Package: ucf Version: 3.0052 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] User: [email protected] Usertags: hurd-amd64 hurd-i386
Hi, to create a Debian GNU/Hurd chroot from Debian GNU/Linux, so called "chrootless" or --force-script-chrootless (the dpkg option) has to be used because Hurd binaries cannot be run on Linux. Since systemd cannot work on GNU/Hurd, sysvinit is the default init system there. To use sysvinit effectively, the package orphan-sysvinit-scripts is a desirable installation candidate. The package orphan-sysvinit-scripts depends on ucf. Installing ucf with --force-script-chrootless currently fails because its preinst and postinst maintainer scripts do not respect the $DPKG_ROOT environment variable. The patch at the end of this email fixes this. I also opened a MR on salsa for your convenience: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ucf/-/merge_requests/4 The changes have been verified to have the desired results in the salsa CI pipeline of this merge request for the dpkg-root-demo: https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/dpkg-root-demo/-/merge_requests/7 Thanks! cheers, josch diff --git a/debian/ucf.postinst b/debian/ucf.postinst index 3fd1d87..9f4c062 100755 --- a/debian/ucf.postinst +++ b/debian/ucf.postinst @@ -4,8 +4,8 @@ set -e case "$1" in configure) - touch /var/lib/ucf/hashfile - touch /var/lib/ucf/registry + touch "$DPKG_ROOT/var/lib/ucf/hashfile" + touch "$DPKG_ROOT/var/lib/ucf/registry" ;; abort-upgrade) ;; abort-remove) ;; diff --git a/debian/ucf.preinst b/debian/ucf.preinst index 8aa02a6..66b7a41 100755 --- a/debian/ucf.preinst +++ b/debian/ucf.preinst @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ set -e -statedir='/var/lib/ucf'; +statedir="${DPKG_ROOT}/var/lib/ucf"; case "$1" in install)
