Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.32 Severity: important Hi
I am having problems with debootstrap (1.0.32) in conjunction with the fakechroot variant. I am using the same commands as the example in the fakechroot(1) manual: $ export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11 $ export FAKECHROOT_CMD_SUBST=/usr/bin/mkfifo=/bin/true:/sbin/insserv=/bin/true $ fakeroot fakechroot /usr/sbin/debootstrap --variant=fakechroot sid sidchroot/ This prints: I: Retrieving Release I: Retrieving Release.gpg I: Checking Release signature I: Valid Release signature (key id 9FED2BCBDCD29CDF762678CBAED4B06F473041FA) I: Validating Packages I: Resolving dependencies of required packages...

The difference is the error in the log-file. Besides this, the directory sidchroot is not an NFS share or similar as reported in some other bug-reports. In addition, sidchroot/var/lib/dpkg/status is existing and contains: Package: dpkg Version: 1.16.0.3 Maintainer: unknown Status: install ok installed Using debootstrap with another variant works fine. Maybe you can help here. Thanks in advance.
