Whonix on Mac M1 (ARM) - User Support (still unsupported at time of writing)

Unsupported Platforms
296

So i have been trying to make the newest build of 16.0.6.8-developers-only too build on Mac M1. But have gotten myself into some problems. I have followed the https://forums.whonix.org/t/derivative-maker-automated-ci-builder/14468 thread and made sudo passwordless by adding /etc/sudoers.d/passwordless as explained in the thread. But got into some problems.

Building the gateway worked fine:
https://notes.anonpaste.org/?b65818cc9d69c9ed#9MzGBcqaLq9JaaxYMqvZbSDEpsz5gCQXvcssezPMxCb9

Used the command

$ ./derivative-maker --target utm --flavor whonix-gateway-xfce --build --arch arm64

But Building the workstation did not go so well:
https://notes.anonpaste.org/?7707cae5cebe5bc1#EKSDDMZCQkKEDLtDv97FFyUrSV2aXtybCanRhghY9AKK

I tried both of these commands

$ ./derivative-maker --target utm --flavor whonix-workstation-xfce --build --arch arm64
$ ./derivative-maker --target utm --flavor whonix-workstation-xfce --build --arch arm64 --tb open

From what i can see from the log its:

####################################################################
## BEGIN ERROR in /var/lib/dpkg/info/tb-updater.postinst detected!

## ERROR LOG:

## EXIT_CODE: 7

That is the problem for why the build fail.
Hope these logs can help you find out about this.
