Explain the error building 3.2?

[Tim W]

I have been trying to build a 3.2 iso and keep getting errors. Did something change in the respository over say the last 3-4 days that could have effected it.

About 4 days ago I had no trouble building 3.2 ISO a standard ISO build. Actually built 4.0rc4 as well.

The last two days I have been having issues building 3.2 have not tried 4.0 yet.

At first I thought it was because I was choosing extra templates but they were all Fedora and Debain ones. But still I was choosing FC23,25,26 standard and minimal, Stretch standard and minimal, Whonix. Figured maybe something weird but tonight I just tried the build that worked just 4-5 days go and its failing as well. Its FC25,26 Stretch Standard and minimal, Whonix.

Every time I try to build the ISO with these templates it fails during the building of component 'linux-template-builder' on the stretch build section.

I get the the following errors in the template-stretch.log file. The Component fails on the stretch standard template build. All the Fedoras are good has not gotten to whonix yet for that component.

Also ensured there was enough private user space @ 120gig

I also completely wiped out and re clones the build environment (qubes-builder) multiple times.

My build finally finished running; got the same fatal error you did.

Might be some kind of interaction between

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-agent-linux/commit/00e846bbbe581aceeeaf4a8369748d4ff450b1b0.

Want to open an issue on it?

Yes I think so or at least I will post it over on devel. Those update I think are likely the root of it. Maybe something small but the errors seem to fit.

I will post it over on dev and git.
