Re: Trouble with running on non-debian systems.
Spoke too soon.... there were errors related to /dev/pts, not sure if
those are significant?
[2020-11-27 04:13:18] lb chroot_devpts install
P: Begin mounting /dev/pts...
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on devpts-live,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Then the script chokes again because the host system has an old rsync,
which does not support --chown:
P: Begin copying chroot includes after packages have been installed...
P: Copying includes.chroot into chroot using rsync...
rsync: --chown=0:0: unknown option
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1459) [client=3.0.9]
E: An unexpected failure occurred, exiting...
Here's a diff to discuss:

Further to this, after commenting out the package check in
/usr/lib/live/build/bootstrap_debootstrap, I got a further error about
/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg not being available.
So I copied /usr/share/keyrings/ from the debian-archive-keyring deb,
it's now getting a lot further. I'm guessing it will now get to
completion.
Seems like some fairly simple fixes to keep it working on non-deb
systems, e.g. checking for the binary instead of the package, and
working around not having the gpg files available.
Thanks,
Alex

I am trying to run it on a centos6 system. I have all the stated
requirements. Live build is installed via git clone and make
install. running lb build I get:
...
[2020-11-27 03:15:22] lb bootstrap_debootstrap
P: Begin bootstrapping system...
E: You need to install debootstrap on your host system.
E: An unexpected failure occurred, exiting...
I had debootstrap 1.0.100 or so rpm installed (from epel?) I thought
that may be too old, so I removed that and installed debootstrap
1.0.123 by extracting the deb straight to the filesystem. Now I have:
[root@el6 ~]# debootstrap --version
debootstrap 1.0.123
[root@el6 ~]# which debootstrap
/usr/sbin/debootstrap
Exact same result, "You need to install debootstrap...."
Reading through /usr/lib/live/build/bootstrap_debootstrap, it's
running "Check_package host bin/debootstrap debootstrap"
Reading through /usr/share/live/build/functions/packages.sh, it's
running dpkg-query to find if the package is installed.
It looks like this is never going to work other than on deb based
systems, and the manual on the above URL is simply inconsistent with
reality....
Any hints? Web page need updating?
Thanks,
Alex
