The error message and its location in the source [1]:<br>
<br>
/* Map the header and all the administration data structures. */<br>
p = mmap64 (NULL, total, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);<br>
if (p == MAP_FAILED)<br>
{<br>
int errval = errno;<br>
unlink (fname);<br>
error (EXIT_FAILURE, errval, _("cannot map archive header"));<br>
}<br>
<br>
... suggest that the problem is that localegen is trying to do a shared<br>
writeable mmap. These do not work on jffs2 [2].<br>
<br>
I don't know the best way to proceed, but it would appear we need to<br>
raise the issue with upstream. It will not be fixed in jffs2.<br>
<br>
That said, I am running debxo 0.3 base and not seeing the same error<br>
messages. (I see that the locale is set to "POSIX" immediately after<br>
installation.)</blockquote><div><br>This is very odd.<br><br>I do not experience this problem right after install, but only after updating, locale is set to a new version, which may be when this bug is introduced. <br><br>
