[x86_64] hrev52309 - Terminal/shell missing libiconv

[ahwayakchih]

After booting to desktop from Anyboot CD in VirtualBox, and trying to launch Terminal, i got message about missing libiconv.so.2 instead of bash (see attached screenshot).

It works fin on old install updated to hrev52309. Just not when booting to desktop from Anyboot CD.

Terminal broken - missing libiconv.so.2

hrev52302 seems to work ok.

can this be related to #14449?

Looks like Terminal can't start bash due to a missing lib. I wonder how it could happen as haiku package should (in)directly depend on libiconv. It shouldn't even boot, I think?

objdump -x /system/apps/Terminal | grep NEEDED

This sounds like something has a dependency misdeclared.

Please add the list of installed packages.

Live CD desktop problem on hrev52309-x86_64

[ahwayakchih]

Live CD desktop crash right after boot

[ahwayakchih]

korli: nothing added or removed. it was booted "live" from CD, so the list of packages is the same as the one on the CD. I can't list packages quickly because Terminal does not work. I can see libiconv-1.15.4-x86_64.hpkg in /boot/system/packages, but when i try to open it, HaikuDepot window shows up instead of package window. I can open other packages just fine, so i'm guessing something is wrong with libiconv package. I got lucky and got some crash on start, but it's not always the case (sometimes there is a crash, and sometimes it just boots to desktop like everything's fine, only things do not work like they should).

See attached video and crash report.

What's more, when i selected different language in installation window, before clicking on "boot to desktop" button, Terminal did not even show up libiconv error - it just remained "clean" instead (no text output at all).

Update: i mounted that CD into the working installation of Haiku and checked libiconv package:

/Haiku1/system/packages> package info libiconv-1.15-4-x86_64.hpkg 
Error: Failed to read package file "libiconv-1.15-4-x86_64.hpkg": Data read partially
/Haiku1/system/packages> package list libiconv-1.15-4-x86_64.hpkg

I see that ​https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/build-packages is 404, so the build package repository is likely broken.

There was an outage this morning that our monitoring didn't catch. It should be resolved.

(also note the trailing /, that's important if you want the index)

The iconv in the packages directory there looks fine:

libiconv-1.15-4-x86_64.hpkg                        08-Mar-2018 01:17              704559

So, not sure what's going on here. Can you try a more recent nightly? This may be a fluke.

[ahwayakchih]

I can confirm that anyboot images seem to be fixed now. Both hrev52312 and hrev52316 work fine. Tested:

• Boot to desktop and install from there
• Install directly without booting to desktop

Must have been a problem with either CDN or build server(s).

hrev52309 is still broken, so maybe it should either be rebuilt/reuploaded or removed from the downloads list?
