Proposed debdiff for hardy-proposed. Tested on i386 and amd64,
debootstrapping hardy now works fine.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: fakechroot
Using fakechroot to debootstrap and work with Ubuntu had worked fine
until Gutsy. With Hardy it breaks completely, scripts fail with all
sorts of weird errors, such as rm claiming that /etc/shells.tmp does not
exist (although it does).
The reason is that Hardy's glibc and coreutils started to use the new
*at() family of system calls, such as fxstatat(), openat(), etc., but
fakechroot does not handle them at all. Thus paths are not converted to
the fakechroot environment.
TEST CASE:
sudo apt-get install fakechroot fakeroot
mkdir /tmp/c
cd /tmp/c
mkdir bin lib
cp /lib/*.so lib
cp /bin/{bash,cp,rm,mkdir,echo,ls} bin
fakeroot fakechroot chroot /tmp/c
Now try some commands in the chroot and see how many break with absolute path
names:
$ mkdir /test
$ echo hello > /test/foo
$ ls /test/foo
/test/foo
$ rm /test/foo
rm: cannot remove `/test/foo': No such file or directory
$ rm -r /test
rm: cannot remove `/test': No such file or directory
They do work with relative paths:
$ rm test/foo
$ rm -r test
With the updated version of fakechroot, the ones with absolute path
names work.
If you do not mind downloading some MB from the net, you can/should test
debootstrapping:
sudo apt-get install debootstrap
- fakeroot fakechroot debootstrap hardy /tmp/hardy
http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
+ fakeroot fakechroot debootstrap --variant=fakechroot hardy /tmp/hardy
http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
(use your local mirror). This fails horribly with the fakechroot in
hardy final, but should work with the hardy-proposed version.

Does not wrap *at() functions which makes fakechroot fail badly with Hardy
