Package: dfsbuild
Version: 0.6.19
Severity: important
Hi,
Following my experiments with dfsbuild I have found it to be failing
on powerpc arch with the included minimal configuration.
It fails similarly on sarge and sid on powerpc arch while it works on
i386.
...
P: Configuring package passwd
P: Configuring package sysvinit
P: Configuring package bash
P: Configuring package modutils
E: Couldn't install root!
Fatal error: exception Shell.Subprocess_error(_, 0)
while on i386 :
...
P: Configuring package passwd
P: Configuring package sysvinit
P: Configuring package bash
P: Configuring package modutils
P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-diverts
P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-makedev
P: Unpacking package apt
P: Configuring package apt
...
Am I missing something? I hope it is not related to the kernels I am
using.
Thanks for your work and best regards,
Frederic Lehobey

Description:
dfsbuild - Build Debian From Scratch CD/DVD images
Closes: 288637 307334 314815 316420 320991 356572 358944
Changes:
dfsbuild (0.99.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Complete rewrite in Haskell. Many new features from this.
Closes: #358944, which pertained to OCaml code.
* New debug/verbose mode
* Switch from apt-move to reprepro for package caches.
Closes: #320991, #314815.
* No longer removes existing working directory by default.
Closes: #307334.
* dfsbuild still uses bash, but since bash is Essential,
no longer depends upon it. Closes: #356572, #316420.
* Generated images now support udev instead of hotplug.
* Dies quickly if not running as root. Closes: #288637.
* Automatically detects CD devices from sysfs.
So DFS now requires a 2.6 kernel.
The devices option in the config file is now obsolete.
* dfsbuild now saves state, so if it dies partway through,
the problem can be fixed and the build continued.
