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

Tue Jun 23 20:34:56 UTC 2015

The failure here does point to a bug in the nfs-common packages; the
init system transitions have led to several reorganizations of the
startup scripts for nfs-common, and there are bugs which mean that in
some configurations the package may fail to install.

However, you're installing in a chroot as part of a liveCD mastering
process.  No services should be started anyway, and the fact that they
are means that you don't have a properly configured chroot.

The minimum fix for your environment is to install the following script as /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d 
 within your chroot before installing any packages, then removing it when the setup is complete:

#!/bin/sh

exit 101

Title:
   PPC64LE Ubuntu Live image creation: Issue installing nfs-common

Status in nfs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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

  root at IBM-P8-2:/# apt-get install nfs-common

  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

  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

  21 passwd root
  22
  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
