How to create missing debs for jammy 32 bit?

This description was done using version v0.5 and later v0.6 of "lxc-ubuntu-32bit".

create-32bit-image.sh jammy

Just try to create the image:

$ create-32bit-image.sh jammy
...

Try it out:

$ lxc image import jammy-v0.5-lxcimage.tar.gz --alias jammy-import
$ lxc launch jammy32 jammy-import
$ lxc ls jammy32
+---------+---------+------+------+-----------+-----------+
|  NAME   |  STATE  | IPV4 | IPV6 |   TYPE    | SNAPSHOTS |
+---------+---------+------+------+-----------+-----------+
| jammy32 | RUNNING |      |      | CONTAINER | 0         |
+---------+---------+------+------+-----------+-----------+

So: No IP address unfortunately!

Cleanup:

$ lxc delete --force jammy32
$ lxc image delete jammy-import

Use the debs from "focal"

So: There is no easy way, we have to build the debs on our own!

Building The Debs

According to my experiences from the past, we need this deb:

netplan.io

Within this pagagraph, I describe how to build it.

Create The Non-working Image Keeping Intermediate Folders

Note: I'm using v0.6 for this! I've done some experiments based on "fakeroot" and "fakechroot", but there seem to exist some issues related to using a 32 bit chroot within a 64 bit host environment.

Create the image and the build folder:

$ cd .../lxc-ubuntu-32bit-v0.6
$ ./create-32bit-image.sh -k jammy jammy-build
...

  # There is a folder named "jammy-build" afterwards

Mount And Configure Build Chroot

$ cat jammy-build/etc/apt/sources.list|sed -e "s/^deb /deb-src /"|sudo tee jammy-build/etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-src.list >/dev/null
$ sudo mkdir jammy-build/src
$ sudo ./mount.sh jammy-build
$ sudo chroot jammy-build apt-get update

$ sudo chroot jammy-build apt-get install -y dpkg-dev
  # installs "dpkg-source" required by "apt-get source ..."

Running A Test Build

$ PACKAGE=(package-name)
$ sudo chroot jammy-build bash -c "cd /src && mkdir '${PACKAGE}' && cd '${PACKAGE}' && apt-get source '${PACKAGE}' && apt-get build-dep '${PACKAGE}'"
$ sudo chroot jammy-build bash -c "cd '/src/${PACKAGE}/'*/. && dpkg-buildpackage"

Typically, these are the outcomes:

The build succeeds without any issue
The build preparation fails because of missing dependencies -> build the dependencies
The build fails (not observed so far)

Running Test Build Of netplan.io

$ PACKAGE=netplan.io
$ sudo chroot jammy-build bash -c "cd /src && mkdir '${PACKAGE}' && cd '${PACKAGE}' && apt-get source '${PACKAGE}' && apt-get build-dep '${PACKAGE}'"
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 builddeps:netplan.io : Depends: python3-coverage but it is not installable
                        Depends: python3-netifaces but it is not installable
                        Depends: pandoc but it is not installable
                        Depends: openvswitch-switch but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So there are missing dependencies. We have to build these and come back to "netplan.io" once all of them are ready!

Tree Of Missing Debs

Here is the consolidated list of missing debs:

netplan.io
- python3-coverage
- python3-netifaces
- pandoc
  - ghc
    - ghc
- openvswitch-switch
  - libdpdk-dev
    - libfdt-dev
    - libibverbs-dev
      - pandoc

Special Case pandoc

Tryining to build pandoc leads to the dependency "ghc" (somehow related to Haskall) which has a dependency to itself. Currently, I have no idea on how to continue here, so I'm going to modify all packages depending on pandoc. I'll remove pandoc from these.

Building libibverbs-dev

We know that libibverbs-dev depends on pandoc for building. So we have to patch it...

$ PACKAGE=libibverbs-dev

  # Later on, we will detect that we need "rdma-core", too. So we install it, too!
