The base-files side of this was fixed in base-files 6.4ubuntu1. Changelog: base-files (6.4ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low
* Merge from Debian unstable, remaining changes: - Branding changes. - Add /etc/lsb-release file. - Add lsb-release-udeb package. - Record md5sums of unmodified /etc/profile versions so that we can upgrade it automatically. - Various bashrc extensions. - Do not install /usr/local dirs with staff group writeability, as there are cases where somebody can become any user but root (like NFS). - Update the motd upgrade handling to know about /etc/motd.tail. - Add default /etc/networks file. - Added information about the docs web page. - Restore order line in /etc/host.conf with a comment. - Ship /root mode 700 by default. * Dropped changes: - drop versioned dependency on libpam-modules, satisfied in all versions since hardy (and earlier) - remove /var/lock and /var/run: this is handled differently in Debian, no reason to diverge - fixing up permissions of files copied by ubiquity: transition completed in lucid. - debian/postinst.in: replace references to /var/run with /run: /run is still a draft standard for the time being and should only be used for those parts of the system that were being placed *other* than in /var/run for various reasons (e.g., /dev/.udev, /lib/init/rw). /var/run must continue to exist and be functional, and initscripts guarantees a smooth transition from /var/run to /run once we are ready to start doing away with /var/run (once the FHS officially ratifies /run as its replacement), so there's no reason to diverge from Debian here. base-files (6.4) unstable; urgency=low * Added /run. Closes: #620157. * On new installs: - Create /run/lock (debian-installer will remove it but this will ensure that it exists even on chroot environments). - Symlink /var/run to /run. - Symlink /var/lock to /run/lock. * On upgraded systems, initscripts will handle the transition to /run. * Added "Breaks: initscripts << (2.88dsf-13.3)" to ensure that initscripts is upgraded first, as otherwise udev would break. * Thanks a lot to Roger Leigh. ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/807974 Title: debootstrap fails to install libc6 installing oneiric from natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/807974/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
