I don't see the problems there... as dpkg is ignoring the pre-dependency
problems.

You should really use fai2.5.4 (and fai-kernels 1.6) as Thomas has said,
download them from the fai-homepage, re-edit fai.conf (make a backup of
yours & install the maintainers version).

Use "fai-setup -v" and don't run it in a kde-konsole.
