Tried to build rescue system WITH OPTIONALLY ADDED PROGRAM "more" : rear mkrescue

Build process complains 'ldd' would be missing and requests new issue.

NO Workaround: if you include 'ldd' as well into the inclusion list, build process completes, BUT rescue kernel runs immediately into panic.

  • Attachments, as applicable ("rear -D mkrescue/mkbackup/recover" debug log files):

@guru4712
etc/rear/local.conf is sourced as a bash script so you need bash syntax,
see usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rear/rear/master/usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf
where also each user config variable is described (at least a bit).

I.e. use

PROGS+=( more )

to add more to the default PROGS array.
