Package: fai
Version: 2.8.4
Severity: normal
There are at least 2 aspects of debootstrap 0.3.2 (from unstable) that
don't work with fai. I was having other problems with debootstrap
0.2.45-0.2 (which I may revisit soon), so have tried using 0.3.2. See
BTS #334373 for the first problem, that debootstrap 0.3.2 creates too
minimal of a /dev tree.
The second issue is that debootstrap 0.3.2 creates a bogus
start-stop-daemon:
/usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/woody:167
> mv "$TARGET/sbin/start-stop-daemon" "$TARGET/sbin/start-stop-daemon.REAL"
> echo \
> "#!/bin/sh
> echo
> echo \"Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called, doing nothing\"" >
> "$TARGET/sbin/start-stop-daemon"
> chmod 755 "$TARGET/sbin/start-stop-daemon"
>
> setup_dselect_method apt
This never gets replaced, so the FAI'd system is left unusable.
The fix for both of these issues might look something like this:
cd /permabit/user/daveg/sbx/1/ops/fai-2.8.4/usr.sbin/
diff /usr/sbin/make-fai-nfsroot
/permabit/user/daveg/sbx/1/ops/fai-2.8.4/usr.sbin/make-fai-nfsroot

I close this bug, since I can't reproduce it and the submitter
does not respond if it's still a problem.
