As I also hit the same issue, I looked at the problem: [ 192s] [191/305] installing x11-common [ 192s] Selecting previously unselected package x11-common. [ 194s] Can't exec "insserv": No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/update-rc.d line 417. [ 194s] update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header [ 194s] dpkg: error processing x11-common (--install): [ 194s] subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 255 [ 194s] Errors were encountered while processing: [ 194s] x11-common [ 194s] exit ... x11-common simply manages a initscript via update-rc.d - the bug is inside update-rc.d (part of sysv-rc package). update-rc.d checks, if /etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering is present. If yes, it changes the etc directory itself, else it calls inserv [expecting, that it is in the path - the insserv package ships this exectuable in /usr/lib/insserv]. The postinst of sysv-rc creates /etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering, if still some init scripts are linked as /etc/rc0.d/S* In a Ubunutu 12.04 (as well as Ubuntu 12.10) chroot, update-rc.d is broken, if there is no /etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering. Ensuring, that there is a /etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering after sysv-rc is installed and configured, should solve the problem. I don't fully understand the OBS bootstrap nor have I tried to reproduce the bootstrap, but in my option the problem is caused by the fact, that passwd on 12.10 got a depenendency to upstart added. So initscripts/sysv-rc.d are installed in the first phase (--prepare) - according to the build logs (and the project config), it's postinst are not started. So in my option, OBS could add a workaround to create a /etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering after finishing prepare. Running the initscripts of sysc-rc.d/initscripts could also be an option.
