Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Attempting to reproduce another bug reported on IRC about Ubuntu and
debootstrap
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
/usr/sbin/debootstrap --verbose --arch=amd64
--extra-suites=focal-updates focal ./focal-chroot
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
* What was the outcome of this action?
I: Checking Release signature
I: Valid Release signature (key id
F6ECB3762474EDA9D21B7022871920D1991BC93C)
I: Validating Packages I: Retrieving Packages I: Validating Packages W:
Retrying failed download of
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz
I: Retrieving Packages
* What outcome did you expect instead?
File to be fetched correctly
I inserted debug code and used set -x to narrow down the bug and found
that when EXTRA_SUITES is set, in function download_release_indices(),
in the loop "for s in $SUITE $EXTRA_SUITES; do" that the value of 's' is
being changed in the call to validate_suite() where it does "for s in
$SUITE $EXTRA_SUITES; do" and the first test is successful "if [ "$s" =
"$suite" ] || [ "$s" = "$CODENAME" ]; then return 0".
In the example case this resets the suite being processed from
'focal-updates' to 'focal' and so files are downloaded from the focal
suite but the hashes tested against are from the focal-updates
Releases file, causing the validation to fail.
Patch to fix the issue at the end of this email.
