Hello everyone, I am playing around with Roberto Sanchez's Debian Package Customization HOWTO on http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto/?page=debcustomize. This is failing for me at the first step already: pbuilder create.
To capture the output I used the following line: sudo pbuilder create > output.std 2> output.err This results in almost as much error output as normal output, which isn't too comforting: $ wc -l output.* 626 output.err 760 output.std output.err: ------------------- dpkg: base-passwd: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you request: base-passwd depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4); however: Package libc6 is not installed. dpkg: base-files: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you request: base-files depends on awk; however: Package awk is not installed. /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.postinst: line 8: /dev/null: Permission denied /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.postinst: line 9: /dev/null: Permission denied (...) dpkg: libc6: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you request: libc6 depends on libdb1-compat; however: Package libdb1-compat is not installed. /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst: line 97: /dev/null: Permission denied /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst: line 99: /dev/null: Permission denied /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst: line 1: /dev/null: Permission denied /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst: line 1: /dev/null: Permission denied (...) dpkg: warning - ignoring pre-dependency problem !

Unpacking replacement zlib1g ... -> Aborting with an error -> cleaning the build env -> removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build//14648 and its subdirectories After all is done I am left with just the two files mentioned and nothing else, so it doesn't quite work for me. My system is sarge and the system I try to let pbuilder create is also sarge. The uncommented lines from /etc/pbuilderrc are: BASETGZ=/var/cache/pbuilder/base.tgz BUILDPLACE=/var/cache/pbuilder/build/ MIRRORSITE=ftp://download.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/debian/ USEPROC=yes USEDEVPTS=yes USEDEVFS=no BUILDRESULT=/var/cache/pbuilder/result/ DISTRIBUTION=sarge APTCACHE="/var/cache/pbuilder/aptcache/" APTCACHEHARDLINK="yes" REMOVEPACKAGES="lilo" HOOKDIR="" export DEBIAN_FRONTEND="noninteractive" DEBEMAIL="Maurits van Rees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" BUILDSOURCEROOTCMD="fakeroot" PBUILDERROOTCMD="sudo" DEBBUILDOPTS="-mMaurits van Rees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" APTCONFDIR="/etc/apt/" BUILDUSERID=1234 DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS[0]='--variant=buildd' I tried this a while ago as well, tried some different settings, tried as root, tried adding ~/.pbuilderrc, tried adding "--extrapackages libc6 awk dselect libdb1-compat" to the command line, as pbuilder complained about these packages, but the output indicated that they were being installed even without that addition. Is there something wrong with the /dev that is being build? I tried adding BINDMOUNTS="/dev" but that didn't work out. What could be wrong?
