Public bug reported:
The fix:
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pbuilder/pbuilder.git/commit/?id=bf1acdc
[Impact]
The remove_packages() function in pbuilder-modules contains:
if (dpkg -s "$pkg" 2>&1)>/dev/null ; then
This obviously must
if ($CHROOTEXEC dpkg -s "$pkg" 2>&1)>/dev/null ; then
This causes remove_packages() to try to remove packages that are not
present, actually making the function not working at all in some
circumstances, leading to crashes.
[Test Case]
* get a sarge chroot, or anyway around that time
* assuming you have pbuilder installed on the host and not in the chroot, run:
pbuilder u --removepackages pbuilder
[Regression Potential]
* for yakkety, no potential regression, this is a targetted fix.
