Hello Thomas, you will have noticed that systemd 255 moves its files from / to /usr. This includes /sbin/init. Now a problem arises, when: - I use a basefile tar.gz, made with an old systemd (say, it uses testing as of today) - During baseupdate, systemd gets updated and moves its file (say, I'm actually installing unstable) What happens is this: - base image gets unpacked, /sbin is a symlink to /usr/sbin, /sbin/init is actually /usr/sbin/init - baseupdate diverts /sbin/init to /sbin/init.distrib (and using symlinks, /usr/sbin/init became /usr/sbin/init.distrib) - baseupdate updates systemd, dpkg 'moves' /sbin/init to /usr/sbin/init, but the divert stays in place for /sbin/init. At this time, dpkg will have overwritten /usr/sbin/init with the new file(!) - fai-divert -R runs, removes /sbin/init, and removes the divert of /sbin/init. But: at this point /sbin/init was already the new /usr/sbin/init, which is now lost. As a result /usr/sbin/init is missing, and the system does not boot. I would suggest dropping all the fai-divert calls in baseupdate. Chris
