mkdebmirror doesn't get pool

[John Meagher]

Hello,
I have been attempting to set up FAI and have a few questions:

1) I used mkdebmirror to create a local mirror but the pool directory
was not copied.
I would think that pool would be of prime importance, but that's
probably because I'm confused about how it works.  Why is it not in
the script to mirror /pool ?

When I run fai-setup on the it terminates with:

+ call_verbose debootstrap --arch i386
--exclude=pcmcia-cs,ppp,pppconfig,pppoe,pppoeconf,dhcp-client,exim4,\
exim4-base,exim4-config,exim4-daemon-light,mailx,at,fdutils,info, \
modconf,libident,logrotate,exim woody /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot
file:/files/debmirror3
+ '[' '' ']'
+ debootstrap --arch i386
--exclude=pcmcia-cs,ppp,pppconfig,pppoe,pppoeconf,dhcp-client,exim4,\
exim4-base,exim4-config,exim4-daemon-light,mailx,at,fdutils,info, \
modconf,libident,logrotate,exim woody /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot
file:/files/debmirror3
E: Couldn't download adduser
+ true
+ chroot /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot apt-get clean
chroot: apt-get: No such file or directory
+ umount_dirs
+ LC_ALL=C
+ chroot /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot dpkg-divert --package fai --rename
--remove /sbin/discover
chroot: dpkg-divert: No such file or directory


Since adduser is in the pool, and there's no pool, I'm not surprised.

2) Most of the time when I run debmirror or mkdebmirror, the program
stops with the complaint that some files could not be downloaded.  Do
I have to manually look through the logs to find out what didn't load
and go find it somewhere else?

3) In other postings on this list, it was recommended to use apt-proxy
instead.
Does it solve the problem I'm having, or do I need to modify
mkdebmirror?

Thanks in advance,

John
