[debian] 2009-09-18 install from scratch: stage apt fails on dropbear restart

[e.waelde]

Hello,

installing from scratch again today:

on OM2009.x
# opkg install perl
to make debootstrap happy. Yes I found the hint in the script help :-)

Restarting Dropbear SSH server: invoke-rc.d: initscript dropbear, action "restart" failed.
dpkg: error processing dropbear (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 dropbear
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Command exited with non-zero status 100

Workaround:
in made the restart) section in /mnt/debian/etc/init.d/dropbear inactive (doing
nothing, really). Then stage "apt" completes.

Cheers,
Erich
