I'll try to sum things up: Currently pbuilder-dist calls pbuilder with --mirror $archive and --othermirror $mirror $components with $archive being archive.u.c or ftp.d.o, and $components being main restricted (universe multiverse) or main (contrib non-free). As you can see, we don't specify the components for the mirror specified in --mirror. pbuilder uses for that the $COMPONENTS var defined in pbuilderrc. If this var contains restricted|universe|multiverse, pbuilder-dist will fail with Debian. So the workaround is to put only main in that var and let --othermirror manage the components. That is not the best solution because it's not very clean, and you will get a "duplicate mirror" warning for the main component.
Now the real solution. It's to not use --othermirror (we only want to use one mirror), but only --mirror. But we need to be able to specify the components for that mirror. And here comes the pbuilder patch which adds the --components option. pbuilder-dist will call pbuilder with --mirror $archive and --components $components. I don't see any other solution to cleanly fix this bug, and IMO "that won't be backportable" is not a good reason for not fixing a bug. -- pbuilder-dist tries Ubuntu components for Debian distro https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140964 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
