error: failed to wait on curl `Multi` #11435

mrusme · 2022-11-28T17:53:08Z

When trying to build a project on OpenBSD 7.2 (-current) I'm running into the following error:

$ cargo build --release --verbose
error: failed to wait on curl `Multi`

Caused by:
  Unrecoverable error in select/poll

I tracked down the source of this error:

cargo/src/cargo/core/package.rs

Line 1014 in a2ea66b

.with_context(|| "failed to wait on curl `Multi`")?;

However, I do not understand why this is happening. I've also run the command with ktrace and skimmed over the attached ktrace.out using kdump -f ktrace.out | less, however I can't see an obvious issue in there either.

I'd appreciate hints!

$ cargo --version
cargo 1.65.0
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.65.0

ktrace.out.gz

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Something that might be worth pointing out, however I can't tell whether that has something to do with the error:

//edit: I've just tried cargo install gitui and it worked flawlessly. It was able to download all dependencies and compile the binary. So it seem like a very specific issue here.

The thing I was trying to build using cargo build --release was lemmy. I first tried cargo install lemmy_server --locked, as suggested in their manual, but I also ran into this issue. Hence I gave git clone and cargo build a go.

ehuss · 2022-12-11T20:43:55Z

Can you say more about how you installed rust/cargo? Can you provide the output of cargo -Vv? It looks like it may be using the system-installed libcurl. Cargo can be a little finicky if it is not using its vendored libraries. Which version of libcurl do you have installed?

neezer · 2022-12-31T22:24:25Z

I'm encountering a similar issue, also on OpenBSD 7.2, though I'm trying to install a different package: cargo-binstall (also with helix-editor)

Output of cargo -Vv:

cargo 1.63.0
release: 1.63.0
host: x86_64-unknown-openbsd
libgit2: 1.4.2 (sys:0.14.2 vendored)
libcurl: 7.87.0 (sys:0.4.55+curl-7.83.1 system ssl:LibreSSL/3.6.0)
os: Unknown [unknown bitness]

Cargo was installed by installing rust via pkg_add: I installed the package rust-1.63.0p0.

Think you're right about using the system curl--how do I tell cargo otherwise?

neezer · 2022-12-31T22:42:06Z

Like @mrusme I'm also seeing this error in the build artifacts:

error: `-Csplit-debuginfo` is unstable on this platform

Seems like this might be related: #11347

Unlike @mrusme attempting cargo install gitui gives me the same error and does not successfully install.

mrusme · 2023-01-11T23:54:16Z

Can you say more about how you installed rust/cargo?

I tried in multiple ways but the one that imho should have worked was by simply installing pkg_add rust on a -current system.

I might be wise to try the same command a couples of time before thinking about which context it happens, as it might very much be luck when running in one context, and not another.

osc86 · 2023-08-24T12:53:26Z

same problem here, using openbsd 7.3. funny thing is, it works with the first user created, not with root, not with any other 'normal' user. like its locked to uid 1000 or smth.

renatoaguiar · 2023-09-29T00:41:19Z

Increasing the number of file descriptors, e.g. ulimit -n 1024, fixed it for me.

mrusme · 2024-02-02T22:57:29Z

I can confirm that on OpenBSD 7.4 this issue can be avoided by setting ulimit -n 1024, as @renatoaguiar said. Thank you kindly!

Feel free to either leave this issue open, in case you believe that cargo should output a hint about raising the ulimit. Otherwise feel free to close it. Thanks!

weihanglo · 2024-02-03T16:35:46Z

Thanks for the update!

I wonder if it still happens with the latest Cargo (nightly or 1.75.0). If yes, we may leave this open until we find the root cause of this :)

Sir-Photch · 2024-04-01T10:53:44Z

This is also happening to me on 7.5-current. It is also the file descriptor limit in my case.

madelinehebert · 2024-09-26T19:57:25Z

ulimit -n 1024 is still working as a fix with Rust 1.76 on OpenBSD 7.5 under SPARC64
