Package: debootstrap
Version: 0.3.1.3
Severity: important
Hello,
debootstrap does not work for me. When I try to follow the example in
the manual page, the process hangs somewhere in or directly after the
package configuration phase:
quiche:~# cd / ; mkdir /sid-root
quiche:/# debootstrap sid /sid-root http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/
I: Retrieving Release
I: Retrieving Packages
I: Validating Packages
I: Checking component main on http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian...
I: Extracting base-files...
I: Extracting base-passwd...

I: Unpacking util-linux...
I: Unpacking zlib1g...
I: Configuring required packages...
I: Configuring sysv-rc...
[...]
I: Configuring console-tools...
I: Configuring console-common...
I: Configuring base-config...
At this point nothing more happens, the program just hangs. Even
after waiting 30 minutes there is no more output and there is no CPU
usage. The pstree output looks as follows:
|-bash---su---bash---debootstrap-+-debootstrap
| `-debootstrap---debootstrap
When I directly install base-config is configures without problems, so
probably it is not a base-config problem.
While debootstrap hangs, the directory /sid-root contains a populated
file system, which seems to be in good shape. /sid-root/proc is mounted,
but not mentione in /etc/mtab:
quiche:/sid-root# cat /etc/mtab | grep sid-root
quiche:/sid-root# cat /proc/mounts | grep sid-root
proc /sid-root/proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0
As you can see below this is on a powerpc system with a 2.6.12 kernel.
If I can help by providing any additional information, please let me know.
I hope this helps,
Jochen
