Hello, There appears to be a problem with rbuild when for the rock-5b jammy cli -

./rbuild rock-5b jammy cli

It fails with -

2023/09/05 10:11:30 debootstrap.log | dpkg-deb: error: archive ‘.//var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_12ubuntu4_arm64.deb’ uses unknown compression for member ‘control.tar.zst’, giving up
2023/09/05 10:11:30 debootstrap.log | tar: This does not look like a tar archive

2023/09/05 10:11:30 Action debootstrap failed at stage Run, error: exit status 1
Powering off.

I have followed the instructions from www.okdo.com/project/building-rock-os-images/, including forking the repository, on a fresh clean Ubuntu 22.04 VM. I needed to do a couple of additions to the VM to get it to this point, including enabling VM nested virtualisation and installing udo, ruby-rubygems and curl. I am using the latest master branch and I have spotted that the builds are failing, for what looks like a service not being available.

I have tried going back a couple of git revisions to see if the problem is recent and can be circumvented using a particular earlier revision, but no success.

Building rock-5b bullseye cli works, so it looks like its specific to the jammy jelly fish os option.

Is it possible for this to be fixed?

Currently Ubuntu is not an officially supported system from Radxa so I forgot to update the documentation. However to build Ubuntu you not only need a Ubuntu host, but also need to replace ./rbuild with sudo ./rbuild --native-build like how we do it on our GitHub CI.

I'll update our documentation on Monday.

Ah okay. I will give that a go and get back to you. Many thanks for reply so quickly. Much appreciated.
