Bug#239757: debian-installer: bootstrap failed due to exim
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Tried to install sarge at Mar 24 on a machine by using
DHCP and PXE-booting on an internal network (10.x.x.x addresses),
but the base system bootstrap failed. I think the root cause is
this failure in the log:
Setting up exim4-config (4.30-7) ...
hostname: Unknown host
Adding system-user for exim (v4)
/usr/sbin/exim4: error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls.so.10:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp
not installing /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
If this is due to netbase not being configured, it may be of
interest that netbase is configured a few packages later. (And some
packages depending on exim4-config or exim or mail-transport-agent are
attempted configured earlier but fail since exim4-config is still
unconfigured.)
If this is due to the libgnutls.so.10 error, it seems that libgnutls7
was configured some packages earlier, but I don't think there was a
libgnutls10 unpacket. So exim4-daemon-light also failed to configure
because it depends on libgnutls10. Hmm, that probably also contributed
to the bootstrap failure.
Not sure whose fault this is, I'll let you reassign as appropriate.
