failing debootstrap
Hi Sparc gurus,
I finally got a "new" sparc box to replace passed away previous one some
SunFire IIRC, which I use for upstream CI on big-endians.
I have got now an UltraSparc T2 with 48GB of RAM -- whoohoo
followed https://wiki.debian.org/Sparc64
and grabbed
https://people.debian.org/~glaubitz/debian-cd/2016-12-13/debian-9.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso
image. After figuring out how to boot the beast off cd, went ahead with
partitioning (software raid, lvm, ext3) and install base system. That
is the step which failed. Log (4th screen) ends with:
...

if you try to rerun installation of the base system, it fails in other
miserable ways:
Jan 18 03:08:55 debootstrap: tar: can't open './usr/share/doc/gcc-6-base/README.Debian.sparc64.gz': File exists
any clues on how to overcome or recommendations on another image/release
to use on the beast
Thanks in advance and please keep me CCed
