Some more info on the issue: If trying to execute the failing command by hand one gets the following error message: /tmp/chroottest$ sudo chroot /tmp/chroottest/woody dpkg --force-depends --install var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_3.0.2_i386.deb var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.4.1_i386.deb dpkg: can't mmap package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/available': Invalid argument
As cdebootstrap fails with nearly the same error message (s/available/status) one might suspect that it is actually a libc/kernel problem, seems to work flawlessly on my 2.4.x system Gruesse, -- Frank Lichtenheld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www: http://www.djpig.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
