Attempting to compile a Debian 7 Template using DAB, the following error occurs:
Code: 
unpack: apt-utils
unpack: libsqlite3-0
unpack: libreadline6
unpack: libgssapi-krb5-2
unpack: libkrb5-3
unpack: ssl-cert
unpack: cpio
configure important packages
command 'vzctl exec2 90000 defenv dpkg --force-confold --skip-same-version --configure -a' failed with exit code 1
command 'vzctl exec2 90000 defenv dpkg --force-confold --skip-same-version --configure -a' failed with exit code 1
make: *** [all] Error 1

The code sequence in DAB.pm that trips it is:
Code: 
    # unpack base packages
    foreach my $p (@$important) {
    $self->ve_dpkg ('unpack', $p);
    }

    # start loopback
    $self->ve_command ("ifconfig lo up");

    $self->logmsg ("configure important packages\n");
    $self->ve_command ("dpkg --force-confold --skip-same-version --configure -a");

The Makefile portion for packages to be installed are:
Code: 
BASEDIR:=$(shell dab basedir)

all: info/init_ok
    dab bootstrap
    dab task mysql --password random
    dab install apache2-mpm-prefork apache2
    dab install zip unzip bzip2
    dab task php
    dab install php5-mysql php5-curl php5-xsl screen
...

Any clues?

The standard 64 bit appliances to refer at http://download.proxmox.com/appliances/system/ do not provide any clues.

  • What is the preferred way to make Wheezy 64 bit DAB based template?
  • Should we alter the DAB.pm to fix the version of libbsd0 at v0.4.2-1 (and revert when Debian maintainers rectify this glitch)?
  • wheezy-backports seems to have the upgraded libbsd0 v0.7.0-2~bpo70+1 file.
  • Should we force a dependency ignore? As these files come in with the DAB bootstrap - where do we hold the required version?
  • Even the Makefile based option of forcing a downgrade does not seem possible....
    Code: 
    wget ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libb/libbsd/libbsd0_0.4.2-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i --force-depends-version libbsd0_0.4.2-1_amd64.deb
  • Is there a possibility of using an if...then construct within the Makefile?
  • Where is the DAB bootstrap file list?
    I only hope this is not a repeat of what happened earlier to lenny templating in DAB just to force everyone onto the latest and greatest version of Debian.

When a Standard 64 bit Debian Wheezy v7.0.2 template is used to make an OpenVZ container and gets updated to v7.8.0 from within it, the following versions are available:
Code: 
# dpkg -l libc6 libbsd0 libedit2
||/ Name                        Version            Architecture       Description
+++-===========================-==================-==================-===========================================================
ii  libbsd0:amd64               0.4.2-1            amd64              utility functions from BSD systems - shared library
ii  libc6:amd64                 2.13-38+deb7u8     amd64              Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries
ii  libedit2:amd64              2.11-20080614-5    amd64              BSD editline and history libraries

When a new DAB 64 bit template is created for Wheezy v7.8.0 it errors out during the build process and the build container has the following:
Code: 
# dpkg -l libc6 libbsd0 libedit2
||/ Name                     Version           Architecture      Description
+++-========================-=================-=================-======================================================
iU  libbsd0:amd64            0.7.0-2~bpo70+1   amd64             utility functions from BSD systems - shared library
ii  libc6:amd64              2.13-38+deb7u8    amd64             Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries
iU  libedit2:amd64           2.11-20080614-5   amd64             BSD editline and history libraries
This one fine use of the pvebash script (# pvebash 90000 private) for troubleshooting justifies it's inclusion in the new PVE ISOs.

[SOLVED] Re: DAB 64 bit Template compilation errors

When building 64 bit DAB Wheezy Templates, do not enable the wheezy-backports repo.
It can be enabled after the template is built and/or used.

Attached is the Standard Wheezy 64 bit DAB build files. The build path to place the files in is /var/lib/vz/template/builds/debian7_64
