Hi list,
First of, this is for fun and learning, so do not break your head about this
;) I'm trying to setup a debian vserver on a gentoo host. After some
googling (where did I read this before:) I found the debian-newvserver.sh
script, a script that debootstraps a debian vserver on a given dir. I guess
there are people here that know this script ;P. I changed it to install a
debian-amd64 sarge system (at least I tried to..). But the script breaks
while excuting the (/usr/lib64/debootstrap/scripts/)sarge install script, it
breaks doing the (dpkg) extract part, note I added the DBG ;)
Bla bla,
I: Validating wget
I: Validating whiptail
I: Validating zlib1g
I: Validating zlib1g
I: Validating zlib1g
DBG: extract required
I: Extracting base-files...
tar: ./lib: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
debian-newvserver.sh.1: error: debootstrap failure. Cannot continue.

Is it me, my system or does dpkg play tricks on me ;)?
I've been playing with this and done it multiple times, umounting the
partition helped getting rid of this error (I also assumed it tried to
create ./lib in the vserver root dir) and I could mkdir ./lib by hand in the
vserver root dir. Although the error didn't change while ./lib existed, I
would have expected a already exists error, but it kept repeating whats
above.
Its along time since I've setup or used a debian system since i started
emerging my software ;), so I'm not sure whats going on here. There are
quiet some pitfalls here I guess, so my obvious question, has anyone done
this and willing to share experiences? If not what do you think could be
going on here?
Cheers,

Oh just thought of this, would it be a problem trying to do this using
reiserfs like I do, I don't think so but you never know ;)
