Installs of this package in a chroot environment could then have a bad impact on the host system. when kiwi builds an image it has to provide access to dev nodes, proc, sys and other kernel specific information. Every package which does assumptions in that area could cause a failure. That's also the reason why e.g Studio builds images only within a contained environment, the containment VM. The risk to damage,lock down the host system does not exist there but of course a bad package still can have an influence on the contained system driving the image build imho the code in the grub postinstall could also have bad effects on simple package building processes. I would say if you put grub into BuildRequires and build some package with osc you could see the same problem when osc installs the grub package to build up the chroot for building a package just my 2cents -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
