tar/gnulib bug prevents bootstraping Lucid on Dapper, causes Lucid upgrade to abort on older linux kernels (e.g. in a chroot or Xen VM) |
tar: futimens() with a bad file descriptor (AT_FDCWD) causes bootstrapping failure with kernels < 2.6.22 |

Binary package hint: tar
Currently if you try to debootstrap Lucid on anything running a kernel older than 2.6.22, (I've specifically tried on 2.6.18) it fails with stuff like:
# dpkg --force-depends --install var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_5.0.0ubuntu10_amd64.deb var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.22_amd64.deb
tar: ./postinst: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: ./preinst: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: ./conffiles: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: ./md5sums: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: ./control: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: .: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
dpkg-deb: subprocess tar returned error exit status 2
dpkg: error processing var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_5.0.0ubuntu10_amd64.deb (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
tar: ./postinst: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: ./md5sums: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: ./control: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: .: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
dpkg-deb: subprocess tar returned error exit status 2
dpkg: error processing var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.22_amd64.deb (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_5.0.0ubuntu10_amd64.deb
var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.22_amd64.deb
From further investigation, this appears to be due to a bug in tar. |
Binary package hint: tar
Bootstrapping Ubuntu Lucid with debootstrap is currently impossible with any kernel < 2.6.22, due to a bug in tar - specifically it fails because of a change to eglibc.
According to the debian bug report It seems that before eglibc 2.10.2-3, calls to futimens failed silently, however due to a patch made to eglibc 2.10.2-3, if futimens is called without a valid file descriptor, it now fails with an "Bad File Descriptor" error, because the corresponding utimensat() syscall was not added until kernel 2.6.22
Test Case:
1) Boot a kernel older than 2.6.22
2) Attempt to Bootstrap Ubuntu Lucid to any target.
The bootstrap will fail once it attempts to unpack packages with: tar: ./postinst: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
A patch is available (attached in launchpad) originating from the associated debian bug, that ensures that futimens is only called with a valid file descriptor.
A debdiff for 1.22-2 ( changing to 1.22-2ubuntu1 ) will be attached shortly.
