Brew: util-linux: private method `xz_dep'

[konstin]

• [x] Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
• [x] Ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried your prior step?

Bug reports:

linux-util is required for postgis, so I can neither install postgis nor linux-util:

Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry and just ignore them. Thanks!

Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
`./configure` scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and what additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.

Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:

Thanks for reporting @konstin!

Can you do another brew update and try again please? I believe I fixed this issue earlier this morning (https://github.com/Linuxbrew/brew/pull/183).

[konstin]

In this case the update hasn't reached me:

$ brew update
Already up-to-date.

[rwhogg]

EDIT: my apologies; I forgot that #183 hasn't gotten into a stable release yet. I'll try to make one as soon as possible.

[konstin]

Thanks for responding so fast! I'll wait for the update and then re-check this issue.

[axiac]

I got the same error (and the same stack trace) while trying to install gettext (as a dependency of php56) on a fresh Linuxbrew install.

brew doctor doesn't report anything abnormal (Your system is ready to brew.), brew update says Already up-to-date..

[konstin]

After manually pulling latest master (yes, I'm aware that not the recommended way of updating), I get the following error:

@konstin Please report the output of brew gist-logs util-linux
You may want to install Linuxbrew in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew if possible which will allow to use the precompiled binary bottle rather than compiling from source.

[rwhogg]

@axiac I've released a new stable build with the fix. Please retry the installation; it should update you to my new build automatically.

Thanks a bunch and my apologies 🐱

thank you, brew was up-to-date but still unable to install node.

This bug is resolved in 1.1.0.1. I'm not sure why brew update isn't upgrading to that version for you. Try

cd `brew --repo`
git fetch --tags
brew --version
brew update
brew --version
git checkout -B master 1.1.0.1
brew --version

Homebrew 1.1.0
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision ffbb7; last commit 2016-11-27)

I removed ~/.linuxbrew, installed a fresh copy, ran the above commands again and got the same results.

@axiac I'm not sure why brew update isn't upgrading to 1.1.0.1 for you. Try

cd `brew --repo`
git fetch --tags
brew --version
brew update
brew --version
git checkout -B master 1.1.0.1
brew --version

Installing in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew is not possible as I don't have root access.

You could open a ticket asking your systems/IS/IT group to create a linuxbrew role account for you.

@konstin /home/utasart/.linuxbrew/bin/ld: cannot find -lpam

The issue is open at Linuxbrew/homebrew-core#1018.
There's a PR open to add a linux-pam formula to Linuxbrew at PR https://github.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-core/pull/1186

@sjackman It's not "it doesn't work for you". It doesn't work at all, not only for me. Read my previous comment again, please. I removed the ~/.linuxbrew directory and installed Linuxbrew from scratch. What I got was version 1.1.0, not 1.1.0.1.

cd ~/.linuxbrew; git branch -v reveals that the current branch in ~/.linuxbrew is stable (I didn't run anything else inside the repo):

$ git branch -v
  master 83d6f8c dependency_collector: Make ant_dep and xz_dep public (#183)
* stable 17a0c41 Merge tag Homebrew/1.1.0 into Linuxbrew/master

After git checkout master, brew --version reports 1.1.0.1 and gettext installs without errors.

I hope this helps you finding the cause of the issue.

Ah, that's why it works for me and not for you. My branch was already master. We'll have to look into why the stable branch doesn't automatically update to 1.1.0.1.
@maxim-belkin is working on merging and pushing version 1.1.1 which will resolve this issue.
For other people following this thread, the workaround is

cd `brew --repo` && git checkout -B stable 1.1.0.1

The problem appears to be here: https://github.com/Linuxbrew/brew/blob/master/Library/Homebrew/cmd/update.sh#L220-L222

UPSTREAM_TAG="$(git tag --list |
                    sort --field-separator=. --key=1,1nr -k 2,2nr -k 3,3nr |
                    grep --max-count=1 '^[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*$')"

It's the last grep that causes the issue; the tag is found but 1.1.0 is selected instead of 1.1.0.1 since it assumes a 3-digit version string.

Suffice it to say that this at least proves that releasing 1.1.1 should resolve this.

[sjackman]

We may want to change this regex in case future Linuxbrew hotfix patches are needed.

@axiac, @konstin, @sbicode: I've merged 1.1.1.

Please retry the installation that was failing for you previously. You should be updated to 1.1.1 automatically when you do so, but if that doesn't work then please do a brew update and then try the installation again.

Thank you all for your patience as I worked through this issue.

I'm going to be online for a few more hours and I will respond to any issues with this you report as quickly as I can.

[sjackman]

This issue should be resolved by Linuxbrew 1.1.1.

[axiac]

@rwhogg @sjackman It works correctly now. Thank you both for your quick responses and solution.

[sjackman]

Happy to help.
