Can you look at the detailed build logs?

Often, when tests fail to build in our chroot, that’s because:

  • they refer to absolute file names (/usr/bin/modprobe,
    /lib/modules/xxx, etc.)

  • they have scripts with shebangs pointing to a file missing in the
    chroot (#!/usr/bin/env, #!/bin/bash, etc.)

  • they attempt to do name lookups, which fails because the chroot
    lacks /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/services, etc.

If that is the case, a phase must be inserted before the ‘check’ phase
to adjust the faulty files.

HTH,
Ludo’.
