Looking up at this outside FAI context, I did a few rounds of
debootstrap buster. I hit a similar issue as yours at first,
and ended up needing to force specifiying dbus-user-session as
provider of dbus-session-bus to allow lightdm to install:
sudo debootstrap buster chroot-buster/ \
--include=dbus-user-session,lightdm
Otherwise I was seeing this at the end of debootstrap output:
W: Failure while configuring base packages. This will be re-attempted
up to five times.
W: See /tmp/chroot-buster/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details
(possibly the package dconf-service is at fault)
and that as first instance of "dpkg: error" in the debootstrap
log:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dconf-service:
dconf-service depends on default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus;
however:
Package default-dbus-session-bus is not installed.
Package dbus-session-bus is not installed.
dpkg: error processing package dconf-service (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Not sure why the installation of lightdm is not seamless though.
This is reproducible either with debootstrap or apt on my side.
Kind Regards,
