Some distributions already backported the first commit, but still lack the second one. This is the case for Debian Buster. The linux-libc-dev package contains the Linux kernel headers. Kernel commit d5767057c9a has been backported in package commit 1fb0eb7956 "Update to 4.19.116" [3], see debian/changelog: +linux (4.19.116-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium ... + - uapi: rename ext2_swab() to swab() and share globally in swab.h The previous released update before it is debian/4.19.98-1, released as debian/4.19.98-1+deb10u1. We can find this package in the Debian snapshot archives, luckily archived on 2020-04-28 21:20:54 (see [4]). QEMU use Debian based Docker images for most of its cross-builds, which are tested by our Shippable CI jobs. The current broken package makes most of our CI red. We can kludge this by using the latest package released before the breakage. Do so by pinning the package version (apt hold), and using the snapshot archives, similar to commit b4048a7cd1. We'll revert once the fix is backported on Debian.May as well mention: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=960271Sure (I remembered you talked about it on IRC, but was lazy to dig).Reference to commits: [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d5767057c9a [2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=467d12f5c78 [3] https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/1fb0eb7956 [4] http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux/4.19.98-1%2Bdeb10u1/#linux-libc-dev_4.19.98-1:2b:deb10u1 Cc: Salvatore Bonaccorso <address@hidden> Cc: Christian Borntraeger <address@hidden> Signed-off-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <address@hidden> --- Shippable green again: https://app.shippable.com/github/philmd/qemu/runs/759/summary/console --- tests/docker/dockerfiles/debian10.docker | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) diff --git a/tests/docker/dockerfiles/debian10.docker b/tests/docker/dockerfiles/debian10.docker index 0769700a41..d7084ac283 100644 --- a/tests/docker/dockerfiles/debian10.docker +++ b/tests/docker/dockerfiles/debian10.docker @@ -9,6 +9,15 @@ # FROM debian:buster-slim + # Use a snapshot known to work (see http://snapshot.debian.org/#Usage) +ENV DEBIAN_SNAPSHOT_DATE "20200428T212054Z" +RUN sed -i \ + "s%^deb \(https\?://\)deb.debian.org/debian/\? \(.*\)%deb [check-valid-until=no] \1snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/${DEBIAN_SNAPSHOT_DATE} \2%" \ + /etc/apt/sources.list +RUN sed -i \ + "s%^deb \(https\?://\)security.debian.org/debian-security/\? \(.*\)%deb [check-valid-until=no] \1snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/${DEBIAN_SNAPSHOT_DATE} \2%" \ + /etc/apt/sources.list + # Duplicate deb line as deb-src RUN cat /etc/apt/sources.list | sed "s/^deb\ /deb-src /" >> /etc/apt/sources.list @@ -35,4 +44,11 @@ RUN apt update && \ texinfo \ $(apt-get -s build-dep qemu | egrep ^Inst | fgrep '[all]' | cut -d\ -f2) +# Install common build utilities +RUN apt update && \ + DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive eatmydata \ + apt install -y --allow-downgrades \ + linux-libc-dev=4.19.98-1+deb10u1 && \ + apt-mark hold linux-libc-dev +Do we need this bit? Surely if we have a snapshot URL we don't need to hold the package as it will never get updated?You are right, it is a remnant from the first approach (pin it without using snapshot) which didn't work. I'll remove this line and the comment in description.Hmm it seems this is needed - without it I see other failures: https://app.shippable.com/github/stsquad/qemu/runs/1377/8/console
Sorry I haven't updated this thread.I did the requested change, but then the snapshot server went down, so I couldn't finish testing. My impression is that when 2 different versions are available (which happens in this snapshot date) apt will install the more recent. I couldn't find other snapshot dates with at least 4.19.98-1+deb10u1 and at most 4.19.98-1+deb10u1. Only this date but with 2 versions, so pinning is unfortunately required.
