this is a list of last minute errata and other important information around

the images starting with the newest ones first.

see

https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/issues/231#issuecomment-2212464410

and

https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/issues/44#issuecomment-2352929478

to hopefully get this fixed - future images will hopefully have this fixed

it was reported a few months ago already here:

https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/issues/144 but today i ran into it

myself as well: it looks like the debian bookworm cgpt package (required for

creating chromebook style partitions) seems to be broken on the 32bit armv7l

platform (it seems to still work well on the 64bit aarch64 systems). i or

someone else should report this as a bug to debian, but in the meantime the

following should be useable as a workaround (as already pointed out in the

mentioned github issue):

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/v/vboot-utils/cgpt_0~R88-13597.B-1_armhf.deb dpkg -i cgpt_0~R88-13597.B-1_armhf.deb

this will install the bullseye (latest debian stable version before bookworm)

version of cgpt, which is working fine.

due to some messed up permissions on my image build system aarch64 images

from before beginning of march 2023 might come with wrong file and directory

ownerships. to check if an installation is affected and fix the problem in

case it is please run the following commands:

# show all affected files find /bin /boot /etc /lib /opt /root /sbin /scripts /usr -user linux -ls # remove the group writable flag for them find /bin /boot /etc /lib /opt /root /sbin /scripts /usr -user linux -exec chmod g-w {} \; # fix the ownership for them find /bin /boot /etc /lib /opt /root /sbin /scripts /usr -user linux -exec chown root:root {} \; # fix also the symlinks find /bin /boot /etc /lib /opt /root /sbin /scripts /usr -user linux -type l -exec chown -h root:root {} \; # check again - nothing should be left find /bin /boot /etc /lib /opt /root /sbin /scripts /usr -user linux -ls # fix / chmod g-w / chown root:root /

thanks a lot to @shelterx for pointing this out - see:
