ubuntu-defaults-builder: only quantal 64bit does not build

[Redmar]

The example for ubuntu-defaults-builder does not build:

By following the man page:
/usr/share/doc/ubuntu-defaults-builder/examples/make-example
ubuntu-defaults-image --package ./defaults-builder-test_0.1_all.deb --components main,restricted,universe

Final part of the logfile:

Rebuilding /usr/share/applications/bamf.index...

[Redmar (redmar)]

It looks like this affects all builds, since building with theDutch customization package also fails

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Csaba Pető (phace)]

Same problem with ubuntu-defaults-builder 0.45.
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit

[Redmar (redmar)]

I've done some more testing, and it appears this only happens for building Quantal 64 bit, no matter which customizations are used. For example, building the example on Q64bit with --arch i368 works, building on Q32 with --arch amd64 fails.

I'll test if this bug occurs for raring next

[Redmar (redmar)]

This bug does not occur for raring, 32 or 64 bit.

Closing Raring task since it occurs only on Quantal

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

I see the following error:
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).

This appears to be an issue with grub versus the kernel. I'll add a grub2 bug task for review.

[Redmar (redmar)]

The following error:
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)

also occurs in succesfull builds, so it would seem this is not a fatal error. I've also attached the log for a succesfull Quantal 32 bit build. This image was build on up-to-date raring.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

quantal has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the quantal task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".

[Marcus Tomlinson (marcustomlinson)]

This release of Ubuntu is no longer receiving maintenance updates. If this is still an issue on a maintained version of Ubuntu please let us know.

[Expired for grub2 (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
