cygwin download incomplete - try again - loop?

cygwin download incomplete - try again - loop?

[Ralf Hauser]

Hi, when I use cygwin's setup.exe. to try to "install from Internet" -
System - setup 2.218.2.9-1, I get a "download incomplete - try again?" error
loop with serveral download sites.
Does it intentionally choke on itself?

Hello Ralf,

Try a snapshot version of the installer. You can get one from
http://www.cygwin.com/setup-snapshots. The latest binary
there is setup-2.249.2.1.exe

Hello,

I have had similar issues with ALL versions within the snapshot directory.
In all cases I was trying to download everything, ie selecting INSTALL 
at the root of the tree.

Simple,

When you install everthing, make sure to scroll down to the setup entry
and change it to "Skip"...  That should fix the problem...

Cheers,

The setup.exe source should work fine. I fixed that bug on the 20th may.
I just tried, and it works fone for me.

Thanks, 2.249.2.1 seems to work fine for downloading what I said, but when I
use it to install from my local directory, it crashes "Instruction at
"0x00434679" referenced memory at "0x000000000". The memory could not be
"read".

This is caused to the presence of a setup.ini in the root of the local package
directory and a string-handling bug in the rfc1738 code.

Hmm... Maybe not. The latest setup source I have here (fetched from
HEAD, not a branch)is 2.249 and the fix for that problem is there. And
this was fetched some time ago - so I suppose all the latest and
greatest setup.exe should have this fix also.

I can't check right now though because I'm behind a firewall.

It appears that Max is right - without setup.ini in the local package
directory everything is fine, if you put one, setup.exe crashes :(

So, Ralf, if you remove the setup.ini from the local package
directory, setup.exe won't crash.

Backtrace from the crash below.

strlen(url) is called with url = NULL on line 92.

Its easy to kludge round this, but it strikes me that the problem would be
better solved by finding out why a null pointer is being passed in the first
place. Maybe this weekend :-).

this some weeks ago.

I'll take a look at it too.

I'm pretty sure it is the same one. I kludged around it in my local copy, by
returning a null string, without calling strlen(), but I didn't submit a patch,
because the very fact that a NULL pointer is being passed in is a bug elsewhere
in the code, which I have not been able to find and squish, because I have not
yet invested the time to fully understnd the control flow of this part of setup.

Max.

I can't duplicate this. Is this from HEAD or setup-200206?

Also, can you use 'bt full' not 'bt' when getting a back trace?

2.249.2.1 blows here but I dont have a debuggable exe right now.
When Max reported this crash for the first time I wasn't able to
reproduce it.

I'm running the XP Home with all critical updates, etc.

HEAD, checked out from an rsync local replica of the cvs tree. Updated within 15
mins of this mail.

Placing a setup.ini file in the root of the local package directory duplicates
the crash reliably for me.

In here, (pkgsource.sites[n]->key ) is apparently evaluating as a zero
length string. This should never happen (key must have a value).

However, I'm pretty sure the sites class allows key to have no value, so
what you need to do is to go to frame 2 or 3 and identify the package
and site count that it's got. And then work backwards to find out when
the invalid site is created. 

Can you do that? I'll offer what email assistance I can, but until we
have enough detail to reproduce here, that's all I can offer. I'm
obviously keen to get this bug fixed...

Your email and my 'Diagnosis of setup crash' one crossed. In that, I came to the
same conclusion of zero-length pkgsource.sites[n]->key values being the problem.

Here is a section from that email of mine:
| The site objects with a key of "" are created somewhere
| in the yacc/lex stuff (of which I know nothing) based upon the mirror value
| produced in IniParseFindVisitor::visitFile(). Changing < mirror = String (); >
| to < mirror = String ("."); > on line 69 of IniParseFindVisitor.cc eliminates
| the crash.

I'd also like to add - the empty keys are directly related to having a setup.ini
in the root dir of the package directory - just as having
<pkgdir>/misc/setup.ini causes sites with key 'misc' to be created.

Hopefully, that will mean something to you. If not, I guess its time for me to
learn about yyparse() and friends :-).

Sure, I understand that you cannot debug a bug that you can't reproduce.
But, if you copy the setup.ini from any mirror-site-named directory up 1
directory to the root of the local package dir, does that not reproduce the bug?

> I'm obviously keen to get this bug fixed...

Me too, but the key of "." as suggested in my other mail seems to work.

Yes :}. I didn't correctly fix in back in may, String() == String (0);
:[.

Hm. I thought they might be related to the 'download incomplete' message
for some reason. Ah well.

Anyway, I've corrected my incorrect fix.

I confirm this bug is squished in cvs.
