Hi,

I’m a newbie, trying to run Debian Squeeze on BeagleBone. I tried to follow the instruction on http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian but ran into this error. Anyone please help me resolve this issue, thanks. Below is a screen info when I tried it. Thanks again!

This will fix that:

sudo apt-get install util-linux

Thanks for the quick response Robert. I did what said and I got the message below.

test@LinuxDev:~/netinstall$ sudo apt-get install util-linux

So, what does "dpkg-divert --list" show?

I'm guessing something like this?

"diversion of /sbin/fdisk to /sbin/fdisk.distrib by gnu-fdisk"

In which case i'd do:

sudo apt-get remove gnu-fdisk --purge ; sudo apt-get install
util-linux --reinstall

Many Thanks Robert! I’m able to boot my BeagleBone.
