fai for BOSS operating system

[Rajesh pant]

hello list

>From last 2 or 3 months i have been trying  to  install  BOSS, an indian
version of linux, inside my lab using FAI.
for this purpose i need to create a base image of BOSS.
after running the command as Pbuilder create
i get the following message...



r...@mca62[~]#pbuilder --create
W: /root/.pbuilderrc does not exist
Distribution is sid.
Building the build environment
 -> running cdebootstrap
/usr/bin/cdebootstrap
P: Retrieving Release

it just stuck at this point and then i have to terminate the command
forcefully.

I am desperate to know the mysteries behind this.
 And the list is the only place where i can get some help. because the local
guidance i have is too overwhelming.
I hope, i able to finish my project with the help of the list.
eagerly waiting for help.
thank you.

I would try debootstrap --verbose .. instead

I will... :)

however, this how I've managed to get it working :

/usr/share/perl5/Linux/LVM.pm Line 242

# Parse the number of allocated physical extents from the volume group.
-   elsif( m/Alloc PE \/ Size\s+(\S+) \/ (\S+) (\S+)/ ) {
+   elsif( m/Alloc PE \/ Size\s+(\S+) \/ (\S+)(?:\s+(\S+))?/ ) {
$vghash{$vgn}->{alloc_pe} = $1;
$vghash{$vgn}->{alloc_pe_size} = $2;
-   $vghash{$vgn}->{alloc_pe_size_unit} = $3;
+   $vghash{$vgn}->{alloc_pe_size_unit} = $3 || "B";
 next VGINF; }
