ubuntu-vm-builder can't set ssh authorized keys

[Hadmut Danisch]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-vm-builder

Hi,

if I call ubuntu-vm-builder with

ubuntu-vm-builder kvm karmic --cpus=1 --arch=i386 --mem=512 --suite=karmic ... --ssh-key=/root/.ssh/authorized_keys --ssh-user-key=/root/.ssh/authorized_keys ...

I get the error message

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubuntu-vm-builder", line 28, in <module>
    VMBuilder.run()

    self.run_in_target('chown', '-R', '%s:%s' % (self.vm.user,)*2, '/home/%s/.ssh/' % (self.vm.user))
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

BTW: Why does ist use plugins/ubuntu/dapper.py ?

regards
