No, that tarball is exactly correct. You cannot expect to download the *sourcecode* for a package and find the same contents as in the package *built from* that source code. If you look closely at the contents of the real package, you'll see that the "missing" releases are symlinks... The correct procedure to install debootstrap on a non-debian system is documented in the Installation Guide (section D.3.2): http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apds03.html#id333446 Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
