When trying to install DRBL after a fresh install of Debian Wheezy 7.3, I get an error after running drblsrv -i as shown below. Source.list was verified and seems correct, also shown below. Any ideas?
2nd, installing the necessary files for DRBL...

Thanks!
Thanks. This issue has been fixed in drbl 2.23.3. Now in unstable release. Please give it a try and let us know the results. Thanks.
Steven
BTW, it's recommended to run drbl on Jessie, especially if you want to use it as Clonezilla SE purpose.
Steven
Thanks Steven for the update. I've moved on to Jessie using DRBL stable version 2.22.5. for now which seems to be working great. But I do notice when creating or restoring an image, the blue screen gets overlayed by the black bash screen and displaying "Starting Cleanup of Temporary Directories". Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
Thanks!
Here's a capture of the display issue of "Started Cleanup of Temporary Directories..."
Does that affect the restoring? Cause any issue? Or just annoying?
Steven
So far I don't see any issues in restoring. Just an annoyance.
OK, in that case the priority to fix this is not high. Maybe some updates from upstream will fix this issue.
