retitle 546834 debootstrap because of conflicting package and init.d script dependencies close 546834 -1 reassign -1 procps thanks
I am able to reproduce it using debootstrap sid chroot-sid so this problem is not related to lh_build and my question about that can be ignored. There are two problems blocking debootstrap from working: Setting up procps (1:3.2.8-1) ... update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/w.procps to provide /usr/bin/w (w) in auto mode. insserv: Service mountkernfs has to be enabled to start service procps insserv: exiting now! dpkg: error processing procps (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 and Setting up util-linux (2.16-3) ... install-info: warning: maintainer scripts should not call install-info anymore, install-info: warning: this is handled now by a dpkg trigger provided by the install-info: warning: install-info package; package util-linux should be updated. update-alternatives: using /bin/more to provide /usr/bin/pager (pager) in auto mode. insserv: Service checkroot has to be enabled to start service hwclock insserv: exiting now! dpkg: error processing util-linux (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Both are due to the init.d scripts in the packages have hard dependencies on scripts in the initscripts package, while the package themselves do not depend on initscripts. There are two solutions to this, either the hard init.d script dependency can be made soft (ie move the dependency from required-start to should-start), or add initscripts as a dependency for procps and util-linux. I'm not sure which solution make most sense, but suspect the latter is the proper solution if the scripts really need each other. Adding initscripts as a package dependency will change the order packages are installed by debootstrap and perhaps expose other bugs in package dependencies, though.
