Package: debian-boot
Version: woody disk images (?)
Severity: normal
Hi,
This is not as drastic as it sounds, but I think warrants attention anyway.
It's more of a usability issue rather than a bug. I was trying to install
Debian from the woody disk images (normal; not safe, not compact) and was
getting as far as the 'Install Base System' option, using the 'network'
option, but it was having trouble installing the 'groff' and 'man-db'
packages. The problem is this: once the install system detects errors
installing it bails out with no option to continue and configure the
packages that are installed (bar telling it to do so from the command
prompt - I did say a usability issue ;). The upshot of this is fstab is
never configured properly (it doesn't seem to be in the 'Make System
Bootable' bit) and you can't reboot the system because it hangs after
entering run-level 2 (after/during starting syslogd - that bit might be
specific to my installation ?/ ) to put things right
(ie. run dselect ;).
Also, it does not seem to like the fact that proc is already mounted if you
run 'Install Base Sytem' multiple times (In fact this also causes the system
to bail out and therefore never write fstab).

We believe this problem is fixed in debootstrap 0.1.15.5.
Boot-floppies 3.0.15, which will be in the archive probably within 48
hours fixes this problem.
