Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have cloned the root fs and /usr onto a new machine (as I have done |
| 4 |
many times before) |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I boot SystemRescueCD and mount the new root on, say, /nroot |
| 7 |
Then my standard procedure is as follows |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
mount -o bind /proc /nroot/proc |
| 10 |
mount -o bind /dev /nroot/proc |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
chroot /nroot /bin/bash |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab |
| 15 |
mount /usr |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
env-update |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
and finally |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
source /etc/profile |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
BUT, this time, env-update fails because it cannot |
| 24 |
import site |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
the error being |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
TypeError stat() argument 1 must be an encoded string without NULL |
| 29 |
bytes. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Has anybody an explanation for this failure? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
(the system is bleeding edge ~amd64, eselected python-2.6 |
| 34 |
(python-2.6.6-r1) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Many thanks for a hint, |
| 37 |
Helmut. |
