Hello,

im trying to setup a local debian mirror.
I'm using the script mkdebmirror from the package fai 2.3.4.
After downloading of approx. 6 GB and setting sources.list to

deb file:/files/scratch/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb file:/files/scratch/debian/dists woody-proposed-updates/
deb file:/files/scratch/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free
deb file:/files/scratch/debian-security woody/updates main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free

i can use dselect with the local debian mirror.
I've set fai.conf to:

ftpserver=ftp.debian.org
debdist=woody # distribution: potato, woody, sid
FAI_DEBMIRROR=<servername>:/files/scratch
MNTPOINT=/mnt2
FAI_SOURCES_LIST="deb file:$MNTPOINT/debian $debdist main contrib non-free
deb file:$MNTPOINT/debian/dists $debdist-proposed-updates/
deb file:$MNTPOINT/debian-non-US $debdist/non-US main contrib non-free
deb file:$MNTPOINT/debian-security $debdist/updates main contrib non-free"
NFSROOT_PACKAGES="ssh expect reiserfsprogs dpkg-dev"
FAI_ROOTPW="56hNVqht51tzc"
KERNELPACKAGE=/usr/lib/fai/kernel/kernel-image-2.4.18_fai1_i386.deb
LOGUSER=fai
FAI_REMOTESH=rsh
FAI_REMOTECP=rcp
FAI_CONFIGDIR=/usr/local/share/fai
FAI_SHAREDIR=/usr/share/fai
FAI=/fai
OS_TYPE=`uname -s |  tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`

fai-setup reports a lot of warnings about dpkg dependency problems and
finally the error message:

Account $LOGUSER=fai already exists.
Make sure, that all install clients can
log into this account without a password.
/home/fai/.rhosts created.
User account fai set up.
Creating FAI nfsroot can take a long time and will
need more than 150MB disk space in /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot.
/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot already exists. Removing /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot
dpkg: base-passwd: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you
request:

  Package libc6 is not installed.

I think there is something wrong with my local debian mirror.
Any suggestions?
