Hey, I'm in the process of updating my FAI nfsroot to Jessie, and FAI 5.0.3. I've discovered an issue with install_packages. It seems that Apt::Pkg is causing issues.
I'm getting the following error message: ... install_packages: read config file LAST Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2: No such file or directory) The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. Can't call method "exists" on an undefined value at /usr/sbin/install_packages line 409, <FILE> line 235. After a bit of poking around, that error about /var/lib/dpkg/status is because /var/lib/dpkg in the running install box is empty. The logic in install_packages at line 142 which loads AptPkg::Cache appears to be trying to use $target/var/lib/dpkg/status but that isn't working correctly. If I run install_packages manually with -N then I can successfully install packages. Is there something else that I should be doing here?
