So bad behavior of the Ubuntu package.
So, this leaves a few questions:
1. Is it possible to ignore postinstall exit codes for specific packages in OBS?
Not in general. SUSE packages simply avoid certain actions that are dangerous or will fail in a chroot if YAST_IS_RUNNING is set to 'instsys', which is what the build script uses. On other distros you can only BuildIgnore or Substitute problematic packages atm. It wouldn't be hard to introduce extra prjconf options to make the build script pass e.g. --noscripts to rpm (and whatever else is needed for dpkg) though.
2. Is there any chance to get a virtualized build done on any other host distro than OpenSuSE (In this case: FC13)? If so: any hints.
Sure, why not? I don't know how to help though. UTSL :-) Maybe you just need to prepare your initrd in a special way, like e.g. including the correct storage drivers (virtio!?). cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
