For my part, I am not trying to build i386 images. I'm trying to build
same-arch (amd64) images.
I first tried on a bookworm system with these versions:
ii autopkgtest 5.28
all automatic as-installed testing for Debian packages
ii vmdb2 0.27+really.0.26-1+deb12u1
all creator of disk images with Debian installed
Then on a trixie system with these versions:
ii autopkgtest 5.49
all automatic as-installed testing for Debian packages
ii vmdb2 0.40-2
all creator of disk images with Debian installed
My first attempts failed. However, with the newer versions of these
packages (and perhaps the dependencies), I was able to see that the
exit status 100 was being caused by this:
mktemp: failed to create file via template ‘/tmp/user/0/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX’: No
such file or directory
I use pam_tmpdir on my systems, and this was apparently causing the
problem.
I changed my command from this:
sudo autopkgtest-build-qemu bookworm ./autopkgtest-bookworm.img
to this:
sudo sh -c 'TMP=/tmp TMPDIR=/tmp autopkgtest-build-qemu bookworm
./autopkgtest-bookworm.img'
And now everything works. So, it appears that this was the root cause,
at least in my case.
