Hello Peter

Re the failing install of 'package_perl_5_18', I've investigated further now and have submitted a patch which seems to fix the problem:

https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/pull/616

Not sure if this is of any immediate help,

Best wishes

Peter

Ok, second attempt, perl install died with the same error, so I suspect
you're right about the cause. Eric?

    Thanks Peter

    I managed, on the second attempt, to get past the gnu coreutils
    problem. Zipho noticed a weird lockup though: conftest that seemed
    to be from the gnu coreutils install wanted to listen on port 4001,
    which is the same port our uwsgi server listens on. The install has
    now completed but I'll try and find time to go back and verify this.

    On the second attempt perl seems to be installing, so I'll see if it
    completes or hits the error you're mentioning.

        Hi Peter

        I think that package_perl_5_18 in the tool shed is broken, I
        came across the same error last week on both our production
        instance and a local 'test' instance (both v15.10).

        My suspicion is that the following lines are to blame:

        ...
                         <action
        sha256sum="5c69adb47ab828aa3e8b5be89b88cd49c6a0d0dae2e8b3bca17a9ce699190e7b"
        type="download_file">
        http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/A/AP/APEIRON/local-lib-1.008009.tar.gz
                         </action>
                         <action type="shell_command">tar xfvz
        local-lib-1.008009.tar.gz</action>
        ...

        Looking at the Galaxy internals I believe that the
        'download_file' action automatically unpacks the archive and
        cd's into the resulting directory, hence the failure for the
        subsequent 'tar xfvz ...' command. But I haven't had the time
        yet to verify this or create a patch to see if the removal of
        this line addresses the problem.

        I don't think I've seen the problem with
        'package_gnu_coreutils_8_22' that you describe however so it may
        be that my hypothesis is not correct.

        HTH

        Best wishes

        Peter

            Hi there Eric and others

            I tried to install the JBrowse tool on a dev branch server
            running on an
            Ubuntu 14.04 VM.

            It got stuck at the package_gnu_coreutils_8_22 dependency
            (revision
            ac64dfe4b1fb) - this ended up in "Installing tool
            dependencies" state.

            If I go look at the tool details it highlights errors
            in package_perl_5_18 which in turn refers to errors in
            gnu_coreutils
            (just "Error" state) and then this more informative failure
            for perl:

            "tar (child): local-lib-1.008009.tar.gz: Cannot open: No
            such file or
            directory
            tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
            tar: Child returned status 2
            tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now"

            I wonder if this is a sign of a download error?

            Digging a bit more I find the error "Shutting down process
            id 21094
            because it generated no output for the defined timeout
            period of 3600.0
            seconds." for gnu_coreutils.

            I'm trying to do a reinstall of the gnu_coreutils and perl
            packages to
            see if I can get further.

            Peter
