[SOLVED] Debian 10 Buster LTS fails build on DAB LXC

[apmuthu]

Although the Buster standard 64 bit DAB build files have been moved to archive at https://github.com/proxmox/dab-pve-appliances/tree/master/archive/debian-10-buster-std-64 it is still LTS and now fails to build in standard DAB on PVE 8.2 at the dab bootstrap line itself.

The default-dbus-session-bus seems to be part of the dbus-user-session package as in:
https://packages.debian.org/buster/default-dbus-session-bus

Looks like I have to use an earlier built package or use the --minimal option or use Frieder's customised template

it is still LTS

No, it's not. LTS ended on june 30 2024, so roughly 10 days ago.

Thanks for the info.

How can the Cloned Template disk images be copied over to another proxmox machine?

Solved with modifying the dab.conf file to use the archive repo making the it to be:

The Debian 10 (Buster) release was LTS and that ended on June 30th, 2024

The new /etc/apt/sources.list is

You may want to change all deb.debian.org entries to archive.debian.org, buster will eventually be removed from default Debian repositories and it is already in the archive. You can leave the security entry as it is, there will be LLTS/extended LTS security fixes for buster and the security archive is not migrated to archive yet. So this yields:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian buster-backports main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ buster/updates main contrib non-free

This will be valid until there are not more LLTS / extended LTS fixes for buster, which will be according to the schedule in 2029

The virtual package default-dbus-session-bus is missing in the repo even in the archive one.
The workaround is to manually install the packages that it refers to in the Makefile like:

#    # As virtual package default-dbus-session-bus missing
#    # https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=154000
    dab install dbus-x11 dbus-user-session zip unzip mlocate

The line for debian security repo is:
deb https://security.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main contrib non-free

The whole DAB fileset build list is in my repo at:
https://github.com/apmuthu/dab-pve-appliances/tree/master/archive/debian-10-buster-std-64

 

[LnxBil]

The line for debian security repo is:
deb https://security.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main contrib non-free

Both work.
