Fails on recent Oneiric dailies: mkdir: File exists

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff]

UCK fails on preparing the environment for chroot with the following error:
mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/serioga/tmp/remaster-root/var/run': File exists

I'm running UCK 2.4.4 on Maverick amd64.
Full build log attached.

It seems to me that the cause of this issue is that /var/run in Oneiric dailies is a symlink to /run. UCK checks if it's a directory, determines that it's not and attempts to mkdir it, but that also fails.

Fixed in Subversion on SourceForge (in case you want to get a snapshot from there ;-)

[Wolf Geldmacher (wolf-womaro)]

I've attached the patch I committed - this needs to be applied to /usr/lib/uck/libraries/remaster-live-cd.sh (assuming you have uck/2.4.4 installed). The patch is backwards compatible, i.e. it tries not to break any builds that worked before for Ubuntu versions other than oneiric.

Also happens on 386 systems. Is the patch the same? Is subversion also fixed?

Great software!

Thanks.

this patch is causing some problems to me, i'm rewriting this part of uck

Hmm, I've copy-pasted it to Glimpse already, so if you come up with a better solution, please let me know. I'm also curious what's wrong with the current solution.
