Description of problem: revisor gives lots of these messages: cp: cannot stat 'chroot': No such file or directory if I do in console: # stat chroot stat: cannot stat `chroot': No such file or directory I get the same error, but if I do with full path then I don't get this error: # stat /usr/sbin/chroot File: `/usr/sbin/chroot' Size: 18828 Blocks: 48 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 806h/2054d Inode: 84503 Links: 1 Access: (0755/-rwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2008-01-21 15:10:18.000000000 +0100 Modify: 2007-12-05 14:24:59.000000000 +0100 Change: 2007-12-09 13:48:13.000000000 +0100 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Please verify if the package "coreutils" is in the package set.
off course it is # yum install coreutils Package coreutils - 6.9-12.fc8.i386 is already installed.
I also encounter this issue during the "Build isolinux and Installer" step. I tried creating symbolic links to chroot in both /bin and /usr/bin. This did not resolve the "cp: cannot stat `chroot': No such file or directory" message. I am using coreutils-6.9-12.fc8 and revisor-2.0.5-15.fc8. Running "rpm -ql coreutils | grep chroot" confirms that coreutils installs chroot to /usr/sbin/chroot. The coreutils package was also included in the distribution package set.
After finding the --debug flag in /usr/sbin/revisor, I found that the errors are occurring during the following the buildinstall stage of "Build isolinux and Installer". The pertinent debug output was: Initting progress bar for Building Installation Images Setting rundir to /var/tmp/revisor-rundir Running command: /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall --product Fedora --variant f8-i386-custom-local --version 8 --release "Fedora 8" --prodpath Packages /var/tmp/revisor-pungi/8/f8-i386-custom-local/i386/os Extra information: /var/tmp/revisor-rundir False None
After more tracing, the problem seems to lie in /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/upd-instroot script (called from buildinstall) which is in the anaconda-runtime package. I have filed Bug 431392 against the anaconda package since there is not a separate anaconda-runtime package in the bugzilla database.
Reopened that bug after it was closed "RAWHIDE" with the indication that they'll need to be more specific about what is causing this.
