Package: debirf
Version: 0.38
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
Since usr merge, Debirf no longer works properly.
The issue lays in the install-kernel script :
debirf_exec dpkg --extract /var/cache/apt/archives/"$KPKG" /
This line installs the kernel by extracting it inside the chroot environment.
For some reason, a classic dpkg install can't be done here.
The package linux-image-4.19.0-1-amd64 embeds directory trees and unfortunately
dpkg --extract overwrite the existing /lib symlink in the chroot with its
directory tree. In that state the system is then completely unusable.
>From reading the source code of dpkg it seems that this way of extracting the
inner tar archive embeded in the package is not configurable.
So as a workaround, we can extract the files ourselves and specify the option
--keep-directory-symlink in the tar command :
-debirf_exec dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/"$KPKG"
+debirf_exec apt-get install -y binutils xz-utils
+debirf_exec ar x /var/cache/apt/archives/"$KPKG" data.tar.xz
+debirf_exec tar -x --keep-directory-symlink -f data.tar.xz
+debirf_exec rm -f data.tar.xz
