Hello! Two weeks ago I posted the following question on Debian User. Since nobody on that list could help, I'm now trying my luck here. I'm sorry should you have already seen this before...
I have written a little script to download a package from a repository specified on the command line. E.g. the following will download the package debian-archive-keyring_2010.08.28_all.deb on an Ubuntu system: $ apt-getfrom -s "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main" \ download debian-archive-keyring apt-getfrom works by setting up a "sandbox" environment in a temporary configuration file, based on a suggestion by Bob Proulx (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/04/msg00953.html) When I use apt-getfrom while building a package (i.e. from within debian/rules), I run into an error. I guess it has to do with fakeroot, because I can reproduce the problem like this: $ fakeroot apt-getfrom -s "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable \ main" download debian-archive-keyring Failed to open connection to "system" message bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Could someone please explain what causes this error and/or how to avoid it? Thanks, Malte -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
