sync: failed to verify dependency graph #1228
Description
Hello !
When trying to install gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin with:
aur sync -C -S -d <my_repo> gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin
I get:
==> Retrieving package files
Cloning into 'gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin'...

sync: failed to verify dependency graph
If I execute plain makepkg over the generated by aurutils directory everything goes ok and I can include the package generated on <my_repo> repository to then install it.
I'm currently using aurutils version 20.5.6-1 from AUR.
If I provide the extra argument --no-graph to the aur sync command above then it just succeeds.
I found that by reading:
/usr/lib/aurutils/aur-sync
And with man aur-sync I see:
--nograph, --no-graph
Do not verify the AUR dependency graph with aur-graph(1).
Whether this is failing generating a proper jsonl:
# Build AUR dependency graph
if [[ -s $tmp/argv ]]; then
# shellcheck disable=SC2094
aur depends --jsonl "${depends_args[@]}" - <"$tmp"/argv >"$tmp"/depends.jsonl
else
printf >&2 '%s: there is nothing to do\n' "$argv0"
exit
fi
Or this is failing:
# Filter out targets determined in the steps above recursively (#1136, #1140)
aur sync--filter -p "$tmp"/depends.jsonl -f "$tmp"/filter >"$tmp"/graph
Or perhaps this:
# XXX: a flat file is needed for aur-{graph,fetch,view}. `ninja` requires the
# build files to be present before dependency resolution (with `ninja -n`) can
# occur, and `ninja -t targets` sorts in alphabetical order. This implies
# that dependency cycles cannot be resolved before retrieving files with
# aur-fetch with `ninja` alone. `tsort` could either be used in this case (with
# a less nice diagnostic on cycles), or fetches done in an arbitrary order
# (e.g. sort -u) with checks for cycles done at build-time.
if ! tsort <"$tmp"/graph >"$tmp"/queue; then
diag_depcycle
exit 22
fi
But I haven't explored it yet.
Thanks !
