--- Begin Message ---Package: pbuilder Version: 0.212 Severity: grave Justification: may cause data loss Dear pbuilder Maintainers, pbuilder fails to configure on wheezy (and sid) if /etc/pbuilderrc is a symlink to /etc/pbuilder/pbuilderrc after it replaces /etc/pbuilder/pbuilderrc with a symlink despite pbuilder/rewrite is set to false. * What led up to the situation? I have my pbuilder in a git repository. Hence the complete /etc/pbuilder/ is under version control while /etc/pbuilderrc is not, but a symlink to /etc/pbuilder/pbuilderrc (to have it under version control). * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I upgraded today pbuilder from 0.211 to 0.212. It asked me via debconf if it should update pbuilderrc and I denied that question. * What was the outcome of this action? Setting up pbuilder (0.212) ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/pbuilder.config: 40: /var/lib/dpkg/info/pbuilder.config: cannot create /etc/pbuilderrc: Too many levels of symbolic links dpkg: error processing pbuilder (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Processing triggers for menu ... Errors were encountered while processing: pbuilder And, even worse: My real pbuilderrc has been deleted despite pbuilder/rewrite being set to false: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Aug 23 21:53 /etc/pbuilder/pbuilderrc -> ../pbuilderrc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Sep 16 13:33 /etc/pbuilderrc -> pbuilder/pbuilderrc If I wouldn't have /etc/pbuilder/ in git but choosen that layout for other reasons (and would have no other means of backup), my handcrafted pbuilderrc would have been lost. * What outcome did you expect instead? That it just doesn't touch my handcrafted pbuilderrc independent of its location and that it still would have looked like before: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 858 Sep 30 14:20 /etc/pbuilder/pbuilderrc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Sep 16 13:33 /etc/pbuilderrc -> pbuilder/pbuilderrc (A "git checkout pbuilderrc" and then a "dpkg --configure --pending" solved the issue for me. Nevertheless this shouldn't happen.) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pbuilder depends on: ii cdebconf [debconf-2.0] 0.175 ii cdebootstrap 0.5.9 ii coreutils 8.13-3.2 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.46 ii debianutils 4.3.2 ii debootstrap 1.0.42 ii dpkg-dev 1.16.8 ii wget 1.13.4-3 Versions of packages pbuilder recommends: ii devscripts 2.12.4 ii fakeroot 1.18.4-2 ii sudo 1.8.5p2-1 Versions of packages pbuilder suggests: ii cowdancer 0.70 ii gdebi-core 0.8.5 pn pbuilder-uml <none> -- debconf information: pbuilder/mirrorsite: http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ pbuilder/nomirror: pbuilder/rewrite: false
