/usr/sbin exists in filesystem

Costinio · 2015-04-24 09:17:48

Hey Archers,

I tried to build this package from AUR [ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jailkit/ ] and I get the error:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
jailkit: /usr/sbin exists in filesystem

Any suggestions?

You seem to have given one yourself on the AUR page (unless it's another Costinio):

Also I think the executables inside /usr/sbin have to be moved to /usr/bin because during installation I get this one:

If you want suggestions for that, the first thing to try would be passing --sbindir=/usr/bin to configure.

Pacman has to install all binaries in /usr/bin, as this is only non symlink dir (not counting /usr/local). Pacman does not follow symlinks and /bin /sbin /usr/sbin are all symlinks to /usr/bin owned by package filesystem. So if you tell pacman to install to /bin it would see a file owned by filesystem, not a symlink to proper director. As a result you have to install to /usr/bin.

Hey guys,

Thanks for your answers

Raynman, yes the post in AUR is also mine and yes I had solved the first issue already. Thanks for the suggestion on the /usr/sbin issue, I'm trying your solution asap.

Didn't work, unfortunately

configure: error: python not found please install python

python2 is in place (/usr/bin/python2) and can be found by the configure script when I omit the --sbindir parameter.

Did you forget to put a backslash after it so the next line gets included?

Brilliant! I had ommited that and it messed up.
But there's more, unfortunately. It seems the /usr/sbin directory is hardcoded somewhere and I can't find where.

For example this piece of code inside the Makefile:

install:
${INSTALL} -d -m 755 ${DESTDIR}${iniprefix}
for file in ${INIFILES} ; do \
if [ -f ${DESTDIR}${iniprefix}$${file} ]; then \
${INSTALL} -m 0644 ini/$${file} ${DESTDIR}${iniprefix}$${file}.dist ;\
else \
${INSTALL} -m 0644 ini/$${file} ${DESTDIR}${iniprefix} ;\
fi ;\
done
@cd src/ && $(MAKE) install
@cd py/ && $(MAKE) install
@cd man/ && $(MAKE) install
# test if the jk_chrootsh is already in /etc/shells
# this previously had @echo but that fails on FreeBSD
if test -w /etc/shells; then \
if ! grep ${prefix}/sbin/jk_chrootsh /etc/shells ; then \
echo "appending ${prefix}/sbin/jk_chroots to /etc/shells";\
echo ${prefix}/sbin/jk_chrootsh >> /etc/shells ;\
fi \
fi

produces this output when compiling:

More specifically, these lines from the output:

are produced by this one in the makefile:

@cd src/ && $(MAKE) install

and I can't seem to figure out where the sbin directory comes from

Lone_Wolf · 2015-04-28 20:18:42

Looks like upstream never anticipated someone would use the --sbindir option, atleast one of the makefiles in the subdirs overrides the --sbindir variable .

Check src/jailkit-2.17/py/Makefile , there may be more that override sbindir.
