Description:    Ubuntu natty (development branch)
Release:        11.04

The FAI /usr/sbin/make-fai-nfsroot script creates a chroot environment ('nfsroot') using the debootstrap command.

At least with Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 2 the debootstrap command no longer installs the 'aptitude' package by default in this
nfsroot environment. As 'aptitude' is missing, the nfsroot environment stays incomplete and cannot be used for the further installation process.

To resolve this issue, the natty fai-server package needs to be modified this way:

In /etc/apt/make-fai-nfsroot.conf the last line should be changed to:

FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--exclude=info --include=aptitude"
