pbuilder create fails on debootstrap
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 !

It may or may not be related, but there's a thread in -devel atm about pbuilder being broken for unstable chroots. Try explicitly specifying either stable or testing. If you want sid, the recommended approach is to start with testing then update it to sid. -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ FD35 0B0A C6DD 5D91 DB7A 83D1 168B 4E71 7032 F238 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Try explicitly specifying either stable or testing. If you want sid, the recommended approach is to start with testing then update it to sid. AFAICT that thread is unrelated. I want sarge/stable. I tried specifying stable just now, but that results in an error: E: No such script: /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/stable.buildd In that directory are only files with sarge, woody, etcetera. I'll stick to sarge then.

Missed the fact that you were trying to build stable at first even though it was clearly stated in your first email. In looking closer at your first email, I noticed you set: APTCONFDIR=/etc/apt/ in your .pbuilderrc file ... which means the apt sources will be copied from your setup. The default is to leave this blank. Do you have anything unordinary in your sources.list?

I am inclined to think that the comment someone else made further up in the thread about the APTCONFDIR setting was right. Make sure that there is not a base.tgz alread there, remove or comment out the APTCONFDIR variable and try it again. Also, make sure that you are running at least pbuilder version 0.128. When I was on IRC a few days ago, Junichi (the developer/maintainer of pbuilder) said that it was really necessary to upgrade as there were problems with the older versions. Personally, I have version 0.128 and was able to create a new pbuilder chroot just now with a configuration that is functionally the same as yours. -Roberto -- Roberto C.

Since my system is sarge and the base.tgz I want to create is also sarge I am hoping that I can just do that with the pbuilder that comes with sarge, which is 0.123... Meanwhile I notice a bug report called pbuilder: cannot build sarge basetgz: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=316135. That's for version 0.127, but might help me too. My /var partition is mounted nodev.
