armv7 chroot on aarch64 (at least): pkg updating itself to 1.15.10 reported lua script failure but seemed to install (when forced)

[Mark Millard]

On a aarch64 system but chroot'ed to a armv7 directory tree I got the following going from pkg 1.14.5 to 1.15.10 :

# chroot /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/clang-armv7-on-aarch64/
. . .
[1/1] Installing pkg-1.15.10...
Extracting pkg-1.15.10: 100%
pkg: Failed to execute lua script: [string "args = {}..."]:11: attempt to call a nil value (field 'stat')
pkg: lua script failed

The context has the likes of:

# ls -ldT /dev/null
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  0x19 Dec 14 20:20:03 2020 /dev/null

Despite the "failed" notices, afterwards pkg reported:

# pkg -v
1.15.10

I'm unsure what to make of this combination of things. I do not know what other types of contexts get similar results.


Context details . . .

I had used:

# pkg install -f /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/FBSDFSSDjailArmV7-default/.latest/All/pkg-1.15.10.txz

to do the above because the earlier pkg upgrade silently did not try to upgrade pkg (but did upgrade everything else, 126 packages).

For reference (in the chroot context):

# uname -apKU
FreeBSD FBSDmacch 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #47 r368500M: Thu Dec 10 03:15:10 PST 2020     root at FBSDFHUGE:/usr/obj/cortexA72_clang/arm64.aarch64/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC-NODBG  arm armv7 1300131 1300131

The aarch64 context is also at -r368500 and 13000131.

The armv7 ports were built from:

/usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/FBSDFSSDjailArmV7-default/.latest/ in the chroot is a copy of the one from the poudriere run:

# rsync -axHh --info=progress2 --delete -r /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/FBSDFSSDjailArmV7-default/.latest/* /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/FBSDFSSDjailArmV7-default/.latest/.buildname /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/clang-armv7-on-aarch64/usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/FBSDFSSDjailArmV7-default/.latest/
