The maintainers for the vserver packages in Debian haven't really kept it up to date so I don't suggest using their sources to build a new version of util-vserver. I don't recommend trying to replace diffutils with diff, as diffutils relies on newer versions of libc6 then old-stable provides. It looks like in your build, you have inconsistent depends in your control file. > > 3/ on lenny the > > util-vserver-sysv_0.30.216-pre3004-1_amd64.deb > > if i replace diffutils by diff in the dependancy list and do a > dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot it is then a broken package that is not > containing the start script it has only: > > # dpkg --contents util-vserver-sysv_0.30.216-pre3004-1_amd64.deb > drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2012-02-17 00:40 ./ > drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2012-02-17 00:40 ./usr/ > drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2012-02-17 00:40 ./usr/share/ > drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2012-02-17 00:40 ./usr/share/doc/ > drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2012-02-17 00:40 > ./usr/share/doc/util-vserver-sysv/ > -rw-r--r-- root/root 1383 2011-11-29 22:34 > ./usr/share/doc/util-vserver-sysv/copyright > -rw-r--r-- root/root 158 2011-11-29 22:35 > ./usr/share/doc/util-vserver-sysv/changelog.Debian.gz > -rw-r--r-- root/root 108592 2011-11-29 22:35 > ./usr/share/doc/util-vserver-sysv/changelog.gz > > > i lack all those file i have on the squeeze version: > > -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1603 2012-01-03 21:48 > ./usr/lib/util-vserver/vsysvwrapper > -rw-r--r-- root/root 2925 2012-01-03 21:48 > ./usr/lib/util-vserver/vserver-init.functions > -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1959 2012-01-03 21:48 > ./usr/lib/util-vserver/vserver-wrapper > -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1516 2012-01-03 21:48 ./etc/init.d/vprocunhide > -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1546 2012-01-03 21:48 > ./etc/init.d/vservers-default > -rwxr-xr-x root/root 2254 2012-01-03 21:48 ./etc/init.d/util-vserver > > i do not know how to debug this, the only error in compilation that i > can see (many lines so perhaps missed more) are: You're build, while completing through the debian/rules file, did not actually build any of the content (possibly through awkward fakeroot-ness or poor error checking in the makefile). > > If you want to know why building package for lenny this is because i > need to upgrade to a newer kernel but cannot upgrade to squeeze (grub > issue in squeeze that prevent booting with soft RAID). > > > regards, > Ghislain. > I don't see why you can't still build a new kernel with the old util-vserver packages. But, if you want a more consistent/newer util-vserver package. I suggest looking here: http://repo.psand.net/info/ http://repo.psand.net/info/index_lenny.html
