Hello, trying to do an: debootstrap --variant=minbase lenny grip/ http://www.emdebian.org/grip/
with an 1.0.10lenny1 debootstrap on on a freshly updated/upgraded grip system itself. I keep getting: ------------- ... I: Unpacking the base system... W: Failure while installing base packages. This will be re-attempted up to five times. W: Failure while installing base packages. This will be re-attempted up to five times. W: Failure while installing base packages. This will be re-attempted up to five times. W: Failure while installing base packages. This will be re-attempted up to five times. W: Failure while installing base packages.
