Re: FAI 6.0.1 on Debian 12/testing

Thank you, Thomas.

I noticed all my package_config/* files had aptitude, so I changed them all
to "install" or "install-norec", but then I had the same problem with
aptitude -- which confused me.

Maybe I forgot to rebuild the NFSROOT? I will try again.

Thank you for all that you do.
