Is the Brew upgrade of curl leading to segmentation fault in Julia package install/update? #2749

The error message isn't in your post. Can you try rebuilding Julia to see if that fixes things? You can do this with Note that this will take a little bit of time (~20 minutes or so). |

Thank you very much for the suggestion. I tried to reinstall it as you suggested and got an error in the installation, "Generating REPL precompile statements... 26/36ERROR: LoadError: IOError: stream is closed or unusable." Then I uninstalled Julia and then installed it as a cask instead of a formula. That seems to have solved the problem. Thank you. |

Thanks; I've opened Homebrew/homebrew-core#92799 as a temporary fix for these issues until I'm able to dig into what's happening here. |

Thanks, and installing Julia from the binaries directly from Julia fixes the problem. |

Not sure if much help but I have a similar issue: I followed Julia tutorial and installed Julia by downloading it. I did brew upgrade too but because there was already some issues with installation.. Error from the Atom editor with uber-juno. atm I followed the suggested command.. it asked to reinstall xcode as it was out of date.. |

Looks like the same issue to me. Should be fixed by Homebrew/homebrew-core#92799 too, if it is. |

I've merged the fix. If you're still using the formula: Let me know if you still have issues with it. |

Yes, the fix works for me! I am now able to update and install packages on Julia without getting any segmentation faults. Thank you very much for looking into the matter for us. |

Great; glad it works for you. Apologies for the breakage. This really should've been caught by CI. Now it will be. |

Hello - I am one of the Julia maintainers. Thank you for the quick fix and for maintaining the Julia package. We noticed that homebrew ships a formula as well as a cask. In general, we request all distributions to ship the official binaries the Julia project provides. If it were possible, we would recommend shipping only the cask going forward. We take a lot of care to build the official binaries, and distributing those reduces the likelihood of users running into issues, as well as package maintainer burden. |

Hi Viral, thanks for stopping by. I'm aware of how extensive your testing is of the your official binaries. However, you also have slightly different priorities when packaging them. For example, you still ship a version of MbedTLS that is subject to three high-severity security advisories [1, 2, 3], with the third being a CVE. The Julia formula is built against MbedTLS 2.28, so is not subject to those vulnerabilities. I did report this issue to the Julia repo, but it seems progress has stalled on this front. See also JuliaLang/julia#43677. In light of this, it seems to me much more useful to users to have a choice in which package they install depending on what they prioritise. We do go out of our way to make sure that users don't mistakenly install the formula when they intended to install the cask: We also pass You can also see this above when [1] https://tls.mbed.org/tech-updates/security-advisories/mbedtls-security-advisory-2021-07-1 |

See also: https://docs.brew.sh/How-to-Create-and-Maintain-a-Tap If you want more control over the way people use your project, revoke the open source license. Then we have no choice but to make it a cask. |

@carlocab Thank you for the explanation. That is very useful. Out of curiosity, do you run the full julia testsuite for the formula when you build Julia? If that were possible, that would greatly improve end user experience and also reduce maintainer workload on both sides. |

@carlocab How did you apply patches to MbedTLS? We see that we need to update libgit2 and libssh2 that are compatible with mbedtls 2.28, but libssh2 has yet to release. Once we bump all these, we need to make sure our Pkg tests pass etc. So if there is a quicker or better way, that would be useful. |

Hello,
I installed Julia via Homebrew about a month ago. After successfully updating packages in Julia this morning, I upgraded the packages in Homebrew. Three Homebrew packages were upgraded, gnuplot, curl, and p11-kit. After that upgrade, I can no longer update or install packages in Julia due to a segmentation fault.
Is it possible that the error is occurring due to the upgrade of curl from 7.80.0_1 to 7.81.0 on Homebrew? Julia requires curl as a dependency. Uninstalling and reinstalling Julia and curl did not resolve the problem. I have copied the error message below.
Thank you, in advance, for your help.
Sincerely,
Sharani Roy
