Build Details

Category	Details
Build System	melange
Failure Point	patch step - applying GHSA-5rjg-fvgr-3xxf.patch to requirements/download-deps/bootstrap-win-lock.txt

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The patch file GHSA-5rjg-fvgr-3xxf.patch failed to apply cleanly to the target file requirements/download-deps/bootstrap-win-lock.txt. The patch expected to find certain content at line 14 but the actual file content at that location didn't match what the patch was expecting, causing the hunk to fail. This is typically due to the source code having changed since the patch was created, making the patch incompatible with the current version of the file.

Analysis

Based on the similar fixed build failures, I observe three consistent patterns: 1) Patches become incompatible when package versions are updated but patches remain unchanged, 2) The primary solution is to update to a newer upstream version that includes the security fixes the patch was meant to provide, and 3) When patches fail to apply, they should be removed along with version updates. All three examples show that failed patches were resolved by bumping the package version and removing the incompatible patch files.

Explanation

This fix should work because it follows the exact same pattern used successfully in all three similar cases. The GHSA-5rjg-fvgr-3xxf.patch is failing to apply because it was created for an older version of aws-cli, but the current version 2.28.3 has different file content at the target location. By updating to a newer version (2.30.3 or latest available), we get the security fixes that the patch was meant to provide, eliminating the need for the patch entirely. The AWS CLI project regularly releases updates that include security fixes, so a newer version should contain the fix for GHSA-5rjg-fvgr-3xxf. This approach is safer than trying to recreate the patch because it relies on upstream's official fix rather than a potentially outdated patch file.

Alternative Approaches

• Update the patch file itself by regenerating it against the current version 2.28.3, though this requires manual inspection of the security vulnerability and creating a new patch
• Use a conditional patch application that skips if the target content has already been modified, though this is less reliable
• Examine the specific GHSA-5rjg-fvgr-3xxf vulnerability and manually apply the fix directly in the melange pipeline without using a patch file
