Since you're not mentioning switching branch or anything, I'm assuming you're working from the master branch, and building within unstable (e.g. a devel-oriented schroot environment). Starting from a clean Git checkout (meaning reallyclean is a no-op), the build_netboot target gives me a build/dest/netboot/mini.iso that lets me start and finish partman successfully. > The log then says: > Jul 15 09:03:01 main-menu[259]: INFO: Menu item 'partman-base' selected > Jul 15 09:03:01 main-menu[259]: WARNING **: Deep recursion configuring > package partman-base (dep loop?) > Jul 15 09:03:01 main-menu[259]: WARNING **: Menu item 'partman-base' failed. > > Why does my image behave differently? Any ideas what might be going > wrong here? Maybe something to do with the build environment we have no information about.
