Solved "pkg upgrade" outputs a lot of "indexinfo: Skipping: *.info: Capabilities insufficient"

Hello!

I performed this in a jail: # pkg upgrade python27 python36 librsvg2 gnutls (These packages are here just as examples, because this happens with any kind of package, since some time. Everything seems to work further fine, but I wonder what this is and how to fix it.)

Here's the start of the "Extracting" phase:

and it goes on and on.

The names evoke LaTeX, but as print/texlive-full had not been updated for while, I switched to using tlmgr directly. So, pkg knows nothing about my TeX Live installation. I wonder why it would have anything to do with TeX Live and even more why it would complain about it.

The "Capabilities insufficient" evoke a lack of space. But:

Also, I've tried to find out about indexinfo. print/texinfo on fresh ports says "Small utility designed to regenerate the GNU info page indexes". It seems required by a bunch of packages installed in the jail.

Any clue?

I wonder why you're getting these messages.

What does freebsd-version and pkg -v tell you?
 
Code: 
root@web0:~# pkg -v
1.14.4
root@web0:~ # freebsd-version
11.3-RELEASE-p3
root@web0:~ #

The host is up-to-date:
Code: 
# freebsd-version
11.3-RELEASE-p9

As the jail does not display the correct information, I guess I've missed a step at some point. I thought the step I'm thinking about would only concern minor upgrades of the host system, but I'm gonna check this.

Also, as you wonder about this, it reminds me that maybe I should add a detail I did not think was relevant: I think I may have had a bad upgrade strategy. I didn't dare to ask about it, but reading somewhere "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" I understood it as "As long as it works, do not upgrade". Hence, except for the security updates (reported by pkg audit and the system ones that got fixed by freebsd-update fetch and freebsd-update install), I didn't upgrade anything. Might this be the source of the problem? I am a bit afraid of upgrading everything because I fear it indeed breaks something somewhere...

That's possible but pkg(8) itself is fairly self-contained. Do you get the same errors if you use pkg-static?

Just use pkg upgrade and upgrade everything. There's always a possibility things break. Just deal with those when they happen. By only selectively updating you run the risk of getting dependencies of dependencies of dependencies (yes, this chain can get quite long) out of order. Treat the system as a whole, that will cause the least amount of problems.
 
Looking at the source code for the latest print/indexinfo, nothing indicates the openat() call that generates the error message should be failing, though print/texlive-docs seems to have its own info directory file (.../info/dir) according to its pkg-plist file, and that's likely something indexinfo might not expect as it's the only port that has one.

I would try updating print/indexinfo to see if it resolves the problem. If that doesn't work, your next step is to uninstall and/or upgrade print/texlive-docs. Other than that, I'm out of ideas. If it's just those info files from print/texlive-docs, it's almost certainly a problem with that specific package.

Yes, I've just tried in another jail (quite a clone of the first one) with a random package:

Unfortunately it's already up to date.

This one is not installed. That's weird. Or maybe there are leftovers from an old install? (I think I've installed some texlive related packages at some point, then removed them all: could that be, that some stuff has been left?). Also, I wonder if tlmgr could interfere with pkg?

According to r318747 (May 2013), print/texlive-texmf used to contain those files before the documentation was split into a separate package. If pkg list texlive-texmf | grep '\.info$' doesn't list anything, then it's safe to delete them.

Also, I wonder if tlmgr could interfere with pkg?
Click to expand...
That's possible, but it's very unlikely. tlmgr, or any other command, shouldn't ever clash with pkg.
 
I've tried to locate them:

Code: 
# find / -name "web2c.info"
/usr/local/share/info/web2c.info
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/doc/info/web2c.info
/usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/doc/info/web2c.info

I guess the ones to remove are the ones from /usr/local/share/info/, the other ones being from my Tex Live installation via tlmgr. So I'm gonna try to move them (before removing them).

Not too quick: these are actually symlinks to the 2018 TeX Live installation.

I could remove them simply via tlmgr path remove. Then the indexinfo messages seem to be gone (I've tried upgrading a few packages). The ldconfig messages are still there, though. I guess they're not related, that's two different things.

Anyway I need to have the TeX Live installation accessible by the system. Not using the symlinks automatically setup by tlmgr, I can setup some environment variables instead (as explained here). Let's see if the indexinfo messages are still gone after that...
 
memreflect said:
I thought perhaps you had enabled it for some reason, which is why I didn't mention it.
Click to expand...
Yes, I forgot it, but did it a long time ago. Thank you for that!

As to the TeX Live installation, I just need to set the environment variables (as detailed in the link of my previous post) and not use the automatic symlinks. As some other config files did point to binaries I needed in /usr/local/bin/, I added the missing symlinks myself, and it works.

So, as I do not need the /usr/local/share/info/*.info files that are installed by tlmgr's auto-symlinking feature, and as they seem to disturb the pkg operations (not too much but these messages floods are annoying), I keep them removed. I guess that's solved.
