It seems

sed -ri 's/(Package: libgcc1)/\1\nDescription: test\nMaintainer: test\nVersion: 2.19/' /var/lib/dpkg/status

needs to be updated. It appears to have corrupted the file /var/lib/dpkg/status

dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 25 package 'libgcc1':
duplicate value for 'Maintainer' field

I fully agree.

Based on your input, the entries for "Maintainer" and "Version" appear to have already existed and so it does appear to have been an unnecessary change.

dpkg -i multiarch-support_2.28-10_amd64.deb dpkg -i libc6_2.28-10_amd64.deb

This was intended to be two lines in the guide - another typo.

Executing the commands in this way makes dpkg think you're trying to install another file called dpkg, which obviously doesn't exist.

Following your guide

Then, we will need to install one package first in a partial way

dpkg - i (LOCATION_OF_libgcc1)

In return, we get this:

(Reading database ... 369 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack libgcc1_8.3.0-6_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking libgcc1:amd64 (1:8.3.0-6) over (1:8.3.0-6) ...

  Version of gcc-8-base:amd64 on system is 8.3.0-26.
 libgcc1:amd64 depends on libc6 (>= 2.14); however:
  Package libc6:amd64 is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package libgcc1:amd64 (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libgcc1:amd64

So, let's try the libc deb file.

(Reading database ... 369 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack libc6_2.28-10_amd64.deb ...
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 270: which: command not found

dpkg: error processing package libc6:amd64 (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 libc6:amd64

So, I went back into LFS v9 to get libc6 (Section 6.3) installed, then did the ldconfig, then tried to install libgcc1_8.3.0-6_amd64.deb again

That did not work out, and still getting the dependency problem.

Any clues on this?

According to this manual, it states "These guides are outdated and no longer contain up-to-date information, which I intend to fix here in this manual."

It's been four years for the intended fix with an update which reflects version 9 of Linux from Scratch, and now Debian 10 which was recently released.

As indicated in the first two comments of #7 , the guide fails to indicate to the user that an error is to be expected when attempting to partially install packages.

multiarch-support depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.6-2); however:
Package libc6 is not installed.

It appears that we actually need to repeat the partial installation and tricking the database, but this time for libc6 and so that would come first before multiarch-support.

With that in mind, we would also need to reinstall libc6 as well after being able to install multiarch-support. Obviously this is something that I had missed while writing the original guide.

The paragraph about sources.list make it clear that we will build a real Debian system (even if it is not vanilla). But the intro and the conclusion are a little ambiguous : is it an apt based system with its own repositories, a Debian-like system or a real Debian (but not vanilla) ?

I have made it quit far now in installing those .deb packages.

So, in my folder, I have some other than those initial packages, so I was unable to perform the "dpkg -i *" command.

With that, I have been figuring out the order in which I must install them.

I am now on the tar package.

As as I enter the dpkg install command, I get "Segmentation fault" as output.

So, after some tinkering, I was able to get dpkg compiled and installed without issue.

I see in the other thread you mention about a merge request.

What did you want to merge it with?

Get this error after compiling gcc-base 4.9 and partial install of libgcc1. Appears when installing multiarch and libc6, then I can't run any dpkg command without getting that error and no other output. Reboot did not help.

It seems

sed -ri 's/(Package: libgcc1)/\1\nDescription: test\nMaintainer: test\nVersion: 2.19/' /var/lib/dpkg/status

needs to be updated. It appears to have corrupted the file /var/lib/dpkg/status

dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 25 package 'libgcc1':

Adding the contents:

So I went in and removed the "official" Maintainer line.

Repeated:

dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 29:
duplicate value for 'Version' field

Removed "Version: 1:8.3.0-6"

Repeated:

dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 33 package 'libgcc1:amd64':
duplicate value for 'Description' field

So it seems the second sed command is not even needed

With all that, I am still getting the dependency problem from this line (which seems to be incorrect also).

pkg -i (location_of_multiarch) dpkg -i (location_of_libc6)

becomes

dpkg -i multiarch-support_2.28-10_amd64.deb dpkg -i libc6_2.28-10_amd64.deb

[ I have no name!@DFS]/sources
