--- Begin Message ---Package: pbuilder-uml Version: 0.181 Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Currently, in /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-modules, the function copy_local_configuration() transfers /etc/resolv.conf (among other files) from the host system to the pbuilder. This is triggered during pbuilder-user-mode-linux, even though it doesn't necessarily make sense to do so. The scenario i ran into this with was on a host with a local caching resolver running on the loopback interface. On the host, /etc/resolv.conf points to 127.0.0.1. But on the UML instance, there is no caching resolver, so DNS resolution fails. Similarly, i see no reason to transfer in /etc/hosts or /etc/hostname for the UML instance: there are good reasons why a user maintaining a UML instance might prefer to keep these files distinct within their virtualized host. I'm not sure the right way to resolve the problem, but here are some ideas: * an environment variable which says where to fetch the "local configuration" from (so users could redirect away from the host's /etc/)? * a command-line flag that could direct pbuilder to not copy_local_configuration() at all? Or maybe there's some other option that handles this already which i've missed in my reading of the documentation and the source. If there is, i'd be happy to learn about it! Thanks for pbuilder, and for supporting the uml flavor of it as well. It's an incredibly useful tool.

--- Begin Message ---Version: 0.222+rm pbuilder-uml is really not widely used. u-m-l is itself badly maintained, and broken most of the time, at the point this afternoon I filed RM bugs to have it completely removed from the archive. After some consideration I came to the point removing pbuilder-uml was the right choice. Since pbuilder-uml is not anymore a thing, I'm closing related bugs. Thanks for watching, and sorry if this somehow disrupted your workflow or something. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: http://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
