Package: live-build Version: 1:20240810 Severity: normal Tags: upstream, patch X-Debbugs-Cc: adrela...@kicksecure.com, arraybo...@gmail.com
(Note, I'm using a version of live-build installed with `sudo make
install` that is currently six commits behind git master, however I've
checked the code and this bug should still exist in git master.)
Apparently the grub-efi-ARCH-unsigned packages did not exist in
Bookworm, and only exist in Trixie and later. live-build's
`installer_debian-installer` step seems to be aware of this fact for
amd64 builds and uses an if/then to check if grub-efi-amd64-unsigned is
available before adding it to DI_REQ_PACKAGES. For arm64 builds
however, grub-efi-arm64-unsigned is unconditionally added to
DI_REQ_PACKAGES. As a result, if you attempt to build an arm64 Bookworm
image with debian-installer enabled, the build crashes with `E: Unable
to locate package grub-efi-arm64-unsigned`.
To reproduce the issue on an amd64 machine (since I'm cross-building):
* mkdir lb-test
* cd lb-test
* lb config \
--architecture arm64 \
--bootstrap-qemu-arch arm64 \
--bootstrap-qemu-static /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static \
--debian-installer live
* sudo lb build
The build will die on the debian-installer step with the aforementioned
error.
I have not yet tested the following patch, but I think this will fix
the problem:
