Cannot build the filesystem #7

Closed kartoch closed 5 years ago

kartoch commented 13 years ago

I've the following errors when I trt to build the filesystem:

$ sudo make -f Makefile.devel  filesystem

This is debootstrap failing. In the past we have resolved similar issues, due to debootstrap bugs and/or missing packages and/or broken dependencies in the repository, by manually getting the required packages instead. The filesystem Makefile includes an ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES variable that is used to fetch these packages. You may want to remove libxapian15 from the list.

It fixed the problem but I have another one:

If I try to investigate the problem:

If I remember well, It was a blocking problem because this is a problem in the installation process of debian and the sid distribution is deprecated (it was why I tried to build a lenny filesystem). Do you have a solution for this ?

Cheers,

Julien.

Looks as if debootstrap has forgotten to install fundamental basic packages (libbz2, in this case) before initiating dpkg invocations. This may be worked around either by forcing debootstrap to include the libbz2 package at an early stage (which you can achieve in the Makefile) or, in the extreme case when no other solution works, by unpacking the libbz2 package into the directory debootstrap is supposed to chroot into.

I'm having the same problem with building squeeze filesystem.

Including libbz2 (specifically, libbz2-1.0) in the ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES variable had no effect. Unpacking the package (retrieved from http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386/libbz2-1.0/download ) into mounted-fs directory worked: the build process successfully completed I: Installing core packages... stage and went on.

However, it has not finished successfully. The following log was produced (less important parts snipped for brevity):

...

W: Failure while configuring required packages.
make: *** [.base_system_installed] Error 1

The error is rather cryptic to me and I do not know how to investigate the cause here.

Perusing mounted-fs/debootstrap/debootstrap.log I was able to identify the problem: more missing dependencies. In the end, unpacking the following packages to mounted-fs directory and adding them to ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES variable fixed the issue for me:

Based on unmaintained debians, rotten issue, closing it
