Public bug reported:
Using precise, multistrap and live-build to build Linaro images, we have noted the following bug in base-files. In debian/postinst.in on line 26 we have 26 migrate_directory() { 27 if [ ! -L $1 ]; then 28 rmdir $1 29 ln -s $2 $1 30 fi 31 } Note that due to multistrap later on in this same file line 55, will fail cause when the dpkg --configure -a step happens /var/run already exists and is not certain to be empty causing rmdir to fail.. 54 install_directory run/lock 1777 root 55 migrate_directory /var/run /run The directory as part of the configure step can be safely blow away. Thus the fix recommended is : 26 migrate_directory() { 27 if [ ! -L $1 ]; then 28 rm -rf $1 29 ln -s $2 $1 30 fi 31 } Please apply. ** Affects: base-files (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: insserv (Ubuntu) => base-files (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/942940 Title: precise base-files /var/run migrate_dir fails on pkg configure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/942940/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
