Title: fakechroot in CorePure64
Post by: Zhurman on June 30, 2025, 08:17:31 AM

Hi, I needed fakechroot for my Tiny Core system, so I manually packaged it from the Arch Linux repo. I also added the full packages of glibc and libxcrypt to include the necessary shared libraries (*.so files). After loading the extensions and trying to run fakechroot, I got a segmentation fault three times, and it usually breaks the system - only sudo poweroff still works properly.

Here’s my .dep file:
readline.tcz 
ncursesw.tcz 
glibc.tcz 
gdbm.tcz 
db.tcz 
libxcrypt.tcz 
fakeroot.tcz 
coreutils.tcz 
util-linux.tcz 

Also, running ldd on fakechroot causes a segmentation fault with the same result.

What can I do to get fakechroot working correctly? Or is writing my own minimal implementation a more valid solution?

[EDIT] I also see the Alpine Linux, maybe I start work with this?

Hi Zhurman
Welcome to the forum.

When asking for help, it's usually a good idea to include:
Tinycore version i.e TC14, TC15, TC16, etc.
Architecture i,e, x86, x86_64, arm, aarch64
The exact command that is causing the issue.

Grabbing binaries from other distros can be a hit or miss exercise.

Did you try running it with the  -s  option:

Code: [Select]

fakechroot -s ...
Or you may have to compile it from source using the Tinycore
toolchain (compiletc.tcz):

OK, sure.
TC16.1, architecture x86_64

That command also give segfaults and breaks my system.
