Subject: debootstrap: downgrading 'filetutils' to Sarge version fixes it for me Followup-For: Bug #314858 Package: debootstrap Version: 0.3.1.4
Having made some more tests, I noticed that I can use the unstable versions of 'debootstrap' and 'pbuilder' just fine, as long as the version of 'findutils' (which provides 'xargs') is the one from Sarge. Upgrading 'findutils' to the one currently in Etch produces the afforementioned "xargs: rm: Argument list too long" error. >From my perspective, it seems that this triple-merged bug is in fact two >different problems: 1) the buildd variant indeed fails for Etch, because we miss a /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/etch.buildd 2) the "xargs: rm: Argument list too long" error reported by other people is because the 'xargs' in 'findutils' newer than Sarge appears broken. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (99, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-imac Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages debootstrap depends on: ii binutils 2.15-7 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii wget 1.10-1 retrieves files from the web debootstrap recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
