fork/exec error when building Go rock with the 24.04 build-base

[gruyaume]

Bug Description

I am getting errors when trying to build Go rocks with the 24.04 build-base. With the rockcraft.yaml file referenced below, the rock works fine with Ubuntu 22.04, but not with 24.04.

To Reproduce

1. Pack the rock
2. Convert to skopeo
3. Docker run the rock
4. Pebble exec bin/

Environment

• rockcraft 1.3.2

rockcraft.yaml

Hi @gruyaume .

You might be missing the base-files_lib slice. Can you try that?

[gruyaume]

@cjdcordeiro thank you, indeed this does solve the issue. How could have I known this though? In general when building a rock for a given plugin it would be great to know what are the minimal package requirements for it

[cjdcordeiro]

@gruyaume this is an unfortunate upstream change introduced in 24.10. For chisel, there are no assumptions, so even though libc6 should now depend on base-files, the upstream deb has no such dependency.

As for your plugin suggestion, it is something worth considering (although risky, cause the plugin cannot know everything that is needed and thus end up adding more/less than what's actually required). I'll put this for internal discussion anyway.
