From d57f25403559f8c68edab73f607616fa77cf644d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marty Kandes <mkandes@sdsc.edu> Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2021 21:52:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Create ~/.rpmmacros file on install for Ubuntu operating systems This temporary (?) fix [1] allows yum-based bootstrapping of Singularity containers on Ubuntu (and/or Debian-based) operating systems. [1] ubuntu@singualrity-ubuntu-builder:~/naked-singularity/definition-files/centos$ sudo singularity build centos-7.9.2009.sif Singularity.centos-7.9.2009 INFO: Starting build... FATAL: While performing build: conveyor failed to get: while checking rpm path: RPM database is using a weird path: %(bash You are probably running this bootstrap on Debian or Ubuntu. There is a way to work around this problem: Create a file at path /home/ubuntu/.rpmmacros. Place the following lines into the '.rpmmacros' file: %_var /var %_dbpath %{_var}/lib/rpm After creating the file, re-run the bootstrap.
