[SOLVED] Latest update-firefox script nutty - or is it me?

Post#1 by nanZor » 27 Jun 2019, 06:06

Is anyone having trouble with the latest update-firefox script, or is it me somehow?

I dig the new script, and it seems to perform it's job, and when requesting that we create an xzm, it just leaves a txz. It also complains about firefox itself being corrupt. I've tried stable and beta, and they seem to fail in much the same fashion.

Here's some of the grueling details. :) Look towards the end. notice my ls expecting an xzm only to find a txz and all the other complaints.

I'm running the script as root inside the /tmp directory - is that a problem?

Code: Select all

A slackware package will be created.

Creating slackware package ...

Slackware package maker, version 3.1415927.

Searching for symbolic links:
usr/bin/firefox	/usr/lib64/firefox-68.0b13/firefox
usr/lib64/firefox	./firefox-68.0b13

Making symbolic link creation script:
( cd usr/bin ; rm -rf firefox )
( cd usr/bin ; ln -sf /usr/lib64/firefox-68.0b13/firefox firefox )
( cd usr/lib64 ; rm -rf firefox )
( cd usr/lib64 ; ln -sf ./firefox-68.0b13 firefox )

It is recommended that you make these lines your new installation script.

Would you like to make this stuff the install script for this package
and remove the symbolic links ([y]es, [n]o)? y


Removing symbolic links:
removed './usr/bin/firefox'
removed './usr/lib64/firefox'

Creating your new ./install/doinst.sh...

This next step is optional - you can set the directories in your package
to some sane permissions. If any of the directories in your package have
special permissions, then DO NOT reset them here!

Would you like to reset all directory permissions to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and
directory ownerships to root.root ([y]es, [n]o)? n

shouldn't matter where you run it from (fyi update-firefox downloads update-firefox-live which does all the work-see /usr/local/bin)
you're using 5.0 rc1?
problem seems to be here:

Code: Select all

xz: (stdin): Cannot allocate memory
and

Code: Select all

ERROR:  xz -9 --threads=2 -c returned error code 1 -- makepkg failed.
and then

Code: Select all

xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
Unable to install /tmp/firefox-68.0b13-x86_64-en-US-1.txz:  tar archive is corrupt (tar returned error code 2)
some similarity with Porteus v5.0rc1 problems (Post by quotaholic #72331) (different but pkg-tools related)
something going on with xz not being able to allocate memory : enough ram?
i just ran it here, with no problem..
oops spoke too soon, can't seem to activate it ... hmmm
EDIT
it was okay, didn't allow me activate it in /tmp

It does it too on my stable 4.0

I tried that thinking I must have mucked up my rc1 playing around with stuff, but nope - 4.0 does it.

Overall I *dig* the new script and what it tries to accomplish. Very thoughtful for the end-user.

got me stumped at the moment...
can only suggest, you try to use makepkg, or installpkg on something and see what happens.. or see if another update-<browser> works or not..
or try "always fresh" (if you havn't)

SOLVED!

Great point about trying it from Always-Fresh. This time it worked fine with 4.0. And I love watching that script fly and do it's thing. Nice work people!

I'll give my 5.0rc1 a go when I'm near it next.

it could be useful to know what it is in your changes or modules that's creating the interference, if thats what's happening..
