Package: fakechroot
Version: 2.8-1.1
Severity: important
Hello:
I came here when trying to use debirf to create a i386 initrd image from
amd64.
debirf is a system that will create diskless, all-in-ram images (kernel and
initramfs) that boot entirely into ram and leave the user in a fully
functional
Debian system. [0]
It is made up of a series of bash scripts which in turns uses debootstrap,
fakeroot, fakechroot. Building of cross initramfs images was recently added,
in
version 0.22 which is not currentl on sid, but can be installed from cmrg apt
repository:
deb http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/debian unstable debirf
This is a description of my test case:
mkdir ~/test
cd ~/test
tar xvfz /usr/share/doc/debirf/example-profiles/minimal.tgz
wget
http://localhost:3142/ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-
image-2.6.26-1-486_2.6.26-12_i386.deb
DEBIRF_ARCH=i386 DEBIRF_MIRROR=http://localhost:3142/ftp.de.debian.org/debian
debirf make -k ~/test/linux-image-2.6.26-1-486_2.6.26-12_i386.deb minimal
In this case I've specified a local mirror/cacher http://localhost:3142 but you
can connect directly to any other debian mirror.
Once you do this, it start processing until it stalls with this error:
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /home/rasasi/Vortex/debirf/rescue/root dpkg
--force-depends
--install var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_5_i386.deb
var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.19_i386.deb
When I inspect the debootstrap log file I have some messages like this(find
attached the whole log):
cp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/fakechroot/libfakechroot.so: undefined
symbol: rpl_malloc
I'll write shortly an analysis of what I think it's happening and a possible
workaround which is working for me.
