Hello! As part of creating the new bazel-bootstrap we have run into a
bug fixed upstream in 1.30 https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/21213 but
we woudl like to not have to wait for abseil to pass the NEW queue.

Attached is a cherry-picked patch from upstream that fixes the issue. If
you could accept it and release 1.26.0-4 with it, then that would be
very appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
 Tried not to bark into abseil packaging anymore, but I think we
should move forward. It was already checked by FTP Masters and got
rejected. Benjamin fixed that issue and uploaded it. Then again weeks
passed. :(
Please FTP Masters re-check abseil and accept it to the archives if
everything is in order this time.

Thanks,
Laszlo/GCS

 It has been accepted to the archives, but will fail to build all over
in experimental. Reason is simple, Sid has GCC 9.3.0 while
experimental has GCC 10.1.0 causing library symbol difference.
Benjamin, please upload abseil to Sid when you have time.

Thanks,
Laszlo/GCS

I just did so. I've successfully built it on all official architectures
manually, so I don't expect any build failures, but I'll keep an eye on
the builders nonetheless.

 Thanks. Most builds came in and failed with symbols difference.
Except m68k where the pthreads library can't be found to link with.

I’ve just reuploaded Abseil with an shlibs file instead of a symbols
file. The symbols file doesn’t buy us a whole lot anyway, since Abseil
is going to break ABI with every release.

 It worked, builds are correct this time. Just uploaded gRPC 1.30.2 to
unstable now.
@Michael: Please test it and report back if it still hangs for you and
/ or any other patch you need applied.

Hello László,

I can confirm the fix. You could add the following as an autopkg test:

dependencies: libprotobuf-dev pkg-config protobuf-compiler-grpc
protobuf-compiler libgrpc-dev libgrpc++-dev

$ cd /examples/cpp/helloworld
$ make
$ ./greeter_server & ./greeter_client
# Server listening on 0.0.0.0:50051
Greeter received: Hello world


Thanks!

Hi! Is there any resolution of this issue? As far as I understand, the
version in stable is still 1.26.0-3 which does not include the fix for this
problem and I don't know when unstable becomes stable.

Is there any intention to update the stable package so that it has the
proposed fix?

Kind regards,
Kirill Bobyrev
