This bug report remains open only as a request for debootstrap to somehow extract and print the actual error message from debootstrap.log when the installation of a package fails. Ideally that would be done in a form that prevents users from filing bug reports on debootstrap for random transient package breakage in unstable.
Please do not continue to post random transient package breakage in unstable reports to this bug report. (Hint: This bug report is from 2008, while your breakage is from 2012 or later. Hint: If you got to this bug report via google, I'm talking to you. File a new bug for your new issue; consider filing it on the package that's actually broken, not on debootstrap.) (Regarding libept, it will be fixed once the libept1 binary is removed from unstable by the usual processes, presumably.) -- see shy jo
