Title:
pbuilder: remove_packages() checks for existence in host, not in
chroot
Status in pbuilder package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in pbuilder source package in Yakkety:
Fix Committed
Status in pbuilder package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The fix:
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pbuilder/pbuilder.git/commit/?id=bf1acdc
[Impact]
The remove_packages() function in pbuilder-modules contains:
if (dpkg -s "$pkg" 2>&1)>/dev/null ; then
This obviously must
if ($CHROOTEXEC dpkg -s "$pkg" 2>&1)>/dev/null ; then
This causes remove_packages() to try to remove packages that are not
present, actually making the function not working at all in some
circumstances, leading to crashes; or anyway, it causes it to try to
remove packages from the chroot even when they are not there.
[Test Case]
2 ways:
1)
* get a sarge chroot, or anyway around that time
* assuming you have pbuilder installed on the host and not in the chroot,
run:
pbuilder u --removepackages pbuilder
* pbuilder crashes
2)
* get a regular chroot of something common these days
* run `pbuilder u --removepackages pbuilder`
* notice how it tries to remove pbuilder from inside the chroot (it
shouldn't even try)
[Regression Potential]
* for yakkety, no potential regression, this is a targeted fix.
