[opensuse-packaging] zypper seriously mislead me
In an attempt to QA https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1161763 I thought I needed to do: # zypper -v in android-studio which is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jayvdb:/android/openSUSE_Tum... 42K Zypper reported extracted size to be 50.1K. I thought, no big deal, so I proceeded. Freespace on / when I started was 81%. Installation was taking a seriously long time for a 50K installation, so I checked with lsof to find a zip file in /opt growing to 1015M. # excerpted tail of /var/log/zypp/history 2020-01-03 14:29:10|install|frameworkintegration-plugin|5.65.0-1.1|x86_64|root@p5bse|OSS|d094dddd716eed86e157577a29cb3b54c57e5959fa382a1f19c53b5b38c685ec| 2020-01-24 22:25:10|command|root@p5bse|'zypper' 'rm' 'kernel-default-4.20.13'| 2020-01-24 22:25:34|remove |kernel-default|4.20.13-1.2|x86_64|root@p5bse| 2020-01-24 22:29:16|command|root@p5bse|'zypper' '-v' 'in' 'android-studio'| # 2020-01-24 22:42:43 android-studio-3.3.2-2.4.x86_64.rpm installed ok # Additional rpm output: # /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.bQj4UK: line 5: /tmp/apps-scripts/android-studio.txt: Nosuch file or directory # --2020-01-24 22:29:18-- https://dl.google.com/dl/android/studio/ide-zips/3.3.2.0/android-studio-ide-... # Resolving dl.google.com (dl.google.com)... 64.233.185.190, 64.233.185.93, 64.233.185.136, ... # Connecting to dl.google.com (dl.google.com)|64.233.185.190|:443... connected. # HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK # Length: 1064031415 (1015M) [application/zip] # Saving to: '/opt/android-studio-ide-182.5314842-linux.zip' # # 0K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 0% 962K 18m0s # 50K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 0% 1.84M 13m36s ... # 499500K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 48% 1.34M 6m40s # 499550K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 48% 1.47M 6m40s # [truncated] # 2020-01-24 22:42:43|install|android-studio|3.3.2-2.4|x86_64|root@p5bse|homeJayvdbAndroid|077b7bba49ae36178706c3e19e5999ada1f88493a30d6baa28417b1befafb05f|
From the description at https://software.opensuse.org/package/android-studio?search_term=android-stu... I had no clue that the android-studio rpm was merely an installer for a very much larger package. Zypper gave no clue that the post script was exhausting freespace wgetting a 1015M file that would leave insufficient space to extract its contents.
Did the android-studio packager not do something he should have done? Is there something that could be done to prevent exhausting freespace by installing a 50K rpm without any warning what was really going to result? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

I'm not sure it's zypper that mislead you here. https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:jayvdb:android/android-stu... It looks like this package runs a wget in %pre which is why the download of the rpm, doesn't match the size of the actual download. Really, I think this package probably needs some work to avoid the wget here in pre ...

Yep calling wget in pre certainly wouldn't meet openSUSE packaging standards hence why you didn't get this package from an official repo. This is just one of the reasons why you shouldn't trust packages that don't come from the official repo's. Personally I've just always installed android studio into /opt from there installer. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
