Problems on a very current FC6

[Brian Dykstra]

Hi,

I just found this project this morning and eagerly installed Kadischi
after an ugly experience last night with live-linux scripts.

My system is a running kernel 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6
I've yum updated all the packages and installed everything required from
the wiki install documentation.  I had no problem compiling the source. 
So basically I'm very current and ready to go.

When I ran # kadischi --help I got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/share/kadischi/kadischi.py", line 8, in ?
    from functions import *
  File "/usr/local/share/kadischi/lib/functions.py", line 12, in ?
    import isys
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 32, in ?
    import block
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/block/__init__.py", line 33, in ?
    from bdevid import bdevid as _bdevid
ImportError: libparted-1.7.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

I dug up an older version of parted and install libparted-1.7.so.1 but ran
into all new errors:

[root@ ~]# kadischi --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/share/kadischi/kadischi.py", line 8, in ?
    from functions import *
  File "/usr/local/share/kadischi/lib/functions.py", line 12, in ?
    import isys
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 32, in ?
    import block
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/block/__init__.py", line 33, in ?
    from bdevid import bdevid as _bdevid
ImportError: /usr/lib/libbdevid.so.5.1.19: undefined symbol:
ped_exception_get_handler

I was wondering if anyone had Kadischi working on current FC6 (I saw the
Unity CD release) and had some pointers?

Thanks

libbdevid should come from the mkinitrd package on FC6.

I had kadischi working on FC6 soon after FC6 was released.  Haven't
tried it again lately.

parted was bumped, mkisofs and such hasn't been yet, which anaconda/kadischi 
would need.  I ran into this while running pungi.

Toshio,

The libdevid is there as is the latest mkinitrd.  I think I'm definately
seeing versioning problems here.  I was hoping that someone might be
building on a current system.

Thanks

Jesse,

I suspected it might be a versioning problem.  I noticed on one of the bug
summaries that there was a problem with parted versions and a few other
related packages.

Does this mean I'm dead in the water until the rpms get caught up or is
there some sort of workaround I could try?

Did your kadischi work on a base FC6 release (before a bunch of the patches)?

Thanks

Yeah -- read your post wrong, sorry.

It looks like mkinitrd needs to be recompiled/ported to the new
libparted:

$ ldd /usr/lib64/libbdevid.so.5.1.19 |grep parted
        libparted-1.7.so.1 => not found

hmmm... It recompiled cleanly.  I don't have a local repository so I'm
afraid that using kadischi would be a bit slow for me right now.  Would
you be interested in trying an updated mkinitrd and seeing if it works?
(No guarantees that it won't break your system, etc etc.)

http://www.tiki-lounge.com/~toshio/fedora/libbdevid-python-5.1.19-1.0.0.1.x8...

If that works for you, can you open a bug report in bugzilla.redhat.com
against mkinitrd asking that FC-6 mkinitrd be rebuilt against the new
libparted?  That way the mkinitrd maintainer can address the issue for
everyone.

This problem seems to be platform specific.

My i386 version of FC6 does not say anything about "not found", seems
everything okay here.

Another thing I forgot:

Do you have parted installed? I think it is a dependency for mkinitrd,
but one could of course force rpm to install mkinitrd without checking
deps.

So, what does rpm -q parted say?

Please post output of:

rpm -q parted
rpm -ql parted
ls -al <path_to_the_libparted_so>
