build_package fails on install

[gerritbi...@gmail.com]

Hello

I am trying to build using the cros_sdk version 1068.10.0. I do this in a privileged docker container.
Currently I am stuck at the build_packages step, seems a permission problem with installation.
A lot of packages are already build, but util-linux keeps failing.
I don't get the reason clear because it is internal in the chroot so the rights shall be no problem?.

Error message:

What could be causing this? How to debug this further?

Not sure if related but I see also:

Something is causing the `install` binary to segfault:

Segmentation fault (core dumped) install ...

Not sure what the cause could be, you could try re-installing
coreutils in case it is some corruption and if still a problem try
inspecting core dump under gdb.

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your response. If I enter the chroot (chromite/bin/cros_sdk) and give the exact same command manually to create the directory there is no problem. It is only a problem during build_package.

Hello,

The good news is that my problem is solved. The bad news is that I bothered you for nothing.
The problem was a combination of CentOS 7.2 and OverlayFS. I switched to Fedora and now the docker images builds without any problems.

Thanks for your support.
