Hallo everyone, we are unable to build packages for ubuntu 11.10 oneiric on our installation of obs. During the preparation of the build chroot, the install fails with the following error message: <snip> installing base-files rmdir: failed to remove `/var/run': Directory not empty dpkg: error processing base-files (--install):  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Processing triggers for install-info ... Errors were encountered while processing:  base-files exit ... At this point of the installation, the postinstall script of base-files tries to replace the /var/run directory by a symlink to /run, while it still contains an empty file /var/run/init.upgraded. This file has been placed there by libc6 (source package eglibc). The reason for this is given in the changelog: eglibc (2.12.1-0ubuntu12) natty; urgency=low * do not run 'telinit u' on upgrade, as this will break upstart. touch /var/run/init.upgraded instead, which will force a re-exec just before remounting root read-only. LP: #672177, LP: #694772. On build.opensuse.org there is no problem with ubuntu 11.10 builds. However the site uses a kvm-based setup while our installation uses chroot-based workers. Also I suspect the b-o-o installation to use a newer version of obs. On our installation we use the latest version for opensuse 11.4. Here is a list of our installed obs versions: obs-server-2.1.11-4.6.x86_64 obs-service-download_files-0.2-26.1.noarch obs-signd-2.1.2-1.1.x86_64 obs-server-debuginfo-1.0.0-4.4.x86_64 obs-service-tar_scm-0.2.1-18.1.noarch obs-api-2.1.11-4.6.x86_64 obs-common-2.1.0-2.1.x86_64 obs-service-set_version-0.1-5.1.noarch obs-worker-2.1.11-4.6.noarch obs-server-debugsource-1.0.0-4.4.x86_64 obs-service-verify_file-0.1-4.1.noarch obs-utils-2.1.11-4.6.x86_64 obs-service-recompress-0.1-8.1.noarch obs-productconverter-2.1.11-4.6.x86_64 I'm unsure what causes this problem and how I could try to fix it. Either the postinstall configure script of base-files should run before libc6 gets installed or the file in /var/run should be removed at some other point during the bootstrapping process after it has been created by libc6. Could this be related to the version of the init_buildsystem script in /usr/lib/obs/server/build? Could I try a newer version here or will this break things? I'd be grateful for any hint on how to debug this problem.
