pbuilder problems
Hi :)
I'm trying to setup pbuilder on one of my virtual Hurd
systems. Problem is that debootstrap eventually dies:
/var/cache/apt/archives/readline-common_6.2+dfsg-0.1_all.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/xz-utils_5.1.1alpha+20120614-2_hurd-i386.deb
(Reading database ... 6919 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking apt (from .../apt_0.9.8.2_hurd-i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/apt_0.9.8.2_hurd-i386.deb (--unpack):

[.. more errors like this..]
I suspect that something funny goes on in the rootfs translator (it's
an one filesystem setup, maybe I should create another filesystem to
protect the rootfs), b/c I end up with an mostly empty /dev:
% ls /dev
cons fd null vcs
Not sure if anything else got corrupted, I noticed the /dev issue b/c
it renders the system unbootable. Fortunately reinstalling the hurd
package fixes this. I've been able to reproduce this whole issue once.
Then again, it could be some mach issue b/c the network connection
also dies shortly after the this and the system is in a bad
shape. E. g. ls /proc shows /proc/meminfo, but opening that file fails
with no such file.
The Debian/Hurd system is an up-to-date debian/sid
debian-ports/unreleased system. It has 512 megs of RAM and 300 megs
swap, all of which is unused. vmstat shows 200 megs of free RAM
*now*. The system is still running and accessible via console. Any
hints how to debug this further would be appreciated.
Fwiw the host is Debian/Linux wheezy, virtualization is
libvirt/kvm. kvm invocation:

Am I missing something?
