Package: fai-server
Version: 3.1.6
Severity: normal

When trying to create an apt repository with fai-mirror on a 64bit
systems some statements report errors.

When trying to make a 32bit mirror on a 64 machine I attempted to use
the following methods:

First I tried only including the I386 class
#fai-mirror -c I386 /srv/fai/mirror/

Then I attempted to exclude AMD64
#fai-mirror -x AMD64 /srv/fai/mirror


The third uses linux32 that fakes out queries to commands like uname so
that they report a 32bit architecture

#linux32 fai-mirror /srv/fai/mirror

After running these, I get the same error:
[snip]
line 319: $pfile: ambiguous redirect


Looking at the repository after the failure, it appears to install both
amd64 and i386 binaries.

# ls -l /srv/fai/mirror/dists/etch/main/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-02-28 10:24 binary-amd64
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-02-28 10:24 binary-i386

The goal of this repository was to make it 32bit only.  I have another
respository that is for amd64, that one builds perfectly.

Right now the work around is to build the mirror on a 32bit system by
installing fai and copying my configuration files.
