I too started getting this same error message. I will see where exactly in my daily builds this started failing, though I fixed it in my build scripts pretty quickly. Generally speaking my host is LFS 7.0 or SystemRescueCD. (My automated build is LFS v7.0+openssh+mysql-client+ruby) Go n-éirí leat, Stuart -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
