Package: multistrap
Version: 2.1.6
Severity: minor
When repeatedly re-running multistrap, I wanted to avoid the lengthy
download time for the binary packages. So I did something like this:
- run multistrap with cleanup=false
- copy target/var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb to /var/cache/apt/archives/
Then, before each new multistrap run, I would
mkdir -p target/var/cache/apt/archives
cp -a /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb target/var/cache/apt/archives/
I got a lot of confusing errors, until I realized that multistrap
basically iterates over ALL the packages in
target/var/cache/apt/archives/.
multistrap is assuming that the only files in the target's apt archive
are those *it* asked for via apt-get --download-only. This is not the
case in my pre-seeded cache scenario.
I suggest that you perform an apt-get --print-uris run prior the the
apt-get --download-only run, and use the resulting output to generate
the list of deb files to unpack.
