Package: texlive-latex-extra Version: 2023.20240207-1 Severity: wishlist User: de...@kali.org Usertags: origin-kali
Dear Maintainer, Since the 2023.20240207-1 release, there is a major performance regression when running the tex-common postinst hook in an arm64 chroot on amd64 host. This was not the case with 2022.20230122-3. When running the hook with the 2023.20240207, this step takes around 3 hours. I'm guessing that this is related to enabling lua on aarch64 finally, but I'm not familiar at all with latex and how to get the smallest possible test case to show the issue. A way to reproduce the issue would be to install debootstrap, qemu-user-static and systemd-nspawn and then run apt-get install texlive-latex-extra On an arm64 host (VM on an original M1 Macbook Air), this is fine sudo debootstrap --arch arm64 stable stable sudo systemd-nspawn -D stable time apt-get install texlive-latex-extra -y real 1m4.121s user 0m52.893s system 0m6.116s (due to the t64 transition, testing is currentl unable to debootstrap) sudo debootstrap --arch arm64 sid sid sudo systemd-nspawn -D sid time apt-get install texlive-latex-extra -y real 1m24.647s user 1m14.897s sys 0m6.558s In the qemu emulated build however, sudo debootstrap --arch arm64 stable stable sudo systemd-nspawn -D stable time apt-get install texlive-latex-extra -y real 13m14.171s user 13m26.363s sys 0m53.424s texlive-latex-recommended: 2022.20230122-3 sudo debootstrap --arch arm64 sid sid sudo systemd-nspawn -D sid time apt-get install texlive-latex-extra -y real 181m11.687s user 181m43.534s sys 1m5.422s texlive-latex-recommended: 2023.20240207-1 So the version of latex in stable took less than 15 minutes to install, but the version in testing and unstable both take 2 1/2 hours! I did also test 2024.20240313.70630+ds-1 from experimental and it also takes the 2 1/2 hours. Currently, we are working around this by forcing our package list to not install any of the latex packages, but it would be nice to be able to have the packages installed instead of telling end users to install them manually. If you need me to do more testing or any sort of additional information, please let me know! -- steev -- System Information: Debian Release: kali-rolling APT prefers experimental APT policy: (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: arm64 (aarch64) Kernel: Linux 6.8.8 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages texlive-latex-extra depends on: pn libcommons-logging-java <none> pn libpdfbox-java <none> pn preview-latex-style <none> ii python3 3.11.6-1 pn tex-common <none> pn texlive-base <none> pn texlive-binaries <none> pn texlive-latex-recommended <none> pn texlive-pictures <none> Versions of packages texlive-latex-extra recommends: pn default-jre <none> pn libspreadsheet-parseexcel-perl <none> pn texlive-fonts-recommended <none> pn texlive-plain-generic <none> Versions of packages texlive-latex-extra suggests: pn icc-profiles <none> ii libfile-which-perl 1.27-2 ii python3-pygments 2.17.2+dfsg-1 pn texlive-latex-extra-doc <none> pn texlive-science <none>
