Bug#197818: base-installer: problem creating sources.list

[Thorsten Sauter <tsauter@debian.org>]

Package: base-installer
Version: 0.023 - UNRELEASED (not installed)
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

base-installer failes with the following message:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-installer.postinst: 128: cannot
create/target/etc/apt/sources.listbase-installer's postinst exited with
status 512

I propose the following changes in debian/postinst:
--- postinst.orig       2003-06-17 22:20:12.000000000 +0200
+++ postinst    2003-06-17 22:20:46.000000000 +0200

+[ ! -d /target/etc/apt ] && mkdir -p /target/etc/apt
echo "deb $APTSOURCE $DISTRIBUTION $COMPONENTS" > /target/etc/apt/sources.list

apt-update




Thanks
Thorsten
