The first was caused a bug in how a rsync'ed the source tree to the armhf build host. Debian's build systems have a firewall that prevent git from working correctly, so I have to rsync the source tree up build host, and this broke the git tree so the automated generation of the *.ver files broke, which in turn aborted the installation of the quota tools. The second problem had to do with how fakechroot (used because I don't have root on the arm build host) handles symlinks. Fixed by using the "symlinks" program rewrite the absolute symlinks to relative symlinks. I've uploaded an updated armmf_root_fs.tar.gz; please give it a try! Cheers, - Ted
