Issue during build image process after manjaro-arm-tools update

[nl.smart]

Hi,

I tried to build arm image today (08/14) issue during the build process

manjaro-arm-tools update yesterday (08/13) => Slowdown in Manjaro ARM development? - #16 by nl.smart

No issue during the build process before the manjaro-arm-tools update (08/13), no issue during the build process with the last arm images I built the 08/12

qemu-user-static-binfmt is already installed…

Thanks for your help. I build manjaro arm images for years, first time I encounter this issue.

This is on x86_64 system?

As the qemu was made an optional dependency I created a check that only trigger if

• host is x86_64
• and qemu-aarch64-static not present

I am sure I checked the condition without the binary installed - but alas it is flawed - my mistake somehow.

I can see I goofed it somehow.

Edit the file /usr/share/manjaro-arm-tools/lib/functions.sh and replace lines 199-201 with

if [[ $(uname -m) == "x86_64" ]] && [[ $(command -v qemu-aarch64-static)x == "x" ]]; then
    echo "ERROR: This utility requires package 'qemu-user-static-binfmt'"
    exit 1
fi

Yes. I had the same issue on GitHub Actions runners (x86_64). The new logic is not working as it should.

[linux-aarhus]

I just realized that the =~ returns true because the qemu-aarch64-static is mentioned in the result even when it does not exist.

[rodriguezst]

I think that you can use ! which qemu-aarch64-static > /dev/null as it will return -1 when executable is not found

Something like [[ $(uname -m) == "x86_64" ]] && ! which qemu-aarch64-static > /dev/null && { echo -e "ERROR: This utility requires package 'qemu-user-static-binfmt'\n"; exit 1; } might work…

[linux-aarhus]

I don’t why - but I have mistakenly use uname -r instead of uname -m - a stupid keyboard error

This one works as I intended - my apoligies for the inconvenience

if [[ $(uname -m) == "x86_64" ]] && [[ $(command -v qemu-aarch64-static)x == "x" ]]; then
    echo "ERROR: This utility requires package 'qemu-user-static-binfmt'"
    exit 1
fi

My test (test.sh)
Move binary

 $ sudo mv /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static.bak

run script snippet (generate error message)

 $ bash test.sh
ERROR: This utility requires package 'qemu-user-static-binfmt'

move binary back

 $ sudo mv /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static.bak /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static

run test script again (no output) - binary exist

 $ bash test.sh

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I build manjaro arm images with x86_64 system

Edit 1 : I replace the lines 199-201, now the build image is running, I hope a nice image in the end of the process.

Edit 2 : the build image finished graceful, image not tested…
