That's the unstable version, I presume? You'd have to install the unstable glibc if you'd want to do that. Wouldn't advice that, though. An easier solution is to make sure there's a deb-src line in your /etc/apt/sources.list that points to unstable, and run the following chain of commands: apt-get update; apt-get install build-essential; apt-get build-dep debootstrap; apt-get -b source debootstrap; dpkg -i debootstrap_0*deb This should download the unstable sources for debootstrap, compile them, and install them. After that, you should no longer have any problems running debootstrap. -- wouter at grep dot be "An expert can usually spot the difference between a fake charge and a full one, but there are plenty of dead experts." -- National Geographic Channel, in a documentary about large African beasts.
