Followed your instructions and dumped the output of "sudo cowbuilder
--create --distribution squeeze" into a pastebin [1]. The only
difference seems to be that the "E: debootstrap failed" line no longer
appears; however, there's no trace of a "base.cow", so I'm not sure
how I'm supposed to look for logs...

Hmpf.

Can you patch /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-createbuildenv (why
is there shell scripts in /usr/lib ipv /usr/share anyway?)
and add a 'echo foo; read dummy' before the line
log "E: $DEBOOTSTRAP failed"
(line 69 here), re-run it, then look in /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow
for logs (probably in debootstrap/ but there may be others)?

The final solution could be that I give you a squeeze base.tgz? If you
need it, please ask me and tell me your architecture (i386 or amd64),
then I'll give you a link privately. (I can give to other people if
you ask me, but I think it's better not to post it
publicly since it may become invalid soon.)

I already have pbuilder, debootstrap, and cdebootstrap installed from
sid. That being said, I'm running a mixed wheezy/sid system at the
moment, with wheezy being pinned to a higher priority, so perhaps
there are other packages that pbuilder/debootstrap rely on, which I
should also install from sid rather than wheezy?

pbuilder still fails to create a squeeze base.tgz with cdebootstrap.

Sorry, it was something wrong on my side, I tried to rebuild a new
base.tgz today and then it builds fine. I see the package looks good,
so I've just uploaded it.

This is caused by a recently fixed debootstrap bug IIRC, there are two
ways may help you:
1. Use the latest version of deboostrap and pbuilder from Sid.
2. Use cdeboostrap instead of debootstrap and pass "--debootstrap
cdebootstrap" to pbuilder.

I can't reproduce this in a squeeze VM, and I don't understand why
conky would FTBFS as above; nvidia-settings in squeeze contains the
header file that conky needs, and installs it in the same location
(/usr/include/NVCtrl/NVCtrl.h) as libxnvctrl-dev in sid.

I would try to build conky in a squeeze chroot instead, but pbuilder
just doesn't want to cooperate with me at the moment...

Is there an alternative way to create a working squeeze chroot?

Conky build depends on libxnvctrl-dev | nvidia-settings, so it builds
fine on Squeeze since nvidia-settings is available and contains the
headers that conky needs (I just tried building conky with a Squeeze
VM and it worked fine). As an aside, it also builds fine on Ubuntu,
where libxnvctrl-dev doesn't exist either.

libxnvctrl-dev does not exist in Squeeze, neither main nor contrib, so
this package will FTBFS on buildd, please consider fixing this and ask

RFS: conky (backported package)

2011-08-22 Thread Vincent Cheng
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my backported package "conky"; the
current version in testing fixes numerous bugs that can be found in
squeeze's version of conky.

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/conky

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/conky/conky_1.8.1-3~bpo60+1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards,
- Vincent Cheng
