Package: mmdebstrap
Version: 0.4.1-3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/mmdebstrap
I regularly debootstrap on the far end of an SSH connection.
This is approximately
ssh otherplace debootstrap buster /tmp/x http://apt/debian
When I try this with mmdebstrap, it hangs forever waiting for a
sources.list on stdin, EVEN THOUGH I have supplied one on the CLI.
ssh otherplace mmdebstrap buster /tmp/x http://apt/debian
[...]
I: Reading sources.list from standard input...
This is because mmdebstrap:1957 assumes if stdin is either a tty, or is a
sources.list.
>From the manpage, I think this should happen IF AND ONLY IF the mirrors
>argument is "-"
<a mmdebstrap x y z # ignore stdin (mirrors are "z")
<a mmdebstrap x y - # read from stdin (mirrors are "a")
<a mmdebstrap x y # ignore stdin (mirrors are default)
You can reproduce other silly behaviours with:
mmdebstrap <&-
mmdebstrap </dev/zero
As a workaround, "mmdebstrap </dev/null" seems to work.
PS: I set DEBIAN_FRONTEND &c, so postinsts don't need a tty either.
