I've encountered a problem when using "apt-get install" from within a scratchbox for armel target. Pasted below is part of the messages I got:
Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed Setting up base-passwd (3.5.20) ... /scratchbox/tools/bin/misc_runner: SBOX_CPUTRANSPARENCY_METHOD not set update-passwd has found some differences between your system accounts and the current Debian defaults. It is advisable to allow update-passwd to change your system; without those changes some packages might not work correctly. For more documentation on the Debian account policies please see /usr/share/doc/base-passwd/README. The list of proposed changes is: It is highly recommended that you allow update-passwd to make these changes (a backup file of modified files is made with the extension .org so you can always restore the current settings). Okay, I am going to make the necessary updates now /scratchbox/tools/bin/misc_runner: SBOX_CPUTRANSPARENCY_METHOD not set dpkg: error processing base-passwd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 126 Errors were encountered while processing: base-passwd As you can see, update-passwd does not give up any difference, but suggested nothing to change. Does anyone know how to workaround this? I did not set up cpu transparency method because I did not need it. Could that be the reason? Thanks in advance! - Weidong
