It would be cool if you could file a bug report, such that this issue gets documented (publically), feel free to add the information that you are already investigating this issue.

I do have two different mirror directories. I have a /srv/fai/mirror and a /srv/fai/mirror64. I'm honestly not sure how /srv/fai/mirror ended up containing both arches in it. Before when i had done things, I had noticed that various fai scripts would detect my architecture and download accordingly. For example, I can't make an nfsroot for a 32bit machine on the 64 bit machine, at least I don't know how. What I had tried this time was to fake it out using debian's linux32 package and running the command: #>linux32 fai-mirror /srv/fai/mirror Where /srv/fai/mirror is a completely empty directory (i run an rm -rf /srv/fai/mirror/* before hand). Granted my package_config/DEFAULT contains packages for both i386 and amd64, I assumed (or hoped) that it would detect the architecture and build the appropriate mirror. It appears to have attempted to build mirrors for both archs and then failed right at the end, but I haven't read into the script enough to really understand what's going on, which would be my next step. To really fix it please file a bug with the Debian BTS to get this issue solved as soon as possible, it probably doesn't even take too much effort. For this bug I would report that fai-mirror fails when detecting two archs in a mirror? That seems like one bug (i.e. better error message). I also think I'm going to read into this a little more (when i have time) to see if I can figure out why fai-mirror is populating /srv/fai/mirror with more than one arch or would that type of investigation be generally discouraged?

Thanks, Michael Sure enough, it was finding two dists. /srv/fai/mirror/dists/etch/main/binary-i386/Packages /srv/fai/mirror/dists/etch/main/binary-amd64/Packages I use this machine to do fai installations for both 32bit and 64bit machines. Originally I set things up on original machines and copied them over. I was hoping to make things work on a single machine without having to set things up on two different machines. For a workaround i'll continue to do things on separate machines (a 32bit and a 64bit) and copy the results over to my server unless anyone has a better suggestion? Thanks, Carl p.s.
