Can not build ISO - dependency problems prevent configuration of vyatta-version

Hi there,

I am having trouble in generating an ISO. I follow all the steps in this guide: Build VyOS — VyOS 1.4.x (sagitta) documentation but it does not work.
It gives me an error about dependencies of vyatta-version on every branch.

When I run sudo make iso it runs for a while, then shows this output:

[code]0 packages upgraded, 290 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 150 MB of archives. After unpacking 470 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
vyatta-cfg: Depends: vyatta-config-migrate which is a virtual package.
vyatta-wanloadbalance: Depends: vyatta-config-migrate which is a virtual package.
dnsmasq: Depends: dnsmasq-base (>= 2.72-3+deb8u2) but it is not going to be installed.
Depends: init-system-helpers (>= 1.18~) which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

  28. vyos-nhrp [Not Installed]    [/code]
    

But the process of making the iso continues. By the end, it throws the error bellow:

Hi,

my builds keep dying as well:

Does anyone know a fix for this?

Best,

I’ve resolved this issue a couple of days ago, this is what was holding us back from making 32-bit 1.1.8 release. The issue was that some architecture-independent packages for some reason didn’t get included in the i386 repository.

Try again, it should work now.

Hi there,

thanks for your quick reply.

I try to build the amd64-vyos flavor. This still does not work. The build process dies with the same errors as described above. I did a git pull before, but no updates there.

Meanwhile I figured out which step it happens in:

[2017-11-13 10:00:22] lb chroot_install-packages install

My config params look like this:

./configure --debian-mirror http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ \ --pbuilder-debian-mirror http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ \ --debian-security-mirror http://security.debian.org/ \ --build-type development \ --architecture amd64 \ --build-by alain flavor=amd64-vyos branch=current sudo make iso

The nightly Lithium builds might be affected by the same issue. No new build since Nov 8th.

Is there anything we can do on client side to “quick fix” this until you have the server side sorted?

Best regards and big fat thanks for all your efforts! VyOS is super cool :slight_smile:

Now that I see it, this thread has been messed up from the beginning: alain and ajeferson are talking about different versions and their build systems. :wink:

ajeferson was having a problem with 32-bit 1.1.x build, and this one should be resolved by now.

alain’s problem is more interesting, I’m looking into it.

Hi alain, I’ve successfullt build an image from the current branch today, after re-building a few packages that ended up broken in the repos. Please do “sudo make purge” just to be sure and then run ./configure and “sudo make iso” again.

Also, I would use a “real” mirror rather than a redirector for the test. If it works with default ./configure options but not with the httpredir host, then we’ll know where the problem is and can investigate it.

Hi, just a quick reply:

thanks for fixing the packages! Teh default build does work now.

However, then I tried to add a custom kernel, and the build fails when trying to greate the initrd.

Unfortunately, the kernel build procedure on https://wiki.vyos.net/wiki/Rebuild_VyOS_kernel_Step is stale. What I did was:

./configure --debian-mirror http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ \ --pbuilder-debian-mirror http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ \ --debian-security-mirror http://security.debian.org/ \ --build-type development \ --architecture amd64 \ --build-by alain branch=current flavor=amd64-vyos git submodule update --init packages/vyos-kernel cd packages/vyos-kernel git checkout $branch cp debian/arch/amd64/config.amd64-vyos make-kpkg --config menuconfig make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --jobs 5 --revision 1 buildpackage cd ../.. sudo make iso

Does anyone have a proven working receipe on how to rebuild the kernel package (and also any other package) from submodules?

Thanks and best regards!
Alain

This works for me.

Hello

I am a new learner for VyOS on Debian 8 Jessie.
I met the installation problem in below. Same as the previous people, I followed by the official link: Build VyOS — VyOS 1.4.x (sagitta) documentation, and executed the following command as per manual required,
cd vyos-build
./configure
make iso

However, it always shows “mdns-repeater” error at last. Can you please help me? Thank you.
