Package: apt Version: 0.9.14.1 Followup-For: Bug #728500 Dear Maintainer,
I have the same problem on my system. The thing is that apt-get update uses the $TMPDIR variable. On my system, this variable is set to /tmp/user/0 when I run "apt-get update" inside of the chroot. But this directory doesn't exist inside of the chroot. "TMPDIR=/tmp apt-get update" inside of the chroot works fine. Attached is a patch for apt to fallback to /tmp in case of a unavailable directory given from $TMPDIR. Of course this doesn't help for already released apt versions so we need to know why $TMPDIR is set to this directory but for future apt releases, the patch handles this error case better. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "amd64"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "1"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Authentication ""; APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-3.11-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-3.11-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-3.11-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-3.11-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-3.11-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-3.11-2-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-3.11-2-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-3.11-2-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-3.11-2-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-3.11-2-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^postgresql-"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/oldlibs"; APT::Update ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "test -x /usr/bin/apt-show-versions || exit 0 ; apt-show-versions -i"; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "/usr/bin/test -e /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.service && /usr/bin/test -S /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket && /usr/bin/gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.PackageKit --object-path /org/freedesktop/PackageKit --timeout 1 --method org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged cache-update > /dev/null; /bin/echo > /dev/null"; APT::Default-Release "sid"; APT::Architectures ""; APT::Architectures:: "amd64"; APT::Architectures:: "i386"; APT::Compressor ""; APT::Compressor::.
