[elbe-devel] [PATCH 1/2] dump: follow symlinks, when the archive is unpacked

[Torben Hohn]

In buster, /lib is a link to /usr/lib. When an archive contains file
in /lib, this link is deleted, and /lib only contains the archive
contents. This makes /lib/ld-linux.so become inaccessible.

All subsequents tries to chroot into the RFS yield an error, which
is ignored by elbe (mostly in finetuning).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
running cmd +chroot /var/cache/elbe/65f77d9b-07f6-43f2-b7bf-4890d90153c8/target /bin/sh with STDIN echo 'GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text' | tee -a /etc/default/grub+
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
chroot: failed to run command '/bin/sh': No such file or directory
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Command failed with errorcode 127
Finetuning Error, trying to continue anyways
running cmd +chroot /var/cache/elbe/65f77d9b-07f6-43f2-b7bf-4890d90153c8/target /bin/sh with STDIN sed -i -e 's/RPCNFSDCOUNT=8/RPCNFSDCOUNT="8 --nfs-version 2"/' /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server+
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
chroot: failed to run command '/bin/sh': No such file or directory
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the first error that is not ignored, is when "update-initramfs" during
grub install.

fix it by making tar follow symlinks, when unpacking the archive. (-h)
