Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
to create a Debian GNU/Hurd chroot from Debian GNU/Linux, so called
"chrootless" or --force-script-chrootless (the dpkg option) has to be
used because Hurd binaries cannot be run on Linux. Since systemd cannot
work on GNU/Hurd, sysvinit is the default init system there. To use
sysvinit effectively, the package orphan-sysvinit-scripts is a desirable
installation candidate.
Installing orphan-sysvinit-scripts with --force-script-chrootless
currently fails because its postinst maintainer script does not respect
the $DPKG_ROOT environment variable. The patch at the end of this email
fixes this. I also opened a MR on salsa for your convenience:
https://salsa.debian.org/matthew/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/-/merge_requests/3/diffs
The changes have been verified to have the desired results in the salsa
CI pipeline of dpkg-root-demo:
https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/dpkg-root-demo/-/pipelines
Thanks!
cheers, josch
