I am confused about scratchbox and UIDS. I am logged in as user armdevel on Ubuntu and I have added user armdevel to scratchbox. I run /scratchbox/login and I am in scratchbox. However, when I do this: [sbox-SDK_ARMEL: ~] > whoami whoami: cannot find username for UID 1003 It says there is no UID 1003. Sure enough cd to /etc and there is no user armdevel in passwd. Plus any files created show UID 1003 and group 1002. Is this the reason I get the error I reported before: dh_shlibdeps unable to get login information for username "armdevel" at /scratchbox/devkits/debian/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 58. dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 6400 When building mplayer since even whoami cannot find a username for UID 1003? tj
