I woke up with one realization this morning -- sbuild was not picking up the changed packages from backports etc. because it's probably set to prefer anything that's already loaded into it (remember "normally" it grabs fresh packages EVERY TIME you build, but I got impatient weeks ago and pre-loaded all the dependencies).
Since I couldn't even build a known "clean" cmake package from a PPA I have to assume I had basically ruined the chroot build environment somehow. SO I deleted the old chroot and created the new chroot, and sure enough it's building the cmake package just fine. Here's how I deleted the chroot: --------------------------------------- $ sudo sbuild-destroychroot bionic-amd64 [The above command does NOT delete the chroot -- it locates it and tells you how. Useful!] $ lsof /var/lib/schroot/chroots/bionic-amd64 $ sudo rm --recursive --one-file-system /var/lib/schroot/chroots/bionic-amd64 $ sudo rm /etc/schroot/chroot.d/sbuild-bionic-amd64 Here's the process I used to create a bionic chroot with backports enabled: ----------------------------------------------- $ mk-sbuild bionic ... [lots of stuff going into the chroot] Done building bionic-amd64. To CHANGE the golden image: sudo schroot -c source:bionic-amd64 -u root To ENTER an image snapshot: schroot -c bionic-amd64 To BUILD within a snapshot: sbuild -A -d bionic-amd64 PACKAGE*.dsc To BUILD for : sbuild -A -d bionic-amd64 --host PACKAGE*.dsc $ $ schroot -c source:bionic-amd64 -u root # cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ # cat > bionic-backports.list deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse ^D # apt update # apt upgrade # exit $ ------------------------------------------ The cmake source package is still building. It creates lots of binaries. I typed this up while I was waiting... Next thing to try: the GnuCash 3.7 package for Ubuntu Eoan with the GCC 9 build flag commented out... _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
