collectd-dnsmasq: compiling/installing fails on latest openwrt master

[PolynomialDivision]

I wanted to use the firmware-packages repro with current OpenWrt master.
This include does not work:

https://github.com/freifunk-berlin/firmware-packages/blob/master/addons/collectd-addons/files/collectd-dnsmasq/postinst.sh#L3

cp -fpR /home/nick/openwrt/build_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/root-ath79 /home/nick/openwrt/build_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/root.orig-ath79
/home/nick/openwrt/build_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/root-ath79/tmp/collectd-dnsmasq-addon_postinst.sh: line 3: /lib/functions.sh: No such file or directory
postinst script ./usr/lib/opkg/info/collectd-dnsmasq-addon.postinst has failed with exit code 1

Could we maybe enable the issues in the firmware-packages repro? I think that would be better. :)

Edit:
This happens for every package in the make package/install part, that includes /lib/functions.sh.

Can you open an separate issue for this? I also like the idea, but remember some others argumented against.

I assume you see this problem with the imagebuilder, right?

Yep. Sry, I should add information how to reproduce.

Adding into Openwrt master with commit ef9cee49807a360c99abfc2bbf0ab873619d6f11

src-git freifunk https://github.com/freifunk/openwrt-packages.git
src-git freifunkberlin https://github.com/freifunk-berlin/firmware-packages.git

into feeds.conf and select the packages, e.g. collectd-dnsmasq-addon.

To see the error just do make package/install -j1 V=s

Has the berlin freifunk image builder a special openwrt install part?

I don't understand the issue, since
Installing base-files (222-r13587-ef9cee4980) to root...
should include the functions.sh part.

Since some time the imagebuilder runs th postinst automatically (see relating issues: freifunk/openwrt-packages#10, openwrt/luci#1635 (comment)) and in this script we seem to have an absolute path which will run on the build-host file-system.

So actually we need to find a way to disable them on build process? Or just removing like u did with policy routing?

[PolynomialDivision]

We could place some condition in the script like

[ "$ACTION" = ifup ] || exit 0
. /lib/functions.sh

https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/master/net/chrony/files/chrony.hotplug#L19-L22

Or something like checking if the functions.sh is existing.

[SvenRoederer]

it depends on how they are written.
When they call a uci-default script it can be dropped, when running an other specialized script it should probably only executed when running on real hardware.
For reference see freifunk-berlin/firmware-packages#199 which deals a very similar issue and has a comment to the relating OpenWrt-commit.

[PolynomialDivision]

Can we maybe just add some

if [ ! -f "/lib/functions.sh" ]; then
  exit 0
fi

as workaround, so the packages compile? Just tested the compiling and it worked! :)
For me it is important that I can use the packages to test them and I'm afraid by removing post install hookes, I could break the packages. :S

I will make a PR and then u can decide if u want to merge. ;)

[SvenRoederer]

As it's broken package (freifunk-berlin/firmware-packages#205 (comment)) I'm fine with keeping this issue open, as reminder or hint ...
