Issues building lomiri-telephony-service

[Timespansoul]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build lomiri-telephony-service but I'm failing with unmet dependencies. Here are my sbuild log errors:

report:

package: sbuild-build-depends-main-dummy
version: 0.invalid.0
architecture: amd64
status: broken
reasons:

missing:
 pkg:
  package: sbuild-build-depends-main-dummy
  version: 0.invalid.0
  architecture: amd64
  unsat-dependency: liblomirihistoryservice-dev:amd64

sbuild errors:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sbuild-build-depends-main-dummy : Depends: liblomirihistoryservice-dev but it is not installable
Depends: libusermetricsinput-dev but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
apt-get failed.
E: Package installation failed

I have repo2.ubports.com and repo.ubports.com in my sources list.

I'm trying to locate these packages. Am I missing a repository?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

second try, i have some 404

Err:8 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security/main arm64 Packages
  404  Not Found [IP: 185.125.190.82 80]

That one is fixed with that MR: https://github.com/ubports/crossbuilder/pull/78
But still not working...

ok, got it build locally, was not easy...
From a clean install ( crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 delete )
I've first change this in debian/control file:

dconf-cli <!nocheck>,
....
python3:any <!nocheck>,

Then installed dh-translations: "crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 inst-foreign dh-translations"

It failed to find inttool and jq, i've tried to install them via inst-foreign too, but got a message saying that tmp/debian already exist, i removed it from the "foreign" folder, then retry a build, and it worked....

oh, just noticed that if you change also in debian/control, it works directly:
dh-translations:all,

see MR: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-telephony-service/-/merge_requests/98

The packages are definitely in repo2. I rebuilt everything and still getting the same error. For some reason I can't pull these packages from the repo.

[lduboeuf]

@Timespansoul
I never tried with sbuild. But with crossbuilder it should work.
Or is it because you are using the main branch ?
because it targets 24.04 , ubports/focal is the one to take

[Timespansoul]

@lduboeuf Thanks for the reply. I was indeed using main however the result is still the same with the ubports/focal branch. I'm glad you clarified that for me. I overlooked that completely.

Here is another error I get:

E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/binary-arm64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.83 80]
E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal-updates/main/binary-arm64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.83 80]

E: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal-security/main/binary-arm64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 185.125.190.83 80]

The folder "binary-arm64" doesn't exist in the repository.

This is another error I get with crossbuilder:

Removing lomiri-telephony-service-cross-build-deps:arm64 because I can't find liblomirihistoryservice-dev:arm64

libusermetricsinput-dev:arm64 and liblomirihistoryservice-dev:arm64 packages are in repo2.ubports.com. I've tried installing these packages manually which leads down a messy path of missing dependencies.

I'm building on a host machine running 20.04. I feel like I've done everything correctly.

Are people using Debian as host with better results?

I feel like there is something wrong with the repository. If this is a repo issue where would be the best place to raise the issue?

[Timespansoul]

My workflow is getting messy. I'll start with a clear canvas tomorrow.

yes it sounds like deb sources get polluted by first try on main branch

[Timespansoul]

Hi everyone,

so I'm at a loss here.
Problem:
When I try to build lomiri-telephony-service with crossbuilder it fails giving the final error:

mk-build-deps: Unable to install lomiri-telephony-service-cross-build-deps at /usr/bin/mk-build-deps line 457.
mk-build-deps: Unable to install all build-dep packages

What seems to be the more specific error is this:
Removing lomiri-telephony-service-cross-build-deps:arm64 because I can't find liblomirihistoryservice-dev:arm64

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone ubports/focal branch of telephony-service.
2. Set distro and arch with distro=20.04 and arch=arm64.
3. Enter directory and run the command 'crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:${distro}" --architecture="${arch}" build'

If I navigate repo2ubports com I see that the package is located in the lomiri-history-service folder.
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

[lduboeuf]

@Timespansoul
humm that is out of my skills sorry, but something is wrong regarding a dependency.
In the very last way to try to build it, there is a possibility to make a draft MR on gitlab so that the deb is built with the CI.
I will try this week to build it myself with crossbuilder to see, but i'm not an expert on debian things

[Timespansoul]

@lduboeuf I think by the time I'm done with this I might be an expert haha. I opened an issue for telephony-service on gitlab. I'll look into making a merge request, though I hardly know what the process involves.

You seem like a one man army in here haha. Your name pops up a lot in many different places. Thanks for the effort man! I know it's a thankless job but your time is appreciated albeit by few. Thanks for looking into this.

humm, so i've checked out the ubports/focal branch and did crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 build , and it get build. But i admit i haven't clean my project before since i face internet issue currently...
But iirc on many project we need to specify some foreign installs first before build, like:
crossbuilder inst-foreign=dh-translations --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64

[Timespansoul]

@lduboeuf said in Issues building lomiri-telephony-service:

crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 build

When I use the command:

crossbuilder inst-foreign dh-translations --lxd-image=ubuntu:20.04 --architecture=arm64

i get this error:

Error: Failed to fetch instance "lomiri-telephony-service-usdk-16-04-amd64-armhf-dev" in project "default": Instance not found

I did fiddle with this command for a bit a couple of nights ago to no avail. I tried installing liblomirihistoryservice-dev:arm64 via inst-foreign. Didn't have any luck. I noticed it always mentions xenial with that command.

I ended up drafting a merge request. The package fails to build on mandatory distribution. It fails to build binaries. It's being looked into by the maintainer.

Regarding your MR, i don't see why you added .gitlab-ci.yml , core projects are not built with gitlab CI but with Jenkins ( auto run when pushing to the MR), explaining that you don't have any package built.

The error "lomiri-telephony-service-usdk-16-04-amd64-armhf-dev" you got seems weird, i don't see why 16.04 is there

[lduboeuf]

indeed, i've tried to start from scratch, and it fails to build with crossbuilder now:
First try with: "crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 build"

@lduboeuf I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea what I'm doing lol. Should I delete the yml file? This gitlab stuff is a bit convoluted. Much of this is new to me.

yes you can remove it

[Timespansoul]

@lduboeuf Here are my results.

I deleted image with:

crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 delete

I edited the control file:

i then ran the build command:

crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 build

I got these errors:

mk-build-deps: Unable to install lomiri-telephony-service-cross-build-deps at /usr/bin/mk-build-deps line 457.
mk-build-deps: Unable to install all build-dep packages

I then attempted to install dh-translations:

 crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 inst-foreign dh-translations

get this error:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dh-translations:
 dh-translations depends on intltool; however:
  Package intltool is not installed.
 dh-translations depends on jq; however:
  Package jq is not installed.

I then delete the tmp/DEBIAN folder :

sudo rm -r foreign/tmp/DEBIAN

and run the build command and get this error:

mk-build-deps: Unable to install lomiri-telephony-service-cross-build-deps at /usr/bin/mk-build-deps line 457.
mk-build-deps: Unable to install all build-dep packages

EDIT: dh-translations actually did install at this point in my process.

I am then was able to successfully install dh-translations.

and this one again:

This whole process was tried with "dh-translations:all," in the control file with the same result.

[Timespansoul]

It seems as though the syntax you provided, with inst-foreign dh-translations before the distro and arch variables gives the xenial error I mentioned.
