Hi, the same problem appears on s390. Therefore installation doesn't succeed. This will be fixed within the next few days.
Gerhard ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: debootstrap breaks with libc6.1 2.2.4-2 postinst Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2001 18:17:30 +0100 From: Richard Hirst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] This is on ia64, b-f 3.0.14, debootstrap 0.1.15.3, libc6.1 2.2.4-2 All worked fine with libc6.1 2.2.4-1. debootstrap tries to x_core_install $LIBC6 before sysvinit has been installed (it is unpacked, but dpkg doesn't know about it). libc6.1 postinst does sysvinitver="`dpkg -s sysvinit | grep ^Version: | sed -e 's/^Version: *//'`" case "`uname -m`" in i?86) badsysvinitver="2.[0-6]*|2.7[0-3]*" ;; *) badsysvinitver="2.[0-6]*|2.7[0-4]*|2.75-*" ;; esac # Black magic. If we are in a chroot, then /proc/1/exe will not resolve to # a file (will return EPERM). This keeps us from breaking things in # debootstrap, and the like. case "$sysvinitver" in $badsysvinitver) ;; *) if [ -x /sbin/init -a -x /bin/readlink ]; then init_proc=`readlink /proc/1/exe`; if [ "$init_proc" = "/sbin/init" ]; then (init u ; sleep 1) fi fi ;; esac fi the first line of that fails with Package `sysvinit' is not installed and no info is available. so sysvinitver is null. It then goes on to try and do the readlink and that fails, meaning the postinst exits with code 1 and debootstrap gives up. Even if the first line above worked, it would set sysvinitver=2.82-1 which wouldn't match badsysvinitver and it would still fail. In libc6.1 2.2.4-1 that last bit of postinst says eval "case \"$sysvinitver\" in $badsysvinitver) ;; *) [ ! -x "/sbin/init" ] || (init u ; sleep 1) esac" The "Black magic" comment is new too. So, do we blame libc6.1 and get that fixed, or do we work round this in debootstrap? chmod -x /target/bin/readlink before the x_core_install and +x afterwards might do, I guess.
