Package: fai-server
Version: 3.1.8
Severity: normal

Prior to setting up fai-server on my server (which I care about), I
tried installing it on a workstation (which can burst into flames, for
all I care), in case fai-server did something silly.  I found the
following:

    Setting up fai-server (3.1.8) ...
    mkdir: cannot create directory `/srv/tftp': Permission denied
    dpkg: error processing fai-server (--configure):
     subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
    Setting up rsh-server (0.17-13) ...
    
    Setting up tftpd-hpa (0.43-1.1) ...
    tftpd-hpa disabled in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
    
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     fai-server
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
    Setting up fai-server (3.1.8) ...
    mkdir: cannot create directory `/srv/tftp': Permission denied
    dpkg: error processing fai-server (--configure):
     subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     fai-server
    Press return to continue.

fai-server assumes /srv is writable, this is not the case on my
workstation where /srv is a root-squashed nfs mount.  I'm not sure
which one of us is doing the Wrong Thing.
