Whilst doing a stage 1 install on amd64 I ran bootstrap.sh -f which fetched all the sources as desired, but it then sets /var/run/bootstrap-progress to 6, hence it won't bootstrap when it comes to actually running the script proper! It thinks the system is already bootstrapped. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Simply use bootstrap -f as described in the install handbook, followed by bootstrap.sh 2. 3. Actual Results: System thought the machine was already bootstrapped, and came up with an error asking me to abort using Ctrl-C or enter to continue to re-bootstrap. If you hit enter, it simply says that no out of date packages were found and exits as if it has finished. To a first-timer, this could mistakenly lead them to progress onto stage 2 of the install, which will not give them a functioning system! Expected Results: Bootstrapped! The workaround is to delete /var/run/bootstrap-progress. It's just a nuisance. This error was mentioned in the amd64 mailing list, sorry if it's already been reported/fixed.
livecd@ has nothing to do with the bootstrap scripts
