Purging chroot-autobuild/build/buildd/live-manual-3.0~a6

live-manual 1:3.0~a7-1 shows the same failure.

[Matt Fischer (mfisch)]

I have tracked down the issue, it is because that inside the chroot the environment (specifically LC_ALL is set to "C") and so when it tries to process the manuals for the other languages, like de, it bails when it sees invalid "US ASCII characters". Then later on it really fails when it can't find the localized manuals to complete the processing.

What the fix is is that you need to install the us locale in your chroot and setting LC_ALL before the build. I think the key here is that the environment is <somthing.UTF-8, but there's no reason not to use en_US, the other manuals are not broken by this process from what I see.

This failure also explains to me why it builds fine outside a chroot on my dev box or in a regular VM.

I will push a branch for this shortly.

[Matt Fischer (mfisch)]

I've done a merge proposal and am also attaching a debdiff here.

[Matt Fischer (mfisch)]

Also my fix is for precise which uses revision 1:3.0~a9-1. We'll need to keep this patch as the debian top-of-tree exhibits the same error.

Not sure this is worth a SRU as the binay package has never been published for Oneiric. Uploading anyway, and will let the archive admin decide.

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

It is up to ubuntu-sru to decide on SRUs, subscribed. In oneiric-proposed awaiting decision.

Hello Matthias, or anyone else affected,

Accepted live-manual into oneiric-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Hi,

As you can see at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/live-manual/1:3.0~a7-1ubuntu0.1, the package builds fine. As It's still waiting in New, I cant validate that it installs fine.

Not sure I can change it to verification-done....

Fabrice

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]
