I think I am on to this one... I need to test this but I think I need to
add libelfg0 to the non-developer rootfs. (Of course no where in the
debootstrap logs does it give you any clue to the root cause of the
errors)

And yes, the developer rootfs runs just fine.=20

I think I can grunt my way through this issue.

Speaking of grunting... I am helping Mikey bring up bobcat Linux. It is
pretty entertaining in a train-wreck sort of way. He keeps wondering why
his box is booting bsd. Monkey see monkey ... Doh! ;-)

Nothing comes immediately to mind, however make sure exim is near-ish
the end of packages to be installed.

Also, if this is only a problem on non-developer rootfs, well, you know
what I'm going to say next ~:^)

Also, it shouldn't be configuring exim4.  It doesn't do that on a
debootstrap secondstage.  It should just install it with some kind of
nop configuration.  So I don't know what might have been happening.  We
will check an exim4 config file into the faux rootfs to be installed
afterwards, followed by a call to exim4-update-update or whatever
whacky thing it's called.

Rendell should be good to go for the moment as his machine should
have a working exim4 configuration on it.  Oh, you said Vikas, sorry,
nevermind.

Cheers,
