[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#742283: supermin: internal error: assertion failed at dpkg.ml, line 86, char 19

[Richard W.M. Jones]

I am able to reproduce this bug with supermin 5.1.5 by doing:

$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install attr:i386
$ sudo apt-get install xfsprogs

(Note that xfsprogs requires attr.)

After that:

$ dpkg-query --show --showformat '${Package} ${Version} ${Architecture}\n' | grep attr
attr 1:2.4.47-1 i386
libattr1 1:2.4.47-1 amd64
libattr1 1:2.4.47-1 i386
libattr1-dev 1:2.4.47-1 amd64

Now to reproduce the bug, do:

$ supermin --version
supermin 5.1.5
$ supermin --prepare attr xfsprogs -o /tmp/supermin.d
supermin: internal error: assertion failed at dpkg.ml, line 86, char 19

However, using supermin 5.1.6 does not produce the assertion failure,
and I am able to prepare and build an appliance:

$ git describe
v5.1.6
$ ./src/supermin --prepare attr xfsprogs -o /tmp/supermin.d
$ ./src/supermin --build /tmp/supermin.d -o /tmp/appliance.d -f chroot

So I think you should try upgrading to 5.1.6 to fix this bug.

Rich.
