build, the docs do not install. I can't reproduce
        the behavior in my build. Probably there's a build dep missing.

graphics/koverartist
        C++ issues appearing on gcc 4.1 (netbsd-5).

graphics/librsvg
        Fails on netbsd-5 since the last update, because -fPIC is not
        being used. This doesn't happen on -current.

graphics/ruby-opengl
        Missing library libGL.so.2. Probably bad rpaths. Only ruby18
        and ruby19 fail; ruby193 works. Not sure what's different.

inputmethod/py-input-pad
        Only PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT builds because otherwise it
        depends on multiple Python versions at once. The right
        way to fix this is to split out the Python support of
        inputmethod/ibus.

lang/cint
        Assorted C++ issues. Also annoying to work with because the
        build doesn't stop on error.

lang/clang
        Fails on netbsd-5 because -fPIC is not being used.

lang/gcc47
        Dies linking libgcj... but only in some environments.

lang/mercury
        Generic build failure. When that's fixed, it'll probably
        revert to its previous problem of SIGSEGV during build.
        Apparently works on i386.

lang/polyml
        "ld: bad value"... but only in some environments.

lang/racket
lang/racket-textual
        SIGABRT during build. Works on 32-bit platforms.

math/cgal
        Fails on netbsd-5 due to lack of fenv.h.

mail/cone
        C++ issues with ncurses since it was updated.

math/octave-forge
        Needs complete rework for current octave.

math/py-pytables
        SIGSEGV in build, in the py25 version only. And only in
        Joerg's build; I don't get the same behavior.

mbone/vic-devel
        Problems with the x264 codec, not sure what's causing it.

meta-pkgs/desktop-gnome
meta-pkgs/gnome-devtools
        These end up depending on both webkit-gtk and webkit-gtk3.

misc/hanzim
        Install requires an X server. This is readily fixable if
        anyone thinks it's worth bothering.

misc/koffice
        C++ issues. (PR 46317)

misc/molden
        So far the distfile hasn't changed again, but it doesn't build
        owing to some FORTRAN lossage. Updating it might help, or might
        result in the constantly changing distfile problem again. This
        package is probably also a good candidate for removal.

misc/openoffice3
        Shared object "libcurl.so.4" not found. PR 46567.

misc/root
        Fails on fpos_t on -current and -6. Will probably have other
        problems when that's fixed.

misc/window
        Fails on netbsd-5 because it expects the system headers to
        provide __printflike.

multimedia/dvb-apps
        Fails on netbsd-5 due to lack of dev/dtv/dtvio.h.

multimedia/fuppes
        Doesn't like ffmpeg any more.

multimedia/libva
        Fails on netbsd-5 because of a glx symbol conflict. Not sure
        yet why it arises.

multimedia/vlc
x11/startup-notification
        Fails on netbsd-5 because it requires x11-xcb. Should probably
        just be marked not for netbsd-5 if X11_TYPE is "native".

multimedia/vlc08
        Needs an older ffmpeg. Stephen Borrill wants to keep this and
        was going to import an old ffmpeg to support it, but hasn't yet.

multimedia/vlc2
        Fails on netbsd-5 because there's no O_DIRECTORY. Should be
        easy to patch.

multimedia/vls
        Fails on "dvbpsi" codec.

multimedia/xfmedia
        Fails on new xine-lib.

net/arla
        Expects kernel headers (and so fails right off in most builds)
        and also expects kernel headers that don't exist. Only buildable
        on netbsd-4, IIRC. Unless I've got mixed up again, should be
        removed in favor of net/openafs.

net/citrix_ica
        Assorted problems; most immediate is that the packaging doesn't
        handle amd64 correctly.

net/dcsharp
        mono linking issues. Best bet is probably to look for an update.

net/delegate
        Link errors on own symbols. Might be gcc inline problems, might
        be more severe than that.

net/ettercap
        Fails on netbsd-5 because sys/lwp.h is not compilable on its own.

net/kftpgrabber
        Fails on netbsd-5 because it doesn't like netbsd-5's openssl.

net/kismet
        Fails in Joerg's build due to problems with ImageMagick, which
        I can't so far reproduce.

net/ktorrent
        Expects to find solid/control/powermanager.h, but it doesn't
        exist.

net/mppe-lkm
        Requires kernel source; but even if the kernel source is
        present, still doesn't build, at least on -current.

net/nocol
        Link failure on its own symbols, for unclear reasons. It looks
        like a MAKE_JOBS issue, but is not.

net/ns
        Conflicting declarations of ethernet structures.

net/omniNotify
        LP64 build failures because of C++ overloading issues.
        This should be easy to fix.

net/openwbem
        C++ issues.

parallel/openmpi
        Various plugins don't install. Currently building an update.

pkgtools/pkg_select
        const casts (I thought this was fixed?)

print/ruby-prawn
        ruby18 (only) fails with a syntax error. Maybe it should just
        be marked as not for ruby18.

print/tcl-pdflib
        Cannot find own library. Might be MAKE_JOBS.

print/tex-bagpipetex
        Cannot open quickref.dvi. Not clear exactly what's going on,
        but (AFAIK) it hasn't built since it was imported...

security/ap-modsecurity
        Fails when built against apache24. Others work.

security/bitstir
        Generic build failure.

security/isakmpd
        Generic build failure.

security/libprelude-ruby
        Shared lib missing after install; not clear why.

security/openssl
        Fails on netbsd-5 by spewing assembly to stdout instead of
        into the assembler. This appeared in the -current builds as
        well and got fixed; no idea yet why the fix doesn't work on
        netbsd-5.

security/sfs
        C++ issues. This issue is Olde.

security/validns
        Fails on netbsd-5 due to lack of stpcpy().

shells/ast-ksh
shells/static-ast-ksh
        Unfetchable. May be fixed.

sysutils/burn
        Invalid objc. Might not be hard to fix but requires some objc
        knowledge.

sysutils/p5-Sys-Filesystem
        "env: ./build: No such file or directory"... in some
        environments and not others.

sysutils/sformat
        Fails on getline(), and the makefiles don't stop on error.

sysutils/wipe
        Can't find DIOCGPART.

sysutils/xenkernel3
        "variably modified ... at file scope" errors.

sysutils/xentools41
        rpath relative to WRKDIR.

wm/afterstep
        PLIST divergence. PR 41965. This issue is Olde. The problem is
        that a program used to process the docs is failing silently, and
        it's not clear why, or why it fails in some build environments
        and not others.

wm/fvwm-themes
        PLIST divergence since last update.

wb/obconf
        Cannot find 'obrender' and 'obparser'. This is because it needs
        to be updated for more recent wm/openbox... but upstream hasn't
        bothered to release anything.

www/ap-rpaf
www/ap-scgi
        These fail on apache24, and are otherwise ok.

www/ap-ssl
        This doesn't get along with recent openssl.

www/aws
        rpath relative to WRKDIR.

www/nvu
        C++ issues with freetype.

www/ocsigen
        Needs update (in gnats).

www/paros
        Pile of missing libraries; probably bad rpaths.

www/pound
        openssl problems (?)

x11/grandr_applet
        Gnome issues.

x11/openbsd-input-ws
        Does not work with current X server. PR 41585. This issue is Olde.
        There's a new upstream version (with a slightly different name,
        just to be confusing) that might help.

x11/qt4-creator
        qdoc problems.

x11/ruby-gnome2-gtksourceview2
        Fails on netbsd-5 because -fPIC is not being used.

x11/ruby-wxruby
        ruby18 works; ruby19 and ruby193 fail. The problem is that the
        version of swig is wrong; however, the version of swig these
        require has other problems that preclude importing it. There is,
        IIRC, now a newer swig that should work for everyone but it has
        to be tested.


And finally, the following packages fail on netbsd-5 (with native X)
because x11-links is hiding native X libraries they need, and things
are not set up to allow using the corresponding libraries from pkgsrc
X instead. (They get hidden because they are older than
BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS for the pkgsrc X versions. This seems wrong but
is not easily changed.) Still more fail on netbsd-5-0.
