The contents of the /etc/ directory of your currently selected Scratchbox target come from the rootstrap you've extracted to that Scratchbox target. You could try: sb-conf install --etc Or just copy your host passwd file. Except when creating a target root file system, the contents of the target /etc directory could be what you have on host I think. > 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? - Eero
