Package: cowbuilder Version: 0.57 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Freshly installed cowbuilder package (along with its pbuilder, cowdancer and cdebootstrap dependencies) fail with messages: P: Unpacking package apt P: Configuring package libbz2-1.0 P: Configuring package libusb-0.1-4 E: Internal error: install E: cdebootstrap failed W: Aborting with an error pbuilder create failed forking: rm -rf /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow All the previous steps of package download and configuration went apparently smoothly, including the two following: P: Configuring package dpkg P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-rc.d P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-makedev Note that the /var/cache/pbuilder directory was empoy when the `cowbuilder --create' command was run. Because of the last error message, I wondered if the bug is not in cdebootstrap. I thus unistalled all the packages, installed debootstrap and then cowbuilder and run the following command: # cowbuilder --create --buildplace /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow \ --mirror http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ --distribution sid \ --debootstrap debootstrap --basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/base-test.cow Unfortunately, no better results: I: Configuring libtimedate-perl... I: Configuring g++... I: Configuring dpkg-dev... I: Configuring build-essential... W: Failure while configuring base packages. W: Failure while configuring base packages. W: Failure while configuring base packages. W: Failure while configuring base packages. W: Failure while configuring base packages.
