Package: mmdebstrap Version: 1.2.3-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: wontfix mmdebstrap fails to bootstrap Debian jessie. When running systemd.postinst (before libpam-runtime.postinst), it faces:
| chfn: PAM: Critical error - immediate abort | adduser: `/usr/bin/chfn -f systemd Time Synchronization systemd-timesync Since libpam-runtime.postinst hasn't run, pam-auth-update hasn't run and thus /etc/pam.d/common-auth is missing. PAM doesn't like that when initialized through chfn. A workaround for this issue is: --extract-hook='chroot "$1" pam-auth-update --package --force' The main purpose of this bug is documenting the issue for others. I don't think adding such logic to mmdebstrap is appropriate. It is something that people invoking it will have to add. Helmut
