[Bug 1468089] [NEW] PPC64LE Ubuntu Live image creation: Issue installing nfs-common

Tue Jun 23 19:53:02 UTC 2015

Public bug reported:

We’re in the midst of building an Ubuntu 15.04 based live image for our OpenPOWER servers, which loads via petitboot, from across a network.  We’ve run into an issue, described below, with loading an nfs-common package.

I specifically am working to create Ubuntu live image for PPC64LE.

I ran into issues initially creating a live image in a machine that’s already booted up with Live image. But now I am running into the same issue even with a machine booted up with regular ubuntu image. 

Details:

Ubuntu Release used: Vivid

Issue:  As I follow the attached Live image creation process from line 2,  after I chroot into subdirectory with linux base system. I install a package called nfs-common (Refer Line 29 of ‘attached' Live image creation process. Also appended at the end of this email)

apt-get install nfs-common

After trying to install the above package, I am running into an issue where “dpkg” gets corrupted when I am installing this package "nfs-tools" . 

After this step, trying to remove and re-install nfs-common or installing any other package does not work and throws out same errors repeatedly. 

Below is a snippet

I am also appending the Live image process steps till this issue occurs (till line 29) below.

 1 Building Live image  
 2 apt-get install debootstrap schroot   
3 mkdir work   
4 mkdir chroot   
5 cd work   
6 debootstrap --arch=ppc64el vivid chroot http://ports.ubuntu.com/

8 sudo cp /etc/hosts chroot/etc/hosts   
9 sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf chroot/etc/resolv.conf  
10 sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list chroot/etc/apt/sources.list  
11 sudo mount --bind /dev /home/racker/work/chroot/dev  
12 sudo chroot chroot

14 mount none -t proc /proc

23 apt-get update  
24 # apt-get install tasksel  
25 # tasksel  
26 pick Ubuntu Server, SSH Servert
27 Using tasksel to install the base Ubuntu Server is important - it makes sure all of the system level facilities ar e present

29 # apt-get install nfs-common
