Package: base-files
Version: 6.0squeeze2
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm not sure what changed but today when I tried to create a chroot
cdebootstrap gave the following error:
....
O: Setting up base-files (6.0squeeze2) ...
P: Configuring package base-files
O: chown: invalid user: `root:root'
O: dpkg: error processing base-files (--configure):
O: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
O: Setting up libc-bin (2.11.2-10) ...
P: Configuring package libc-bin
O: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of bash:
O: bash depends on base-files (>= 2.1.12); however:
O: Package base-files is not configured yet.
O: dpkg: error processing bash (--configure):
O: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
....
O: Setting up base-passwd (3.5.22) ...
P: Configuring package base-passwd
....
O: Errors were encountered while processing:
O: base-files
O: bash
E: Internal error: install
As far as I can tell the problem is that there is no /etc/passwd until
base-passwd postinst runs and creates one. So until base-passwd is
configured you can't use symbolic names in chown.
It looks to me like base-files should have a Depends: base-passwd to
ensure the corect ordering when configuring. But I have no idea why
that shows up now all of a sudden.
