Re: cross-debootstrap error

Show all headers | View raw

I had the exact same error when I did it with armel. The problem was I 
was using a ntfs filesystem as the base for the debootstrap, so i guess 
that caused a problem related to fs permissions.

I did the process again in my root fs (ext4) and all went excelent. 
Thanks for your help.
