Package: sbuild Version: 0.58.6-1 Severity: normal Hi,
I was surprised when I ran sbuild-createchroot today because it produced this error: STATS_DIR directory '/root/stats' does not exist at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Conf.pm line 70. Obviously, 'mkdir -p /root/stats' solves this problem. However, this requirement doesn't look to be documented in man 8 sbuild-createchroot. It's also confusing because the README.Debian seems to suggest that the stats directories are in /var/lib/sbuild. Thanks, Daniel Moerner For reference, from #debian-devel today: [17:52] <dmoerner> why does sbuild demand that /root/stats exist when i run sbuild-createchroot? i'm not seeing it documented in the manpage [17:52] <KiBi> dmoerner: demands ~/stats more generally; please report a bug. [17:52] <KiBi> (I've always been time-constrained when I hit this annoyance, never reported it :p) [17:58] <dmoerner> KiBi: thanks for the confirmation, i'll file a bug [17:59] <KiBi> dmoerner: I'd bet it comes from the fact sbuild was mostly used on the buildds, and they were expected to keep some tracks of stats. [17:59] <KiBi> rleigh might (co|i)nfirm that. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sbuild depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii libsbuild-perl 0.58.6-1 Tool for building Debian binary pa ii perl 5.10.0-24 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules 5.10.0-24 Core Perl modules Versions of packages sbuild recommends: ii debootstrap 1.0.15 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii fakeroot 1.12.5 Gives a fake root environment Versions of packages sbuild suggests: pn deborphan <none> (no description available) ii wget 1.11.4-4 retrieves files from the web -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
