bootstrapp issues with debian

[toufique]

Hello everyone, 

I am new to singularity, trying to bootstrap debian jessie (or I suppose the latest version) . I get the following error when I attempt to bootstrap:

ERROR: debootstrap is not in PATH... Perhaps 'apt-get install' it?

I have the following config file:

DistType: debian

BootStrap: debootstrap

OSVersion: Jessie

MirrorURL: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/

%runscript

    echo "This is what happens when you run the container..."

%post

    apt-get install epel-release

    apt-get install libtool debootstrap xz

    echo "Hello from inside the container"

    apt-get update

    apt-get -y --force-yes install vim

I am sure I am doing something wrong here, not sure what exactly I am doing wrong.  Does any have a working debian config file that I can a take a look at?  

thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Singularity is telling you that you need to install the debootstrap package on your build system.  If your build system is Debian/Ubuntu, you just need to type:

$ sudo apt-get install Debian

If your build system is RHEL/CentOS, you need to type something like this:

$ sudo yum install epel-release

$ sudo yum install debootstrap.noarch

Or if you want you can just use docker as a bootstrap agent and get debian:latest.  Then you don’t need debootstrap on your system.

Try this once 

BootStrap: debootstrap

OSVersion: trusty

MirrorURL: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

%runscript

    echo "This is what happens when you run the container..."

%post

    echo "Hello from inside the container"

Thanks David and Shashi!

Sure thing.  And I just noticed that my auto-correct was very aggressive there.  What I meant to type for an Ubnunt/Debian machine was:

$ sudo apt-get install debootstrap

that yum install debootstrap did the trick :-) , thanks David!
