Hi all, I need to get some debian-installer packages uploaded for s390x and mips.
Since I have no hardware for that archs, I suspect the way to go is to create a chroot for that archs, right? My hardware is amd64. I have a working sbuild chroot for amd64, for creation of that I followed https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild Based on this, I tried to create chroots for s390x and mips, too. But that fails. Is there some documentation for this use case? The manpage of sbuild-createchroot contains commandline examples for several use cases, but not for cross-compiling. I used: sbuild-createchroot --arch=s390x --foreign --include=eatmydata,ccache,gnupg unstable /srv/chroot/unstable-s390x-sbuild http://deb.debian.org/debian and the output ends with: ----snip----- I: Please add any additional APT sources to /srv/chroot/unstable-s390x-sbuild/etc/apt/sources.list I: schroot chroot configuration written to /etc/schroot/chroot.d/unstable-s390x-sbuild-awxveq. +------------------------------------------------------------------------ |[unstable-s390x-sbuild] |description=Debian unstable/s390x autobuilder |groups=root,sbuild |root-groups=root,sbuild |profile=sbuild |type=directory |directory=/srv/chroot/unstable-s390x-sbuild |union-type=overlay +------------------------------------------------------------------------ I: Please rename and modify this file as required.

And that finishs without error. However, sbuild cannot create a chroot session, the sbuild command sbuild --build=s390x --host=amd64 -s -d unstable --source-only-changes --run-lintian fails with ----snip---- Package: s390-dasd Version: 0.0.60 Source Version: 0.0.60 Distribution: unstable Machine Architecture: amd64 Host Architecture: amd64 Build Architecture: s390x Build Type: source,any E: Failed to execute “/usr/bin/getent”: No such file or directory sh: 1: cannot create /var/run/schroot/mount/unstable-s390x-sbuild-66ca4af6-72c6-4bec-9c69-ae9dd9d3bab0/etc/group: Permission denied E: Failed to create group sbuild Failed to set up chroot E: Error creating chroot session: skipping s390-dasd +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Summary | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Build Architecture: s390x Build Type: source,any Build-Space: 0 Build-Time: 0 Distribution: unstable Fail-Stage: create-session Host Architecture: amd64 Install-Time: 0 Job: /home/holgerw/uploading-d-i/d-i/packages/s390-dasd_0.0.60.dsc Machine Architecture: amd64 Package: s390-dasd Package-Time: 0 Source-Version: 0.0.60 Space: 0 Status: failed Version: 0.0.60 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finished at 2018-08-25T18:24:29Z Build needed 00:00:00, 0k disk space E: Error creating chroot session: skipping s390-dasd -----snap----- I fail to see what's wrong. "Permission denied" points on some lacking permissions. I have added the user to the sbuild group, as documented on https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild And: the sbuild chroot for amd64 works fine for the same user. Could somebody help me?
