Hi, I have cloned the root fs and /usr onto a new machine (as I have done many times before)
I boot SystemRescueCD and mount the new root on, say, /nroot Then my standard procedure is as follows mount -o bind /proc /nroot/proc mount -o bind /dev /nroot/proc chroot /nroot /bin/bash cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab mount /usr env-update and finally source /etc/profile BUT, this time, env-update fails because it cannot import site the error being TypeError stat() argument 1 must be an encoded string without NULL bytes. Has anybody an explanation for this failure? (the system is bleeding edge ~amd64, eselected python-2.6 (python-2.6.6-r1) Many thanks for a hint, Helmut.
