Hi again, I doubt that an empty 'unreleased' distribution is the cause of the problem (but an inexistent one causes an error with --extra-suites=unreleased for sure). hppa is an example of architecture with no regular deb packages in 'unreleased', only udeb. Trying : # debootstrap --arch=hppa --variant=minbase --foreign --extra-suites=unreleased sid my_chroot http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports [ ... ] : Extracting zlib1g... 0 dtl64-seine:/home/moi/cages# echo $? 0 So, it works (actually, I haven't tested in the context of the debian-installer. I expect a similar result). In the paricular case of hppa, --extra-suite is definitely useless but seems harmless. Should it be enabled ? Regards, JH Chatenet
