[Grml] grml-debootstrap problems

[Michael Whapples]

Hello,
I am trying to install debian using grml-debootstrap but I get an error
about it not finding MAKEDEV. I retried but adding the makedev package
to /etc/debootstrap/packages but it still fails with the error. Infact
it seems like the packages in /etc/debootstrap/packages are not being
installed (eg. what is left in the mount point doesn't contain zsh
either or commands related to other packages I try and add).

This is just using the standard grml 2009.10 CD.

It has just occurred to me, I never do anything to update packages on
the CD first, was there a problem with the grml-debootstrap on the
2009.10 CD?

Please post the complete and exact error message and the
commandline / config you are using.

I assume this is an error in an *official* Debian package.

I attach the config file I am using, I don't give any extra options to
grml-debootstrap. The error message isn't very descriptive, I get the
message about it creating generic devices in /dev (something like that)
then I get an error stating the script and that MAKEDEV cannot be found
(sorry I don't have the exact message in front of me, it was of the form:
/bin/chroot-script: xxx: MAKEDEV: command be found
Where xxx was a number which escapes me).

Ok thanks. I've just uploaded grml-debootstrap 0.33 to the
grml-testing repository which should address your problem (thanks to
Ulrich Dangel for taking care of this issue).

Please let us know if you still encounter problems.

It now gets stuck at the point of retrieving packages, it complains
about getting the packages.bz2 file and then exits.

I did get further when I tried using the version on the CD when I
changed to using lenny, however as lenny is far behind with certain
packages I really want to use either thesting or unstable (possibly I
would prefer testing as that might be a bit more stable).
