We are using live-build to build some live systems which are using the config/binary property of LB_DEBIAN_INSTALL="live". Other properties of interest are LB_DEBIAN_INSTALLER_GUI="false", Image is for architecture of amd64, Distribution for yakkety. We are currently using the live-build version of 1:20161216 (v5 or so, the latest in the git repo). Most scenarios are working wonderfully, that's the good news. The observation made is the following: When attempting to use a preseed.cfg to by-pass ALL the manual menu prompts, etc. we hit a unique (or maybe corner-case ?) scenario which may or may not be main-line. We have a CDROM image built for the live-build binary, but its sparsely populated, expecting to do mirror pulls of the majority of the packages to complete the installation (like a netinst, but the type is "live", so there is a pool archive available). All goes well until almost the end of the apt-setup-udeb.postinst step. This is where we have debugged the root cause to be the /var/lib/dpkg/info/apt-setup-udeb.postinst script. The script in the udeb of apt-setup-udeb_0.104ubuntu5_amd64.udeb seems to not be what is shown in the current git tree and the revision history on the apt-setup-udeb.postinst script doesn't seem to reflect that its changed recently, so we are wondering why the contents of not only this script but of the entire apt-setup-udeb_0.104ubuntu5_amd64.udeb appears to be out-of-sync. The debugging problem came down to a use case where the /cdrom was NOT mounted and so the conditions in the OLD apt-setup-udeb.postinst script failed the first check to make a backup copy of the sources.list file which left the entire sources.list reverted back to only CDROM contents when we had properly seeded the sources.list to setup the mirrors and actually did the entire downloads through installing the software, but at the very end of the install it was flagged and install stopped. We first saw the file named sources.list.apt-setup showing up in /target/etc/apt which was at first unexplainable since we had break points earlier which had showed the sources.list properly setup and working fine. Two questions: 1 - Is this a packaging problem and the levels of scripts and content of the apt-setup-udeb needs to be refreshed ? 2 - Is there a latest apt-setup-udeb you can point us to for our test efforts ? We are working around this for now. Here is a brief comparison of the two levels we've queried (the file contents and number of scripts differ as well, the following is just a high-level introduction to the hierarchy). ******************************************************************** apt-setup-udeb_0.104ubuntu5_amd64.udeb $ dpkg -c apt-setup-udeb_0.104ubuntu5_amd64.udeb drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2016-06-08 12:17 ./ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2016-06-08 12:17 ./usr/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2016-06-08 12:17 ./usr/bin/ -rwxr-xr-x root/root 2061 2016-06-08 12:08 ./usr/bin/apt-setup -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1204 2016-06-08 12:08 ./usr/bin/apt-setup-signed-release -rwxr-xr-x root/root 3582 2016-06-08 12:08 ./usr/bin/apt-setup-verify drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2016-06-08 12:17 ./usr/lib/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2016-06-08 12:17 ./usr/lib/apt-setup/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2016-06-08 12:17 ./usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/ -rwxr-xr-x root/root 644 2016-06-08 12:08 ./usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/01setup -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1197 2016-06-08 12:08 ./usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/60local -rwxr-xr-x root/root 2104 2016-06-08 12:08 ./usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/90services-select -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1785 2016-06-08 12:08 ./usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/91security -rwxr-xr-x root/root 925 2016-06-08 12:08 ./usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/95overlay $ cat DEBIAN/postinst #!/bin/sh set -e . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule # If we're installing from CD, then we won't need this sources.list until # nearly the end of pkgsel; the one generated during base system # installation will do just fine until then. if [ -f /cdrom/.disk/base_installable ]; then cp -a /target/etc/apt/sources.list /target/etc/apt/sources.list.base fi apt-setup --log-output /target if [ -f /target/etc/apt/sources.list.base ]; then logger -t apt-setup 'Using only basic sources for CD installation' mv -f /target/etc/apt/sources.list \ /target/etc/apt/sources.list.apt-setup mv -f /target/etc/apt/sources.list.base /target/etc/apt/sources.list in-target apt-get -o <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="APT::Get::Download=false">APT::Get::Download=false</a> \ -o <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="APT::Get::List-Cleanup=false">APT::Get::List-Cleanup=false</a> update fi exit 0 ******************************************************************** The following is from the latest builds: $ ls -altr total 356 -rw-rw-r-- 1 debmc debmc 348699 Feb 22 15:20 ~ubuntu-installer_apt-setup_master-r1163.tgz $ ls -altr ~ubuntu-installer/apt-setup/master/generators total 60 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2138 Feb 22 15:20 93backports -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2122 Feb 22 15:20 92updates -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1301 Feb 22 15:20 91security -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1897 Feb 22 15:20 90services-select -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1197 Feb 22 15:20 60local -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6248 Feb 22 15:20 50mirror.ubuntu -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5750 Feb 22 15:20 50mirror -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4195 Feb 22 15:20 41cdset -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3241 Feb 22 15:20 40cdrom -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 644 Feb 22 15:20 01setup drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 22 15:21 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 22 15:21 . $ cat ~ubuntu-installer/apt-setup/master/debian/apt-setup-udeb.postinst #!/bin/sh set -e apt-setup --log-output /target </div> </body> </html>
