Re: fai-debconf and softupdate (correction)

I was mocked by a TAB that was transmogrified into separate spaces by cut&paste. I used the output of getconf-get-selections (TAB separated fields) to feed my fai debconf config file. By cut&paste the TAB separator was transformed into two spaces. Debconf interpreted this input as two whitespace separators with an empty field in between and fell back to a default value (here: local delivery only). This was also the default deboconf value from FAIBASE, so I blamed fai-debconf for this flaw until I realized what really happened here. Sorry to bother you all. Cheers, Thomas
make-fai-nfsroot errors
Dear list, when I used make-fai-nfsroot today on an amd64 lenny FAI install server (with config working and used since months) I got the error: [...] Extracting templates from packages: 100% Can't call method "exists" on an undefined value at /usr/sbin/install_packages line 416, line 44. install_packages exit code: 2 [...] and no correct nfsroot. FAI was at 3.2.20 from http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download Going back to standard 3.2.17~lenny1 fixed this. Any ideas?
