Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.9 Severity: normal Hi,
debootstrap fails when supplied an empty set of packages to include: /usr/sbin/debootstrap --include= --exclude=adduser,apt-utils \ --arch powerpc etch /tmp/aap3 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian E: unrecognized or invalid option --include= This works successfully on etch so I think it's a regression introduced in 1.0.9 with this change: * Error out on unrecognized options to avoid invalid options to be recognized as arguments. We use debootstrap in a shell script where it is called like this: /usr/sbin/debootstrap --include="$INCLUDEDEBS" --exclude="$EXCLUDEDEBS" \ --arch "$ARCH" etch "$CHROOTDIR" "$DEBMIRROR" and I think it's quite reasonable if $INCLUDEDEBS is set to an empty string if I don't want to include any extra debs. I don't see problems with the existing behaviour so I hope that can be resurrected. cheers, Thijs -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages debootstrap depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-4 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii wget 1.11.3-1 retrieves files from the web debootstrap recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
