OK, I found it. During debootstrap run, a process "udevd --daemon" is started. It persists when debootstrap gets to the end. If you kill it, the process reading from debootstrap's stdout is able to terminate.
My guess is that stdout is being passed to that daemon, and it's holding it open. No idea of the fix though. Why is udevd being started in the first place? If it's being started as a daemon, why is it not closing its stdout? And if there is a reason for running it, shouldn't it be stopped before debootstrap finishes? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1287943 Title: vm-builder needs trusty suite To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vmbuilder/+bug/1287943/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
