Debian 7.1 unable to "apt-get upgrade"

[mircsicz]

Hi there,

installed a Debian jail, and can't upgrade it:

Code:

(Reading database ... 25437 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace initscripts 2.88dsf-41+deb7u1 (using .../initscripts_2.88dsf-41+deb7u1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement initscripts ...
Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-41+deb7u1) ...
mount: unknown filesystem type 'none'
dpkg: error processing initscripts (--install):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Processing triggers for man-db ...
fopen: Permission denied
Errors were encountered while processing:
initscripts

By manually commenting out some parts of:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/initscripts.postinst

and manually running:
dpkg --configure initscripts

I got it to work...

But to finish the upgrade I had to remove "grub-pc"

So if there's a way to modify the template I'ld be very willing to get that template on a more reliable state...

Please create a bug report at bugs.freenas.org that contains the list of modification needed for the template. Post the bug number here.

Hello!

Is there an update on this topic? I ran into the same problem today.

Probably not since a ticket wasn't made on the problem. Keep in mind that there's some internal discussion about getting rid of linux jails because of limitations in the virutalization of linux. 32-bit, random problems with the virtualization layer, etc. This isn't a guarantee they are going away, but there is some discussion going on.

I found there was a lot of issues with the linux jails and eventually decided against using them. Now that we have a working solution for virtual box, anything that I need to run on my freenas server that does not have a freeBSD port I can just create a VM.

I've got the same Problem with a new Debian Jail.
My Solution:

aptitude purge grub-pc linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae

These Packages aren't useful in a BSD Jail anyway. Who is the Maintainer of the Templates? Maybe he can do an Update of the Debian one.
