[lxc-devel] ATTENTION openSUSE Tumbleweed users: do not create containers

Hi everyone,

sorry if this turns out to be my fault, but on both of my openSUSE
Tumbleweed machines lxc starts deleting rpms from the *host* system
during container creation.

Sic.

I found out (after reinstalling one system and reinstalling some rpms
on another one) that this starts in the following step (around line 168):

> CLEAN_BUILD=1 BUILD_ARCH="$arch" BUILD_ROOT="$cache/partial-$arch" 
> BUILD_DIST="$cache/partial-$arch-packages/opensuse.conf" 
> PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/build" /usr/lib/build/init_buil\ dsystem 
> --clean --configdir /usr/lib/build/configs --cachedir 
> $cache/partial-$arch-cache --repository 
> $cache/partial-$arch-packages/var/cache/zypp/packages/repo-oss/suse/$arch
>
> 
- --r\ epository
> $cache/partial-$arch-packages/var/cache/zypp/packages/repo-oss/suse/noarch
>
> 
- --repository
> $cache/partial-$arch-packages/var/cache/zypp/packages/update/$arch 
> --repository $c\ 
> ache/partial-$arch-packages/var/cache/zypp/packages/update/noarch 
> || return 1

I modified the template, and exited the creation before this step.
Running this command from a shell (with correctly set variables
$cache, $arch) shows this:

After this lines it starts to delete. On one machine it starts
alphabetically (Delete a2ps...), on the other it starts with Mesa.

I'll dig deeper into this and report back. Would be good if someone
could confirm this (saving the list of installed rpms via rpm
- -qa|sort-n > somefile.txt is obviously a good idea). Although I would
rather no one can confirm and this is some error on my machines... ;-)

Regards,
Johannes
