So, it turns out it was my fault not looking at an error message from
fai-mirror before (as I said before, I think fai-cd should fail faster
when no Package file is found in the fai-mirror...)

Still, I dont understand why fai-mirror is failing.

I have a quite complex configspace, admitted.

Here's the fai-mirror -v output: http://paste.debian.net/44082

Hmm, no, paste is cutting it at line 945...

there's the section with the error that seems causing the problems:


...
Reading package lists...

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

>From these problematic packages, one is actually even in the mirror
created by fai-mirror:

henning at filet:/hier/produktion/tmp$ find fai-mirror -name udev*
fai-mirror/aptcache/var/cache/apt/archives/udev_0.105-4_i386.deb

and the other two could be perfectly downloaded from the mirror
mentioned in the fai sources.list that is used there - they are both
available.

Is it possible that fai-cd doesn#t really want to work well with
multiple sources.list entries?
