Package: pbuilder Version: 0.181 Severity: normal Hello,
While testing my self created debian package with pbuilder, I came across the following error message when calling "sudo pbuilder build hexec_0.1.1-1.dsc" ... Extracting source + echo 'chown pbuilder:pbuilder /tmp/buildd /tmp/buildd/*' + chroot /home/ablock/work/pbuilder-cache/build//26610 /bin/bash + : ++ basename hexec_0.1.1-1.dsc + chroot /home/ablock/work/pbuilder-cache/build//26610 env LOGNAME=pbuilder su -p pbuilder + echo '( cd tmp/buildd; /usr/bin/dpkg-source -x hexec_0.1.1-1.dsc )' Password: su: Authentication failure + echo 'pbuilder: Failed extracting the source' pbuilder: Failed extracting the source + exit 1 + umountproc_cleanbuildplace_trap + umountproc_cleanbuildplace + '[' 1 -ne 0 ']' + echo ' -> Aborting with an error' -> Aborting with an error ... I've done some tests with "sudo pbuilder login" to figure out what the problem is. In the pbuilder shell, root had nearly no rights (no su, passwd, ...) and often super user programs did give selinux error messages (system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 is not authorized to XXX). So the problem was selinux. /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-modules is looking for /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled to decide if mounting /selinux is required or not. The problem is, that /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled is only available if the package selinux-utils is installed. selinux-utils was not installed on my machine. When installing selinux-utils, pbuilder works as expected. Some suggested solutions: - Set selinux-utils as dependency for pbuilder - Mount /selinux always if it is present (ignoring /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled) - Always try to mount /selinux (even ignoring the presence of /selinux on the real root fs) I'm not sure what mount will do if you try to call "mount -t selinuxfs /selinux", but I would expect it to fail if the kernel has no selinux support. I'm also not sure about possible side effects. - Add a hint to the documentation for users who encounter similar problems. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27.7-c1 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pbuilder depends on: ii coreutils 6.10-6 The GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii debootstrap 1.0.10 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii gcc 4:4.3.2-2 The GNU C compiler ii wget 1.11.4-2 retrieves files from the web Versions of packages pbuilder recommends: ii cowdancer 0.47 Copy-on-write directory tree utili ii devscripts 2.10.35 scripts to make the life of a Debi ii fakeroot 1.11 Gives a fake root environment ii sudo 1.6.9p17-1 Provide limited super user privile Versions of packages pbuilder suggests: pn pbuilder-uml <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: pbuilder/mirrorsite: http://cdn.debian.net/debian pbuilder/nomirror: pbuilder/rewrite: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
