Ok, thanks for the details. I've to reproduce this problem but this
will take some further time as I'm not available through the next
few days. Will report back as soon as I had time for it.

Fresh installation of the live system and then run
with "-u" afterwards again.

Yep, just what to stress that new patch are available from the fai config space.

Dropped that,

 grml-live-git -c $CLASSES -u -n

but still get the same result.

By "fresh installation" you mean a fresh installation of grml-live
package, or fresh installation of the live system? If latter, how
would I test the FAI softupdate feature?

Thanks

Please try dropping the -q option from the grml-live cmdline and if
that doesn't fix the problem start of with a fresh installation.

Thanks a thousand for your swift respond/fix, mika.

I just tried it, seems that the problem might be further deeper in FAI:

Fixed in git:

  http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-live.git;a=commit;h=47b72a3

Please let me know whether it works for you as well (uploading the new version 
will automatically close the bugreport then).

Hi,

I'm trying to use the FAI softupdate feature via grml-live, but bumped
into problem:

$ grep -E '/dev|/proc' /var/log/fai/depen/last/software.log | head -4
Cannot find /proc/version - is /proc mounted?
Cannot find /proc/version - is /proc mounted?
/tmp/uswsusp.config.38961: line 21: /dev/stderr: No such file or directory
/proc is empty (not mounted ?)

Are /proc, /dev etc mounted before calling FAI softupdate?

Attached is fai log having 1 successful run and the latest failed log.

I was trying to update
http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=stacked_grml#note , note 4.

Please verify.
Thanks a lot.
