Are you specifying an http mirror for debian_mirror in your profiles?

yes. I tested several mirrors.

The wget_debian_mirror value, derived from debian_mirror, works best when it's
an ftp mirror:

i.e. profiles/default.conf:
wget_debian_mirror=ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian

I tested with this config file:

ARCH=amd64
debian_mirror=http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian
wget_debian_mirror=ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian
security_mirror=http://security.debian.org
profiles_udeb_dist=wheezy
export CODENAME=wheezy
dist=wheezy
export DEBVERSION=cbs
kernel_packages=linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64
profiles=cbs
proposed_updates=true
mirror_components="main contrib non-free"



Same result.

Wget's recursive http mirroring, at least the way simple-cdd uses it, doesn't
handle the non-packaging files very well...

I was only able to build a wheezy iso when using an ftp mirror (or an ftp
mirror for files, http for packages worked fine).

I tried to build with ftp mirror both in debian_mirror and wget_debian_mirror, but it also failed.

So, I've tested this under various configurations.  "build-simple-cdd
--dist wheezy" works on wheezy, but not on sid (although different
errors than originally reported).  "build-simple-cdd --dist squeeze"
does not work on wheezy.  It seems that the package at least right now
only works run under the release that it will generate.  Since users
can adapt given this knowledge, I'm lowering the severity.

I have already tested "build-simple-cdd --dist wheezy" under wheezy chroot. Same error. Today I tested it under wheezy system not in a chroot and it works.

Also I built iso with given config.
But I can't find out why it don't work in chroot. Any ideas?
