Does not behave correctly on freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04

znoxx commented 7 years ago

It tries to install qemu-user-static from zesty, after this installation of binmft-support fails (no package ?)

To workaround - install qemu-user-static from normal system repository, it will install binfmt-support. After this qemu-user static will be updated to needed version.

Could you please paste a log here?

This is a fresh install on LTS:

 sudo ./alpine-chroot-install -a armhf -p linux-headers

> Installing qemu-user-static on host system...
> Package qemu-user-static available for your system is too old (2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.14)

But when I remove qemu-user-static, then sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-zesty.list

Then

sudo apt-get update

It works.

Not sure it is good idea to hack repositories, especially in LTS system. May be it makes sense to install binfmt-support first, then add repo from zesty, then install qemu-user-static, then remove repo and refresh cache. In this case system will be cleaner.

Also reproduced on a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04, but only when binfmt-support isn't installed before running alpine-chroot-install. The script works on Travis CI simply because its build environment has binfmt-support already installed.

Ubuntu 14 is not relevant anymore, so I can close this issue.

alpinelinux / alpine-chroot-install
