Problems using debootstrap when installing Zimbra ...

[ckoeber]

Hello,
I am trying to perform a Zimbra installation on a Gentoo system and it requires that I set up debootstrap (per this post from a while back: Gentoo Forums :: View topic - HOWTO: Zimbra on Gentoo
The problem that I have is that the debootstrap process never completes correctly. Don’t matter which build I use (dapper, stable, lenny, etc.) or which distribution I use (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.) I get errors like the following:

Command I type in: debootstrap --arch i386 dapper /Zimbra http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
I: Retrieving Release
I: Retrieving Packages
I: Validating Packages
I: Resolving dependencies of required packages...
I: Resolving dependencies of base packages...
I: Checking component main on http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu...
I: Retrieving adduser

I: Retrieving base-passwd
W: Couldn't download package base-passwd
I: Retrieving bash

W: Couldn't download package belocs-locales-bin
I: Retrieving bsdutils
I: Validating bsdutils
I: Retrieving busybox-initramfs
W: Couldn't download package busybox-initramfs

Of course, I need all of the packages for the installation to be successful.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

You're not likely to find much help in these forums as I doubt if many (or any) users have installed using the method you're trying. Perhaps you should ask the original author of the thread on the gentoo forums or my suggestion would be to install Zimbra using a supported platform.
