    EDIT: Reinstalled a couple of times and now it works. No clue why it didn't before but who cares.

    Hi Steven, first of all the Setup: I am running Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop in a
    virtual machine in a Proxmox VE.
    I am currently trying to setup DRBL for Clonezilla (drbl live won't do) and
    after configuring everything according to the guide until the step of doing
    "drblpush -i" I get the error "too many levels of symbolic links" everytime
    it tries to run "chmod /tftpboot/node_root /usr/sbin/update-rc.d" (no
    matter the arguments after that).
    One thing I should add is that I manually had to recreate the symlinks for
    lib32 and lib64 in /tftpboot/node_root, as they were broken from the get
    go. For that I used "ln -sf /usr/lib32 /tftpboot/node_root/lib32" and "ln
    -sf /usr/lib64 /tftpboot/node_root/lib64. I have also used various methods
    (manually looking, find command, a python script) to look for any symlink
    loops in the whole system but have found none.

    I hope you will be able to help me with this.
    Simon
