Package: cowbuilder Version: 0.87+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I am a newbie to cowbuilder. A gentleman helped me to create the pbuilderrc -
~$ cat .pbuilderrc BASEPATH="/var/cache/pbuilder/sid-amd64/base.cow" DISTRIBUTION="sid" MIRRORSITE="http://deb.debian.org/debian/"; # Enable build log PKGNAME_LOGFILE="yes" which was then symlinked to root sudo ln -s ~/.pbuilderrc /root/ now till here everything is/was good. Then I tried - $ sudo cowbuilder --create I: Invoking pbuilder I: forking: pbuilder create --buildplace /var/cache/pbuilder/unstable-amd64/base.cow --mirror http://deb.debian.org/debian/ --distribution unstable --no-targz --extrapackages cowdancer E: Directory /var/cache/pbuilder/unstable-amd64/base.cow does not exist E: pbuilder create failed I: forking: rm -rf /var/cache/pbuilder/unstable-amd64/base.cow I then had to explicitly make the basepath as shared in https://wiki.debian.org/cowbuilder $ sudo mkdir /var/cache/pbuilder/sid-amd64 before I was able to make the base chroot /var/cache/pbuilder/sid-amd64$ ls base.cow I did see #820946 which shares somewhat the same concern, although in my case when I have explicitly given the basepath. Am I missing or mis-understanding something ? -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable-debug'), (100, 'experimental-debug'), (100, 'experimental'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.17.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IN:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages cowbuilder depends on: ii cowdancer 0.87+b1 ii libc6 2.27-5 ii libncurses6 6.1+20180714-1 ii libtinfo6 6.1+20180714-1 ii pbuilder 0.229.3 cowbuilder recommends no packages. cowbuilder suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
