[Bug 889198] Re: [Lucid] pbuilder does not support nfs mounts

[Daniel Betschart]

No, I had not the possibility to test under a new version. So I tryed it
on an other machine.

Until now I used pbuilder and pbuilder-dist with sudo, because pbuilder
creates a directory under /var/cache which is not writeable as normal
user. The pbuilder-dist directory is normally created in the home
directory, but I don't want it there so I placed it under /var/cache
with the same permissions as /var/cache/pbuilder.

Perhaps I forgot that NFS squashes root, so now I work with the option
no_root_sqash in /etc/exports on the NFS server. Also I have changed the
permissions of /var/cache/pbuilder and /var/cache/pbuilder-dist so I can
read and write as normal user.

Under this circumstances pbuilder-dist can now build a package.

Title:
  [Lucid] pbuilder does not support nfs mounts

Status in “pbuilder” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Using pbuilder-dist on a nfs mounted directory it says
  W: /home/dbet1/.pbuilderrc does ot exist
  E: Command line parameter [name of the dsc file] is not a valid .dsc file name

  I have searched for the file which prints out the last message. I have
  found it in /usr/lib/pbuilder-buildpackage. The message is printed
  because the check that the file exists does not return true.

  If I copy the source to a non nfs mounted directory pbuilder-dist
  runs.

  Description: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS Release: 10.04
  pbuilder 0.196ubuntu1
