Re: [Libguestfs] fedoostrap or deboostrap requirement

Since debootstrap is available on gentoo i've installed it now the build process fails with: Warning: You are running debirf as root. There is a potential for improperly written modules to damage your system. Are you sure you wish to continue? [y|N]: y Loading profile 'debian'... debirf: creating debirf root... E: No such script: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/fedora-11 make[2]: *** [../initramfs/fakeroot.log] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/libguestfs-1.0.56/work/libguestfs-1.0.56/appliance' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/libguestfs-1.0.56/work/libguestfs-1.0.56' make: *** [all] Error 2 why is it still looking for fedora based script and not debian one?
