X-Spam-Level:
Package: base-installer
Version: N/A; reported 2003-03-26
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package uninstallable
I was testing Tollef's daily build of the net-inst images from today,
2003/03/26, and after hacking around the missing mkswap, I ran into this
error in base-installer's postinst:
cp: /target/etc/fstab: No such file or directory
This causes the postinst to fail, and sends the install into a loop.
Note: I was able to successfully partition my disk, create all
filesystems (except swap), and mount the partitions. It just seems this
data was never recorded in the proper file.
If you need more details on my test system or installation method, let
me know and I will supply them.
