flex-builder build failure

[penman]

I am building flexbuilder_lsdk on Ubuntu 18.04 with:

flex-builder -i clean

flex-builder -i clean-rfs

flex-builder -i repo-update

flex-builder -m ls1046ardb -a arm64

and the build fails with the message:

installing for second-stage ...
I: Keyring file not available at /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg; switching to https mirror https://deb.debian.org/debian
I: Installing core packages...
W: Failure trying to run:  dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.44_arm64.deb
W: See //debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package /var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.44_arm64.deb is at fault)

Here is the output of the debootstrap.log

How can this error be resolved?

Your command sequence is correct.

Perhaps LSDK 1906 was not fully installed.

Use the following command sequence for LSDK 1906 installing under Ubuntu 8.04:

LSDK-1906 User Guide recommends the following command sequence for LSDK and Flex-build using:

1 .sudo apt-get install git

2. tar xvzf flexbuild_lsdk1906.tgz
3. source setup.env
4. flex-builder -i mkrfs -a arm64
5. flex-builder -c linux -a arm64

6 .flex-builder -i mklinux -a arm64 // .itb file

7. flex-builder -i mkfw -m ls1046ardb -b sd // .img file is result of this command

Have a great day,
