[Simple-cdd-devel] Problems building simple-cdd for squeeze

[Niklaus Giger]

Hi

Thanks for your work on simple-cdd. It works great for me for lenny. 

But not for squeeze? I tried to dig a little into the problem, but got not 
very far.

To isolate the problem I created via debootstrap a squeeze chroot. There I 
mounted /proc and a minimal /dev. Then I ran "aptitude install simple-cdd", 
created a test user and tried to run
simple-cdd --dist squeeze --debian-mirror \ 
http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ 2>&1 | tee simple-cdd.log

I remarked that running ./CONF.sh in tmp/debian-cdd balked out saying
"bash: dpkg-architecture: command not found"
Running "aptitude install dpkg-dev" fixed this error.
Is this a missing depends of debian-cd or simple-cdd?

Then I reran above mentioned command again.

But I still got the following errors in the attached log.
> W: Failed to fetch

Then I added wget and rsync as mirror-tools to make it look like
> simple-cdd --dist squeeze --mirror-tools "wget rsync" --debian-mirror \
> http://ftp.debian.org/debian/

Now I only have the following error:
>   CD 1 (not) filled with 429 packages, 81524 blocks, 166961152 bytes
> Finished: 429 packages placed
> purging /home/test/tmp//extras
> simple-cdd: extra files for simple-cdd
> ERROR: missing required packages from profile default:  simple-cdd-profiles
This seems very odd to me. Is the mirror in a bad state?

Do you know why (and shouldn't it be documented somewhere) we need to specify 
the mirrortools for squeeze?
