Migration to 11 won't start : "libc6-dev : Breaks: libgcc-8-dev"

Aleks · August 10, 2022, 5:14pm

We were able to make some progress with @Thatoo on the chat who encountered the same issue

I crafted a small hack that removes the dependency to build-essential from the $app-ynh-deps :

sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status /root/dpkg_status.bkp
sudo perl -i~ -0777 -pe 's/(Package: .*-ynh-deps\n(.+:.+\n)+Depends:.*)(build-essential, ?)(.*)/$1$4/g' /var/lib/dpkg/status

After which we still had to :

# (NB: READ CARREFULY what the next command says
# and make sure it doesnt remove half of the system ...)
sudo apt remove build-essential gcc-8 libgcc-8-dev

The command should display something like :

The following additional packages will be installed:
  binutils binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf binutils-common cpp cpp-10 gcc gcc-10 gcc-10-base libasan6
  libatomic1 libbinutils libcc1-0 libctf-nobfd0 libctf0 libgcc-10-dev libgcc-s1 libgomp1 libisl23
  libubsan1
Suggested packages:
  binutils-doc cpp-doc gcc-10-locales gcc-multilib flex bison gcc-doc gcc-10-doc
Recommended packages:
  libc6-dev
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gcc-8 libgcc-8-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  cpp-10 gcc-10 gcc-10-base libasan6 libctf-nobfd0 libctf0 libgcc-10-dev libgcc-s1 libisl23
The following packages will be upgraded:
  binutils binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf binutils-common cpp gcc libatomic1 libbinutils libcc1-0
  libgomp1 libubsan1

NB : if this displays MUCH MORE packages than this, this is not good. Otherwise, you may safely proceed

After which, re-running the migration should be ok

We can’t say shit because you are not sharing the output of the command that were requested, and we have no clue as to why you think vaultwarden is the culprit

I finally managed to get some spare time to check it out. I reinstalled NetData and run the commands. I get this:

Package: netdata-ynh-deps
Depends: zlib1g-dev, uuid-dev, libmnl-dev, gcc, make, git, autoconf, autoconf-archive, autogen, automake, pkg-config, curl, jq, nodejs, python3-mysqldb, libipmimonitoring-dev, acl, python3-psycopg2, python3-pymongo, libuv1-dev, liblz4-dev, libjudy-dev, libssl-dev, cmake

I hope it helps somehow.

Thanks and cheers

I am also running into this issue (libgcc-8-dev) when attempting to migrate a 4.4.x server (RasPi) to 11.x:

https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/remofuguri

Don’t seem to be getting anything concrete when running Aleks’ commands:

Here are the apps that I’m running, domain_path removed for OPSEC sake:

For anyone encountering the issue, feel free to try the commands described just a few messages before … Migration to 11 won't start - #12 by Aleks

virse · August 11, 2022, 6:16am

Hey there,

running in an issue as well. Already tried Aleks approach Migration to 11 won't start - #12 by Aleks, but didn’t
work.

Here is the log file of the migration tool: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/muziluvuyi

Any help is appreciated. If further logs are necessary please let me know.

Thanks a lot, virse

Dear Aleks,

Sorry about what you thought was irrespectful, i didn’t mean it, i was on my cellphone, no copy paste possible, and i was writing what i was reading. So now, i’am on computer, i willl.

So for : dpkg -s $(dpkg --list | grep ynh-deps | awk ‘{print $2}’) | grep ‘Package:|Depends:’ | grep ‘build|gcc|g++’ -B1

I’ve got

Package: vaultwarden-ynh-deps
Depends: build-essential, pkg-config, libssl-dev, libc6-dev

For apt policy libgcc-8-dev

libgcc-8-dev:
Installed: 8.3.0-6+rpi1

For apt policy gcc-8-base

Tell me if i can give you more,

Sincerely

After this command:

sudo apt remove build-essential gcc-8 libgcc-8-dev

I get this:

Reading package lists… Done

Aleks · August 11, 2022, 12:04pm

@lapor : hmm okay, let’s maybe try this instead (battling with apt is always a pain)

sudo apt remove build-essential
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt remove gcc-8 libgcc-8-dev

lapor · August 11, 2022, 12:24pm

Thanks.
It wants to remove some other packages:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
g++ g+±8 libstdc+±8-dev php-mysql php-tidy php7.3-tidy

Is that ok?

Aleks · August 11, 2022, 12:26pm

During which step exactly ?

lapor · August 11, 2022, 12:28pm

Sorry, I was copy/pasting too fast
After sudo apt autoremove

Aleks · August 11, 2022, 12:34pm

Ah yes apt autoremove can be trustred If it removes something then it’s really not in use anymore. You may think that “php-mysql is probably used”, but the thing is that there are other packages such as “php7.3-mysql” and the difference is quite technical

Bottom line: yes !

lapor · August 11, 2022, 12:35pm

hehe, thanks. I’ll try it now

edit: it worked. Thanks

virse · August 11, 2022, 2:08pm

Hey @Aleks,

all the provided solutions to lapor didn’t work in may case (Migration to 11 won't start - #17 by virse)

DO you have any hints for my problem as well?

Thx, virse

Aleks · August 11, 2022, 2:13pm

What works ? You mean you were able to run sudo apt remove gcc-8 libgcc-8-dev and then proceed with the migration ?

Let’s start by trying apt --fix-broken install

virse · August 11, 2022, 2:14pm

Thanks for your reply.

Aleks · August 11, 2022, 2:21pm

Hmokay so let’s try to proceed with

apt remove python3.7-venv libstdc++-8-dev

(If this doesn’t work because of the other apt headaches, let’s try dpkg --remove python3.7-venv and dpkg --remove libstdc++-8-dev instead)

Then let’s try apt install libpod-parser-perl=1.63-2 libssl1.1=1.1.1n-0+deb11u3 --dry-run
