I’ve encountered a problem when using “apt-get
install” from within a scratchbox for armel target. Pasted below is
part of the messages I got: Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is
not installed Setting up base-passwd (3.5.20) ... /scratchbox/tools/bin/misc_runner: SBOX_CPUTRANSPARENCY_METHOD
not set update-passwd has found some differences between your system
accounts and the current Debian defaults. It is advisable to allow
update-passwd to change your system; without those changes some packages
might not work correctly. For more documentation on the Debian
account policies please see /usr/share/doc/base-passwd/README. The list of proposed changes is: It is highly recommended that you allow update-passwd to
make these changes (a backup file of modified files is made with the extension
.org so you can always restore the current settings). Okay, I am going to make the necessary updates now /scratchbox/tools/bin/misc_runner:
SBOX_CPUTRANSPARENCY_METHOD not set dpkg: error processing base-passwd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error
exit status 126 Errors were encountered while processing: base-passwd As you can see, update-passwd does not give up any
difference, but suggested nothing to change. Does anyone know how to
workaround this? I did not set up cpu transparency method because I did not
need it. Could that be the reason? Thanks in advance! - Weidong |
