I'm trying to get debian installed on an arm board but both debootstrap and cdebootstrap fail due to the same basic problem.
I create the first stage on the 686 host with sudo debootstrap --foreign --arch arm etch debarm http:ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ (I've also tried sid) This seems to be ok. I then copy the results to SD card with sudo cp -p -R debarm/* On the arm board I mount the ext2 SD card at /mnt/sd and chroot /mnt/sd/ /bin/bash /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage >From there I see I: Installing core packages... W: Failure trying to run: chroot / dpkg --force-depends --install var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-10_arm.deb A check of the debootstrap.log shows the following (after only three packages) Setting up libc6 (2.7-10) ... /usr/share/debconf/confmodule: line 15: /usr/lib/cdebconf/debconf: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing libc6 (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: libc6 /debootstrap/functions: line 5: echo: write error: Broken pipe when I use cdedebconf instead, the error is at a different point (debconf and passwd) but it is the same non-existent cdebconf/ directory problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
