Bug#196033: No _meaningful_ feedback when debootstrap fails

2003-06-04 Thread Peter Hawkins
Package: base-installer Version: 0.022 Severity: normal Hi... I'm using the 'newt' frontend of debian-installer when installing. If debootstrap fails, the message that the frontend displays does not contain enough information to track down the problem (one has to go grubbing through /target/va

Hi... I thought I'd add my installation failure report for today too: After much screwing around (ie. creating my own local archive of udebs and base packages, d-i does not play well with apt-cacher btw), I finally almost got d-i to install debian. Installing using the 'netboot' image, from a g

Re: Please make discover2 udebs available for testing

Hi.. I imagine the correct fix is simply not to tag discover.conf as a conffile, so dpkg doesn't play fast and loose with renaming it. Hence add a: rm -f debian/discover-udeb/DEBIAN/conffiles right after the call to dh_installdeb when building discover-udeb. This seems to work fine. =) Peter O

Hi Jeff... In addition to the three patches I sent earlier for discover to build from source, I suggest the attached patch to debian/rules, which simply adds a '.' in an opportune place, so the libdiscover.so symlink is not added to the udeb (it's not needed, and it causes the installer's libra

Hi... Just trying to build debian-installer. The build dies for me due to depmod dying with a: depmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented The reason for this is because I am attempting to build d-i on a machine with a 2.5 kernel installed (and hence depmod cannot meaningfully communicate with
