OK so first analysis is showing the cause of the problem: • the buildd chroots for sid/unstable do not identify themselves as sid/unstable but instead as trixie/testing, which is a bug onto itself¹ • the source package checks the buildd release codename and does things based on that; normally, the tests are written in a manner that they fall through to the latest (i.e. they test for known names of older releases for the old behaviour, and use the new behaviour if none of the old release names is used); the code to handle the long ago libjpeg62→libjpeg8→libjpeg62-turbo transition however was written the other way round, which causes trouble if the new release is unknown I’ll fix that in the source, but first I need to get the situation fixed as openjdk-8 build-depends on itself, which will be bad if it’s not installable. I’m going to change all uses of the distro codename to fall safely, however if the buildd chroot bug could be fixed, I’d be glad. bye, //mirabilos ① sid buildd chroots should save the following content… PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux sid" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" ID=debian HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/" SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/" VERSION_ID=unstable VERSION_CODENAME=sid … as /usr/lib/os-release.sid (in the chroot) and run… # dpkg-divert --rename --divert /usr/lib/os-release.dpkg-dist \ --add /usr/lib/os-release # ln -sfT os-release.sid /usr/lib/os-release … in the chroot, so the reported lsb_release is correct. They used to have this in /etc/lsb-release, but the lsb-release program no longer uses that. -- Infrastrukturexperte • tarent solutions GmbH Am Dickobskreuz 10, D-53121 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Telephon +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB AG Bonn 5168 • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg **************************************************** /⁀\ The UTF-8 Ribbon ╲ ╱ Campaign against Mit dem tarent-Newsletter nichts mehr verpassen: ╳ HTML eMail!
