Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.89 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Trying to run debootstrap with just acl (the first package in the list) fails at unpacking due to a missing xzcat sudo debootstrap --merged-usr --variant=minbase --components=main,non-free --include=acl jessie /tmp/debtest http://deb.debian.org/debian I: Chosen extractor for .deb packages: ar I: Extracting acl... E: Extracting .//var/cache/apt/archives/acl_2.2.52-2_amd64.deb requires the xzcat command, which is not available $ which xzcat /usr/bin/xzcat changing /bin/sh -> dash fixes it, but I would have figued that if debootstrap has its shebang set to /bin/sh, it would work with any posix shell, including posh. (I read the warning: WARNING: Since many of Debian's /bin/sh scripts are not actually policy- compliant, using posh as your /bin/sh may reveal breakage.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, armhf Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages debootstrap depends on: ii wget 1.18-5 Versions of packages debootstrap recommends: ii debian-archive-keyring 2014.3 ii gnupg 2.1.18-6 debootstrap suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
