Problem creating sarge nfsroot

Hi all,

I'm just doing my first steps through FAI. My setup uses an apt-proxy instead
of a mirror. I think it should work. The install server is running woody. I
just installed the latest FAI for sarge clients (2.6.5).

When running fai-setup, it stops there:

$ sudo fai-setup
Account $LOGUSER=fai already exists.
Make sure that all install clients can
log into this account without a password.
/home/fai/.ssh/known_hosts remained unchanged.
/home/fai/.ssh/authorized_keys created.
User account fai set up.
Creating FAI nfsroot can take a long time and will
need more than 250MB disk space in /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot.
/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot already exists. Removing /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot
Creating nfsroot for sarge using debootstrap
E: Couldn't download console-tools-libs
chroot: cannot execute apt-get: No such file or directory

So, what is this error from? Is it the chroot that do not find apt-get or is
it apt-get that do not find console-tools-libs? In fact, console-tools-libs
isn't a sarge package any more. It is only found in woody.

When the configuration of the apt-proxy was bad, I had an other error. In
fact, some packages are downloaded :

/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/var$ ls cache/apt/archives/
adduser_3.59_all.deb          bash_2.05b-24_i386.deb
apt-utils_0.5.27_i386.deb     bsdmainutils_6.0.17_i386.deb
apt_0.5.27_i386.deb           bsdutils_1%3a2.12-10_i386.deb
aptitude_0.2.15.8-1_i386.deb  console-common_0.7.47_all.deb
base-config_2.53.5_all.deb    console-data_2002.12.04dbs-46_all.deb
base-files_3.1.0_i386.deb     console-tools_1%3a0.2.3dbs-55_i386.deb
base-passwd_3.5.7_i386.deb

Any help appreciated.

François.
