Hi all,

I'm trying to install debian from a machine running SUSE. I found this HOWTO
But when trying to launch the debootstrap script it fails and returns the following error:

debootstrap: line 11: /usr/lib/debootstrap/functions: No such file or directory

Now, the file in question exists. Here's a listing of the

l175:/home/Lixy/work/usr/lib/debootstrap # ls -ail
total 76
345469 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 192 2002-08-30 00:02 .
345468 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 80 2002-08-30 00:02 ..

345470 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 168 2002-08-30 00:02 scripts

Making it executable didn't fix the issue.

Thanks,

Sorry guys! I missed the backslash;
