make-fai-nfsroot exits with error

[Rainer Fleischhacker]

Hi folks,
today I'm upgrading from fai-2.8.4 (sarge) to 2.9. I have deinstalled the fai 
and fai-kernels packages ans installed the new fai-* packages. When I start 
the make-fai-nfsroot programm it ends with:

Setting up expect (5.42.1-1.2) ...

cp: `/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/fai': specified destination directory does not 
exist
Try `cp --help' for more information.
Removing `local diversion of /sbin/discover-modprobe 
to /sbin/discover-modprobe.distrib'

Can anybody help me?
Thanks for your answers.

Greetings Rainer, and a happy new year.
