Hi,
It looks like the build has been broken on Cirrus since at least 7b2c4c:
https://cirrus-ci.com/github/qemu/qemu
I did attempt to have a look but "vm-build-freebsd" seems to be failing
with a different error:

Tracking back to before the previously mentioned commit it was still
failing which makes me think something has happened to the BSD image (or
something is missing since the build changes). I'd appreciate it if
someone with more FreeBSD knowledge can look into both regressions
because frankly I find it exhausting enough tracking down Linux
regressions when they occur.
Thanks,

FWIW the vm-build-freebsd build-and-test works for me, as I
continue to run it as part of the merge tests. Is this something
to do with whether you already have a freebsd image cached
as opposed to it getting re-built from scratch (perhaps with
a newer FreeBSD)?

Yes, this is a problem with the image in Cirrus, which hit libvirt
CI too. We "fixed" it by changing to the freebsd-12-2 instead of
freebsd-12-1 image.

It did re-run the installation when I first called the target so I guess
it was that.

Python was built against a newer FreeBSD that had symbols that weren't in
12.1. Where did the python build come from?

The base image should be the same no matter what (updating that needs a
tests/vm/freebsd update which in turn triggers a rebuild). The addon
package versions may differ though, so in case a broken package enters
the freebsd package repos it may happen that old, existing vm images
continue to work whereas newly created images don't ...
Trying to rebuild the freebsd image here results in this:
[ ... ]
### Installing packages ...
Bootstrapping pkg from pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly, please wait...
Verifying signature with trusted certificate pkg.freebsd.org.2013102301... done
Installing pkg-1.16.1...
Newer FreeBSD version for package pkg:
To ignore this error set IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes
- package: 1202000 <- freebsd 12.2 expected ?
- running kernel: 1201000 <- freebsd 12.1 running ?
Ignore the mismatch and continue? [y/N]:
So it seems the freebsd 12.1 images tries to fetch 12.2 packages when
running "pkg install -y <list>", which would explain why they don't
work.
Switching to freebsd 12.2 should solve this, at least until 12.3 is
released, but I'm wondering why the freebsd pkg utility fetches
incompatible packages in the first place and whenever there is any
way to avoid this ...
take care,
Gerd

First off, sorry for the hassles this caused... The problem is a failure to
upgrade for reasons explained below... While the reasons make sense, it's
still a bit of a hassle, for which I apologize.

FreeBSD 12.1 images fetch the FreeBSD 12 packages. This works until FreeBSD
12.1 hits end of life and the packages are built on newer versions. There's
no long-term support for releases once a new minor release happens. The
economics of this quickly get out of hand as the testing matrix explodes
and the number of machines needed to support all old versions (even on
supported branches) would be prohibitively expensive.

FreeBSD builds packages on the oldest supported version in the stable
branch. Due to forward compatibility, that means all supported versions of
FreeBSD 12.x will work. Recently, FreeBSD 12.1 became unsupported, so the
build machines clicked forward to 12.2. Since there's no 'forward
compatibility' guarantees, this problem was hit. While you can run binaries
compiled on old versions of the software on new versions of the system, you
can't necessarily do the inverse because new symbols are introduced (in
this case close_range).
The base FreeBSD image should be rolled when new versions are released to
avoid this issue. tests/vm/freebsd should be updated. I have a full
morning, but if nobody has beat me to it, I'll submit a patch this
afternoon to fix this and add it to my list of things to do when FreeBSD
creates a new release.

It makes perfect sense that you don't want to support older
versions forever and that at some point newer packages aren't
valid on old systems, but I don't understand why an
older 12.1 system then says "but I'm going to go ahead and
install these won't-work packages anyway" rather than
"oh dear, I'm out of support, there are no newer packages
available, I will install whatever the last archived version
of the package for my OS version is" (or "I will install nothing").
I'm surprised this doesn't break a lot of real-world users...

That's a reasonable expectation. I'd kinda expected that to be the default,
but it looks like it might not be. I'll see if I can get the freebsd vm
updated to use something safer and/or work with the pkg folks to get it to
do the safe thing here if there's no easy way to do this with command line
/ config settings. I think the issue is that we set IGNORE_OSVERSION which
is needed for the case when we were running 12.0 packages on 12.1, but it's
harmful for this case. This highlights, I think, a rough edge in pkg.
Short term, I'll bump things up to 12.2 which will take care of the
immediate issue. I should have a patch by later in the day.... I may also
have a patch to detect the mismatch directly and report it until this issue
can be resolved in FreeBSD's pkg.
