[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#589646: ltsp-server installation fails during installation of debian-edu

[Andreas B. Mundt]

Package: ltsp-server
Version: 5.2.3-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
User: debian-edu at lists.debian.org
Usertags: debian-edu

Hi,

current debian-edu installer dvd (rsync -avzP ftp.skolelinux.org::cd-squeeze-test-dvd/debian-edu-amd64-i386-DVD-1.iso  debian-edu-DVD-1-squeeze.iso)
fails to set up the ltsp-server. The error reported is:

in_target: mount: can't find /cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

I managed to get a bit further by applying the following patch to 
ltsp-5.2.3/server/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Debian/099-mount-cdrom:

The mount works now, but the next error reported is:

in_target: I: Retrieving Release
in_target: E: Failed getting release file file:///cdrom/dists/squeeze/Release

Applying the following patch to tsp-5.2.3/debian/ltsp-client-builder.templates

results in the error:

in_target: I: Retrieving Release
in_target: I: Retrieving Release.gpg
in_target: E: Failed getting release signature file file:///media/cdrom/dists/squeeze/Release.gpg

I hope this helps tracking the bug(s) down.
