Public bug reported:
Today I created a new VirtualBox with 22.04 to move my build server on a
newer version of Ubuntu.
When I install my package to create my build server, one of the steps is
to create the build environment for each platform I want to support.
The command line I come up with looks like this:
pbuilder-dist jammy create --updates-only --mirror
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu --extrapackages "apt-utils lsb-release
vim apt-transport-https ca-certificates eatmydata"
That runs up to the point where it tries to do the equivalent of "apt-
get update" (I'm not too sure which command is used for that purpose).
The command fails with an error saying that
"pbuilder/jammy_result/./Packages" does not exist. If I create that file
before I call the create command, the build works. In older versions of
pbuilder-dist, I did not have to create that file. I think this is a
pretty major issue.
To bypass the issue I just create the directory and that Packages file:
mkdir -p pbuilder/jammy_result
touch pbuilder/jammy_result/Packages
just before invoking "pbuilder-dist jammy create ...". Then it works as
expected.
