tar: .BUILDINFO: Cannot open: File exists

[BenSzanta]

Hi, I've got a problem with installing. When I start the script it ended here:

chronos@localhost ~/Downloads/drinkcat-chroagh-18cc180 $ sudo sh -e installer/main.sh -r arch -t core,audio,extension,keyboard,xfce-desktop, WARNING: USB booting is enabled; consider disabling it. WARNING: Legacy booting is enabled; consider disabling it. WARNING: Signed boot verification is disabled; consider enabling it.

tar: .BUILDINFO: Cannot open: File exists tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors chronos@localhost ~/Downloads/drinkcat-chroagh-18cc180 $

I think the problem is that .BUILDINFO already exists, but I don't know it's location so I can't delete it. Thanks for the help

Allright. I fix it same way as libcursesw.so. Just by adding:

if [ "$package" = "nettle" ]; then echo "skipping $package" installed="$installed $package " fi; to the bootstrap file in /installer/arch/

I don't know what was wrong with it but this fixes it.

[bendavis78]

Same issue here, thanks for the fix.

You can also fix this by giving the tar command in installers/arch/bootstrap' the--overwrite` flag. This should get the file copy moving and clobber any lingering .BUILDINFO files of any packages instead of skipping them entirely.

I will put this in a PR and then link to your issue so you can see/download the file for future use.

I got the same problem, but a little bit different,although the same result in the shell...

tar: grep-2.24-1/depends: Not found in archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

And i don't know how to fix this.. Coz i can't boot into the arch.

PLZ: I have add --overwrite in the bootrap ... No good.

[stevendlander]

@Arthurwu24 That is a separate error from the File exists error this issue reports. I would suggest making a new issue for that, since this issue was handled by #107 already and should be closed by @drinkcat.

That error is probably due to variable expansion happening in the bootstrap script, like this link suggests.

[Arthurwu24]

@stevendlander So what shall i do to deal with it?

[stevendlander]

@Arthurwu24 Short term: you can try a different fork of this project since @drinkcat might have abandoned the repo. @elkangaroo just recently merged my proposed change to his chroargh repo so they may have already fixed this issue. Try using their repo to see if the issue persists.

Long term, the bootstrap.sh file needs to be debugged to figure if multiple command-line arguments are getting expanded and passed to tar or not. Tar is being called only in a few places in the script so it could be a trivial fix if you looked at it. I wouldn't mind fixing but I have no idea when I would get some free cycles to look. :(

[elkangaroo]

@Arthurwu24 Yes, you can try using my repo as @stevendlander proposed. I just recently rebased with crouton master, added different fixes for the installer and fixed some remaining merge issues.

So far, everything installs just fine (on Acer C720 Chromebook) and all the non-graphical targets seem to work great, but I did not get X.org to work yet, and hence none of the desktop environments.

[Arthurwu24]

@stevendlander Thx,bro....But i tried the repo from @elkangaroo , still the same issue......My device is Acer chromebook cb3-11 ..I still stucked in the problem like i posted before :

tar: grep-2.24-1/depends: Not found in archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

And i can't boot into Arch due to this... What else can i try ?

[Arthurwu24]

@elkangaroo ..I'm sorry,pal. I just found the command line in your chroagh page is the same as drinkcat's.so maybe i got something wrong? Coz that means i typed the same command line in shell...so its fair that i got the same issue .... so what should i do,sorry for bother u so much..

[elkangaroo]

@Arthurwu24 did you use the master branch from my fork? Because the error you get should be fixed there with commit 7b5720c0f0d0f4e2a800b1cf216369843c4061da.

What is the exact command you are running from your shell?

[Arthurwu24]

@elkangaroo . I'm sorryl, i don't get it.. What's the meaning of using master branch from your fork??? I just typed the command :

cd ~/Downloads wget https://api.github.com/repos/drinkcat/chroagh/tarball -O chroagh.tar.gz tar xvf chroagh.tar.gz cd drinkcat-chroagh-*

sudo sh -e installer/main.sh -r arch -t xfce

I guess i did sth wrong.. Cause this is the command showed in drinkcat/chroagh..... But when i use your repo..I typed the same command.... What exact command shall i type ??

[NoahVlncrt]

@Arthurwu24 Just tested his repo out. You want to replace drinkcat with @elkangaroo

Hi @baffometo thx for reporting this. The error is happening due to a upstream change (see issue https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/2583 in the crouton repository) and was fixed in pull request https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/pull/2589.

I will attempt a rebase of dnschneid/crouton master either today or tomorrow to get the fix into https://github.com/elkangaroo/chroagh.

[Wanatux]

@elkangaroo thanks you are amazing

[deahl1]

I get this error when I run the main.sh script:

tar: '--overwrite' cannot be used with '--keep-old-files'

I was getting the .BUILDINFO error, and used this repo instead... Please help!!
