Hi folks, I've been able to reproduce this bug with regularity with
Bdale's Freedom-Maker:
$ sudo apt-get install vmdebootstrap
$ git clone https://alioth.debian.org/anonscm/git/freedombox/freedom-maker.git
$ make -C freedom-maker dreamplug-image
The DreamPlug image fails to build because Monkeysphere can't be
installed due to this bug:
#+begin_example
Setting up monkeysphere (0.36-1) ...
adding monkeysphere user...
ms: setting up Monkeysphere authentication trust core...
qemu: Unsupported syscall: 184
qemu: Unsupported syscall: 184
Failed running transition script /usr/share/monkeysphere/transitions/0.23
dpkg: error processing package monkeysphere (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 141
#+end_example
So, unfortunately, we can't build FreedomBox images for the DreamPlug
until this is fixed.
Monkeysphere should handle systemd and we should skip the transition
scripts when they're unnecessary. I'm trying to test the attached patch
to skip unnecessary scripts, but the build testscript has been hung at
this line for the last half hour. Not sure if it failed or not:
#+begin_example
