Squeeze's base-installer changelog says that STANZAS was added in version 1.102. We have 1.98. So our own debootstrap from buildd has never worked (haven't verified on mipsel yet).

Importing base-installer from squeeze sucks because it depends on a higher libc version. So we should try make our debootstrap scripts work with our current version of base-installer. It would've been nice if lenny's debootstrap actually had a lenny script.

Installer doesn't work on i386 and amd64. No similar errors reported on mipsel (someone did get md5sum mismatches there, see other bug).

<graziano> sysvinit: creating /dev/initctl
<graziano> init:
<graziano> timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl
<graziano> debootstrape usage: /usr/lib/debootstrap/pkgdetails PKGS mirrorpackagefile pkgs..
<graziano> debootstrape or: /usr/lib/debootstrap/pkgdetails FIELD mirrorpackagefile pkgs..
<graziano> debootstrape or: /usr/lib/debootstrap/pkgdetails GETDEPS mirrorpackagefile pkgs..
<graziano> debootstrape or: /usr/lib/debootstrap/pkgdetails WGET% low high end reason

<samgee> so pkgdetails wants PKGS, FIELD, GETDEPS or WGET%, but it's being called with STANZAS from setup_available. The question to figure out tomorrow is whether STANZAS is really invalid or whether parameters to setup_available are off. And where is the source to this mysterious pkgdetails?
