Arch Linux

can you check subversion subversion 1.6.17 which hit testing this morning?

Different error message:

# git svn rebase
Bizarre copy of UNKNOWN in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/SVN/Base.pm line 80.

Debian Bugreport: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628507

Sounds like the upstream perl subversion code isn't compatible with 5.14. This really has nothing to do with me so I'm going to unassign myself, but I'd recommend reporting this upstream to the subversion project.

The title is a bit misleading now. The module is being used by git, but is provided by subversion.

I think this should be reported upstream : http://subversion.apache.org/issue-tracker.html

I've sent an email to users@subversion.apache.org

Could you please give a step by step example (preferably using a public svn server) that could be used to reproduce the "Bizarre copy of UNKNOWN ..." error ?

Without using an svn server, using internal perl binding tests:

1. Get subversion package from archlinux svn
2. run makepkg
3. cd src/subversion-1.6.17/subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native
4. run "make test"

I run the test and everything went fine.

make test

ping?

We ran the tests and everything went fine? we need to see if this is a real bug, this is blocking the perl update to core, and is making our work slower, please we will need to know if this is a real issue and then we need to reproduce it to fix it.. need some information here, what architecture were you using? I've tried perl 5.14.0 + swig + subversion on differents x86_64 machines and everything is working as expected.

I don't want to close this report or stop the movement to perl 5.14.0 for this.

Still fails with git and "make test" on my i686 desktop and on my i686 laptop.

EDIT: x86->i686

Do you mean i686 right?

Your perl environment is sane? I mean, you didn't installed cpan packages by hand, right?

Yes I meant i686, sorry

I think my perl environment is sane.

I tested it on a third i686 and it failed, also tested it on a x86_64 machine and it passed (!)

So this is probably related to the architecture.

I can reproduce the problem in a clean i686 chroot environment :

Ok it's working for me on i686 with perl 5.14.1 (despite the tests results)

I did the following steps:

1) git svn init svn://svn.archlinux.org/packages/subversion
2) git svn fetch -r HEAD
3) git svn rebase

would you mind to test and give me some feedback again? if this got fixed we can proceed with the movement to perl 5.14.1 to core!

The command sequence above worked well for me , but 'git svn clone ....' failed.

$ git svn clone svn://svn.archlinux.org/packages/subversion
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/subversion/.git/
Bizarre copy of UNKNOWN in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/SVN/Base.pm line 80.

"git svn" is still not working in the current arch linux (after upgrade to perl 5.14.1) because of this bug. I'm using the i686 arch.

I'm getting the same "Bizarre copy of UNKNOWN" message while doing "git svn fetch" on a repository.

Still seeing the "Bizarre copy of UNKNOWN" issue as well with `git svn rebase` on i686.

Hi remember this bug is completely upstream, but you could try this:

a) use git svn init , instead svn clone (and try git svn fetch + rebase .. this is working on i686)
b) do pressure on subversion upstream (just few people reported this and they are not paying so much attention, some noise could help).

It should be said that it is not completely clear that this is a subversion bug. Latest subversion compiled against Perl 5.12 works fine, so it might still be a Perl bug.

I also have this problem and using "git svn init" and then fetch does not work either. Doing "git svn fetch -r HEAD" gives the same "Bizarre copy of UNKNOWN" error for me.

Any other workarounds to try?

The fetch-based workaround isn't working for me either. I just had to downgrade to get it working again.

It is a subversion bug. In Makefile.PL the ExtUtils::MakeMaker overwrite CCFLAGS[1]. We have a patch for this [2] and a new package should be available in [testing] very soon.

[1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628522
[2] http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/subversion/trunk/subversion-perl-bindings.patch

Contrary to the comment on #24577 about holding perl-5.14 due to this bug, it has finally made it into extra, breaking git svn for me with the "Bizarre copy of UNKNOWN" on i686.

The only way I managed to fix this was to "yaourt -U perl-5.12.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz git-1.7.5.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz subversion-1.6.17-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz". Downgrading subversion is needed as well, because otherwise "git svn fetch" gives me "error: git-svn died of signal 11".

@Ismael, contrary to what was said, i'm still amazed that you end up downgrading instead of trying that patch.

@Ionut I need git-svn urgently for work, I don't really have time to try the patch, sorry

Patch works for me. Thanks Stéphane!

The problem persists with my setup:

> git svn clone http://mysql-python.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mysql-python

Initialized empty Git repository in /.../mysql-python/.git/
Bizarre copy of UNKNOWN in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/SVN/Base.pm line 80.

This is my setup:

>pacman -Q subversion perl git

subversion 1.7.4-1
perl 5.14.2-7
git 1.7.10-1

@x2b: Something is probably wrong with your setup. I tried your command and I didn't get any error messages.

Additionally, Base.pm is located under /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/SVN/, not /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/SVN/.

See if /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/SVN/Base.pm is owned by any package, and if not, do some cleanup under /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/ (this directory is empty on my system.)

Works for me.
