Package: coreutils Version: 8.32-4 Tags: patch User: debian-d...@lists.debian.org Usertags: dpkg-root-support
We're working on a way to install packages into a chroot without actually using the chroot system call. A consequence of doing so is that maintainer scripts are run outside the chroot and are supposed to still operate on the chroot whose location is communicated via the DPKG_ROOT environment variable. coreutils contains two maintainer scripts that manage the /usr/bin/touch symlink. These need to be adapted to work with the mode depicted above. Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/Spec/InstallBootstrap for more details. Please consider applying the attached patch (post bullseye). Helmut
