open-iscsi fails to install

[Pau Garcia Quiles]

Launchpad-buildd fails to build packages which depend on open-iscsi due to this error:

Setting up open-iscsi (2.0.865-1) ...
 * iSCSI requires a mounted sysfs, not started.
invoke-rc.d: initscript open-iscsi, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing open-iscsi (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[...]
Errors were encountered while processing:
 open-iscsi
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
apt-get failed.
[...]

And the build is not started.

I don't know the autobuilders configuration but this *might* be a duplicate of bug #208441

Package builds fine on a Gutsy pbuilder in my laptop.

Does the installation still fail if /sys is mounted?

I'm not 100% sure because I don't know the configuration of the Launchpad builder machines.

On my system and on the pbuilders on my system, /sys is mounted and open-scsi installs fine.

On the Launchpad builder machines (for instance, Samarium), open-iscsi does not install. Is /sys mounted on those machines? I don't know.

I'm setting the launchpad-buildd status to incomplete and assigning to Adam. I've chatted with Celso and he told me that Lamont or Infinity would be able to answer this bug appropriately.

Fixed by open-iscsi 2.0.865-1ubuntu4.

[Jesper Krogh (jesper)]

But ubuntu4 hasn't been uploaded to hardy.. so the bug is still present in hardy (just hit it)

The launchpad-buildd issue seems to be fixed.

@Jesper: can you discuss with Soren if the backport is required and legitimate ?
