Hello,

yesterday I upgraded my FAI packages from Cologne to 3~beta21.
On my install server, I have:


# COLUMNS=132 dpkg -l '*fai*'
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

ii  fai-server                  3~beta21                    Fully Automatic Installation server package


Now there's a problem building the NFSROOT:


# make-fai-nfsroot
... many messages, and then:
Building database of manual pages ...
ifupdown.postinst: Warning: No 'iface lo' definition found in /etc/network/interfaces
ifupdown.postinst: Warning: No 'auto lo' statement found in /etc/network/interfaces

E: Couldn't find package fai-nfsroot
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What's that? I can easily download such a package using apt, but I
don't know why the setup program can't, or what else might be the
problem (iow, I didn't read the source yet).



Best,
