Bug#1036023: cabal-install: cabal install fails on i686: fdTryLock: invalid argument (Invalid argument)

[Uroš Knupleš]

Package: cabal-install
Version: 3.4.1.0-3
Severity: important

Hi,

I'm experiencing a persistent issue with the 'cabal install' on an i686. 

Regardless of the package I attempt to install, the command consistently fails with the error: fdTryLock: invalid argument (Invalid argument).

Here is a typical example of the error occurring when trying to install the 'hello' package:

$ cabal install hello
Resolving dependencies...
Build profile: -w ghc-9.0.2 -O1
In order, the following will be built (use -v for more details):
 - hello-1.0.0.2 (exe:hello) (requires download & build)
Downloading  hello-1.0.0.2
Downloaded   hello-1.0.0.2
Starting     hello-1.0.0.2 (all, legacy fallback)
Building     hello-1.0.0.2 (all, legacy fallback)
Installing   hello-1.0.0.2 (all, legacy fallback)
cabal: Failed to build hello-1.0.0.2. The failure occurred during the final
install step. The exception was:
fdTryLock: invalid argument (Invalid argument)

For the moment, I am able to work around the issue by using the upstream build, which does not seem to produce this error. 

However, I would prefer to use the Debian packaged version.

Greetings,
Uros
