bash not included when importing bash

[sm8ps]

Please compare the following two steps of  ''sce-import -v bash'' on dCore-trusty:2015.12.19.13.02.

Code: [Select]

/tmp/.pkglist:
ash
bash
gcc-4.9-base
libc6
libgcc1
libtinfo5

Code: [Select]

Proceeding to create bash.sce..
Merging Tiny Core custom start script for ash: ash.deb2sce
Merging ash
Merging gcc-4.9-base

Merging libc6
Merging libtinfo5
Parallel mksquashfs: Using 2 processors
Creating 4.0 filesystem on /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sce/bash.sce, block size 4096.
This all results in "/bb/sh: bash: not found" after ''sce-load bash''. So bash somehow gets lost?! Indeed, '/tmp/tcloop/bash/bin/' only contains 'ash'.

I don't see this on dCore-wheezy or dCore-wily.

EDIT:  I don't see this in dCore-trusty either.

Just tested on dCore-jessie to help out, bash is merged. Using default sceconfig and  sce-import bash  .

Strange thing, isn't it! How can that happen and -- more importantly -- how can I make it work? Any ideas?

[Jason W]

sm8ps - Since bash is being imported ok by others even on your same dCore version, try with a fresh install of no existing tce directory or backup.  Basically a "base norestore" boot and then import bash.  Thanks for testing.

[sm8ps]

Thanks for you reply, Jason! I upgraded to dCore-trusty:2016.01.15.22.50 and this time, ''sce-import bash'' worked like expected.

Cheers!

Will try with boot-code "base norestore" and get back. Mighty strange this is ...

[sm8ps]

No change, unfortunately. Any ideas on how to trouble-shoot this issue?

[sm8ps]

Trying to dig for the source of this error, I looked for debinx files. Don't recall exactly how they work and the wiki
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:handling_extensions
is not very clear at all either.  -- Can somebody guide me as to how the repository files should look like? At present, I have

Code: [Select]

stefan@x200t:/tce$ ll import/debinx/
total 12636

-rw------- 1 root   root   1025080 Jan 21 11:18 ubuntu_trusty_security_i386_PackagesI noticed that the latter two files cannot be read by anybody but root. Does that make sense?

[nitram]

Not sure if any of this helps, for comparison:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/mnt/sdb4/tce/import/debinx$ ll
total 23M
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tc   staff  12M Jan 21 00:29 OLDDEBINX

-rw------- 1 root root  363K Jan 21  2016 debian_jessie_security_i386_Packages

Don't see any OLDDEBINX in your /debinx, maybe you haven't run sce-update -a since the new update changes. Also, my OLDDEBINX by default appears to be tc:staff, not root. Only the repository entries are root:root.

I'm relatively new to dCore but would probably try one or all of the following: temporarily remove /opt/debextra entries, run sce-debpurge or temporarily move all items out of /import/debs, run sce-update -a then try importing bash again. Having said that you already tried a 'base norestore' boot and that wasn't even successful. Have you tried installing from a different mirror?

[Jason W]

I see that "import sce-deb2sce" creates an empty sce-deb2sce.sce file.  I will look into what may be causing it, but it seems to only be that prebuilt packages.  Since it is an sce tool, it can be moved to base, but I wonder why it is not successfully importing so I will look into it.

Thanks, nitram! Your diagnosis indeed is correct; I have let the installation sit for quite a while. I am not near the machine until tomorrow and so will work through your suggestions then.

Would you please double-check to see what happens if you do ''sce-import sce-deb2sce''?

Just trying to help out, only familiar with /usr/bin/deb2sce, never heard of sce-deb2sce but i see it's in prebuilt.

Installed it but it didn't appear to download anything:

Thanks a lot! For your reference: sce-deb2sce was proposed in a forum thread quite a while ago.
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,18510.0.html

I was about to include a section about it in the wiki as I needed it but got stuck while testing/applying it.

[Jason W]

Turns out this is not an issue with anything in the dCore*.gz releases, it is on the server where deb2sce cannot be in the name of a prebuilt package.  I will fix that routine on the server to prevent future errors like this.
