Version: 1.49
Severity: important
I tried to install sarge on a hd according to
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apcs04.html.en
The machine is a sid, pretty normal except for the lack of a floppy
Section C.4.2 was skipped as debootstrap is already installed
Section C.4.3
debootstrap --arch i386 sarge mnt/debinst
http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian
Smooth sailing down to C.4.4.4:
Section C.4.4.4 was run as described, /usr/sbin/base-config new. The
result was a line 'Terminated', nothing else, no configuration or
anything.
burken:/# /usr/sbin/base-config new
Terminated
burken:/# cat /var/log/base-config.timings
openpty failed
openpty failed
openpty failed
openpty failed
The base-config.log was empty
All work was done under X, in an gnome-term.=20
The info below is from the sid machine, as that's the one I'm
reportbugging from.=20
