Smoke test failing due to missing library on test-docker-sles12-s390x-1

JDK8 s390x Linux smoke test is failing on test-docker-sles12-s390x-1 due to a missing library

@Haroon-Khel I believe this is the machine that was removed this week under #3022 - it was one of the old machines that were replaced as part of #2673 but was seemingly left live (To be honest I'm amazed it was still there...)
If this works on the other SLES12 systems (may need to be temporarily re-enabled) then we can consider this to not be a problem.

[Haroon-Khel]

Are you sure? The one removed in #3022 is test-marist, this is test-docker which is a static docker container hosted on dockerhost-marist-ubuntu2204-s390x-1

[sxa]

Yes you're right - ignore me I'm talking nonsense ;-)

[sxa]

That's going to need the symlink from libffi 4 to 6 that I think we put in place in the playbooks but I guess isn't in the static docker files.

[Haroon-Khel]

Made the link, running a smoke test on the machine https://ci.adoptium.net/job/build-scripts/job/jobs/job/jdk8u/job/jdk8u-linux-s390x-temurin_SmokeTests/182/console

[Haroon-Khel]

Looks good. Will add the solution to the Sles 12 dockerfile. Thanks

@Haroon-Khel - Could you please apply the fix to test-docker-sles15-s390x-1? Appears to be the same issue. Link.

made the link from libffi.so.6 to libffi.so.7 as 4 is not present
/usr/lib64/libffi.so.6 -> libffi.so.7

rebuilt job

[adamfarley]

Thanks Haroon! 😃

[sxa]

Please ensure this is added to the SLES15 dockerstatic image - unusual not to have awk installed by default but if it's not on SLES we should have it in the dockerfile.

@adamfarley Ref the original problem with libffi - was that only occurring on JDK8 on this machine (i.e. the one we're switching off)?

[adamfarley]

It was only seen on JDK8, yes.

However, I did a search, and it appears that (other than the JDK21 run that failed with the awk issue) no other smoke tests ever ran on test-docker-sles15-s390x-1 (passed or failed).

[adamfarley]

Assuming you mean my original issue there. The one on test-docker-sles15-s390x-1.

The original problem for which this issue was raised was Haroon's issue on test-docker-sles12-s390x-1, which has had three recent smoke test runs on non-JDK8 Temurin builds, and they all passed.

[Haroon-Khel]

Can be closed since #3109 is merged
