Subject: matplotlib: FTBFS: Missing plugin file _ns_transforms.so: Failing build

Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 12:08:33 +0200

Package: matplotlib
Version: 0.87.7-0.3
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS on i386, very likely to fail everywhere else
Usertags: grid5000 rebuild

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, I discovered that your package
failed to build on i386.

Relevant parts:
for v in 2.4; do \
                for p in na ns nc; do \
                        for f in transforms.so image.so cntr.so nxutils.so; do \
                                # Check for these four files for each plugin: \
                                #       _na_transforms.so, _na_image.so, _na_cnt
r.so, _na_nxutils.so \
                                if test ! -f debian/python-matplotlib/usr/lib/python$v/site-packages/matplotlib/_${p
}_${f}; then \
                                        echo "Missing plugin file _${p}_${f}: Failing build"; \
                                        exit 1; \
                                fi \
                        done \
                                # Also check for the backend plugins: \
                                # e.g. backends/_na_backend_agg.so \
                        for f in agg.so gdk.so; do \
                                if test ! -f debian/python-matplotlib/usr/lib/python$v/site-packages/matplotlib/back
ends/_${p}_backend_${f}; then \
                                        echo "Missing backend file _${p}_backend_${f}: Failing build"; \

I also hit this bug but was able to verify that the plugin which the
compile complained was missing was actually present. Commenting out the
plugins tests from the rules file results in the package building and
the resulting package appears to work.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: python-matplotlib
Version: 0.90.0-1
Tags: patch


Actually, the problem is that there is a loop on the python versions inside a *per version* target.

As it is the build scheme goes something like (rough pseudocode):

 

  for each version ($*) in $(PYVERS)  # this is done by make
                                      # (because of the dependencies of "install-arch" in line 56)

       python$* ./setup.py install_lib  # install the extensions for version $*

       for v in $(PYVERS); do

                    check that stuff$v is installed

I really have no idea what the original intent was, but the result is that after the first (2.4) extensions

are installed, the check is run for *all* versions, and fails because 2.5 extensions were not installed yet.

I believe that the v loop in line 73 should just be removed.

The minimalistic patch attached simply loops over a single version (the current one), which makes the package build OK.

Package maintainer should really fix the problem in a more appropriate manner.

    Regards,

         Amit A.

Hi,

now that pyversions outputs 2.4 and 2.5, that's no longer true.

(BTW, the correct way to tag was to send a mail to the control bot
<control@bugs.debian.org>, with ``tag 422475 patch'', see the bts
command of the devscripts package.)

I'm Cc-ing the DPMT, since its members might want to give a hand and
clean this package (I don't have the time right now).

Cheers,

fixed 422475 0.90.1-1
thanks

I have verified that the version of matplotlib in experimental builds
properly. In case someone wants to backport the patch to unstable, instead of
uploading that version to unstable, it appears that the propper change would 
be to define

DEFPY := $(shell pyversions -v -d)

at the start of debian/rules plus the following minor change to Amit's patch
