Package: live-installer
Version: 34
Severity: normal
Hello,
after building a live image with live-build using the "daily" wheezy/sid
installer and installed the image to disk crontab and postfix failed to
start (this is a debian wheezy/testing image). The problem was a missing
/var/spool directory in the installed system, that live-installer did
not "copy" to disk.
While the installer "copies" the files in /live/filesystem.squashfs I've
opened tty2 and confirmed that /var/spool is in the image
ls /mnt/var/spool
and is polulated. But after copying the files to disk, still in the
installer, /var/spool does not exist.
ls /target/var/spool
After install /var/spool does not exist. This breaks crontab and
probably all other packages that expect a /var/spool directory.
To fix (only) the crontab error, recreate the /var/spool directory in
the installed system after 1st boot:
sudo mkdir /var/spool
I also had postfix in the image, but this one requires one to recreate
its directory in /var/spool, not just /var/spool:
sudo mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix
Samba is another package that might break (not confirmed).
