Bug#232701: grub installation fails
Package: install
Version: http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/i386/current/sarge-i386-netinst.iso (13 Feb 2004)
Severity: normal
Running the 'Install GRUB boot loader on a hard disk' fails
with the message 'The grub package failed to install into
/target/. Installing GRUB as a boot loader is a required ...'
On ALT-F3 I have:
...
Building dependency tree...
W: Couldn't stat source package list copy: sarge/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/_cdrom_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
E: You may want to run apt-get update ...
E: Couldn't find package grub
Grub is on the CD, no problem there, but this file its talking
(I assume it's chroot'd to /target) in /target/var/lib/apt/lists is not
there, instead I have only:
debootstrap.invalid_dists_sarge_Release
debootstrap.invalid_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages
partial/ (empty)
