Unable to build from Debian

[dbillon]

Hi,

I have tried to build VyOS using this repo and Debian 12 (Parallels VM running Debian 12 on a Macbook M2).

It stopped with the following error:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 vyos-1x : Depends: fuse-overlayfs but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: telegraf (>= 1.20) but it is not installable
           Depends: chrony but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: An unexpected failure occurred, exiting...
P: Begin unmounting filesystems...
P: Saving caches...

Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done

Any idea ?

Thanks, Damien.

I just pushed an update which should build, can you try it?

Previously the package build carried on there was a build failure for an individual package, it should now exit immediately if there is an issue.

A couple of packages in vyos-build had issues or patches which have been fixed upstream, and the git commits had to be adjusted accordingly.

Hi Mathew,

I've tried to build VyOS with this update and I have a new error:

Hi @dbillion

I have just pushed a fresh version to the rolling_ci branch.
Can you try that one?

Make sure that the vyos-build submodule is updated at the same time, it should have commit mcbridematt/vyos-build@5ef00d2

If kea still fails to compile, try doing this:

1. Run sudo clean.sh to clear out the entire tree
2. Enter the vyos build container with docker exec -i -t .... /bin/bash -l
3. Go to the kea folder:
   cd /tmp/vyos-build-arm64/vyos-build/packages/kea
4. Run the kea build:
   lua /tmp/vyos-build-arm64/runjenkins.lua

I am aware of issues with some packages having conflicting dependencies, and sometimes failing to build. Eventually the package build needs to be restructured like Jenkins so that each of the vyos-build child packages are built in their own container.
