I am testing using the devtools scripts I created the chroot according to the developer wiki:Building_in_a-Clean_Chroot modified the pacman.conf as follows: [CORE] Server = file:///home/CORE [EXTRA] Server = file:///home/EXTRA these point inside the chroot I built bcm43xx-fwcutter as a test and which succeeded I placed the package into /home/CORE in the chroot and ran repo -add CORE.db.tar.gz *.pkg.* to create the repo db file then trying to build the broadcomm firmware which requires bcm43xx-fwcutter I get sudo makechrootpkg -c -r /home/Build.Chroot/ building union chroot moving build files to chroot Setting PKGDEST in makepkg.conf Setting SRCDEST in makepkg.conf allowing 'nobody' sudo rights in the chroot mounting sysfs : /sys mounting procfs : /proc binding device nodes : /dev binding pacman cache : /var/cache/pacman copying mtab : /etc/mtab copying resolv.conf : /etc/resolv.conf starting chroot (/chrootbuild) ==> Making package: b43-firmware 4.150.10.5-1 any (Sat Mar 21 12:54:45 UTC 2009) ==> Checking Runtime Dependencies... ==> Checking Buildtime Dependencies... ==> Installing missing dependencies... b43-fwcutter package not found, searching for group... error: 'b43-fwcutter': not found in sync db ==> ERROR: Pacman failed to install missing dependencies. cleaning up mounts Moving completed package file to /home/SVN/repos/Projects/Desktop/extra/broadcom.firmware mv: cannot stat `/home/Build.Chroot/union/pkgdest/b43-firmware-4.150.10.5-1-*.pkg.tar.gz': No such file or directory Build failed, check $CHROOT_DIR/rw/build cleaning up unioned mounts shouldn't pacman have found b43-fwcutter packages in the chroot? Or am I missing something?
