Subject: boot-floppies: debootstrap fails
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.15-2001-10-18
Severity: critical
-- System Information
Debian Release: testing/unstable
Kernel Version: <deleted by user>
I am sending this bug from another machine because the machine on
which the problem occurs has not successfully been installed because
of the problem I am about to report here, hence deleteing the kernel
version information above.
The version of boot-floppies above is the directory name under
debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386 from which I took images-1.44's
rescue and root, and the drivers.tgz.
Anyway, on with the bug report. I boot the rescue and switch the root
fine. I've mounted a couple of partitions in order to see the Debian
archive on my own machine (put there with older Debian installation
in different partition). I specify that I want to configure kernel
modules and add pcnet32, st, sg. Then when I proceed to installing
the base system, I get the little progress bar appearing, the message
displayed is 'calling debootstrap', and when the bar just begins
to move off, I get an window with title "Error" and with message
"Couldn't download at". Yup, that's all. When I press enter to
continue, I am returned to the main installation menu with the same
'Next' and alternates displayed.
This error was *very* reproducible; I got it each of the about ten
times I tried.
I don't know that I can really offer you much more information, since
I'm now going back to 2.2R3's CDROMs to install a base system, and
then I'll just do an upgrade to get to my intended 'testing' system,
but if you let me know ... Thanks.

The newer debootstrap 3.0.16, already released, contained a fixed
debootstrap which corrected this.
Unfortunately, no one ever built it for i386. I'll try to make sure
there is a 3.0.16 or 3.0.17 for i386 this weekend.
