No, it doesn't exist:
% tar tf unstable-amd64.tar.gz | cut -d/ -f 1,2 | uniq -c
1 ./
2668 ./usr
65 ./sbin
1 ./build
1 ./mnt
5 ./run
1 ./proc
46 ./dev
65 ./bin
%
When I create /etc in the tarball, I get further errors, about various
other dirents not existing: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/, /root, /bin/bash,
even /bin/sh.
By comparison, the (working) jessie chroot has:
% tar tf jessie.tar.gz | cut -d/ -f 1,2 | uniq -c | sort -n
⋮
82 ./sbin
103 ./bin
354 ./etc
607 ./lib
898 ./var
10887 ./usr
%
I created the sid chroot last Friday with «/usr/sbin/sbuild-createchroot
--include=eatmydata --make-sbuild-tarball=/path/to/unstable-amd64.tar.gz
unstable `mktemp -d` http://httpredir.debian.org/debian». At the time
I used sbuild from stable (0.65.2-1). I just now re-created that chroot
using sbuild 0.71.0-2 (locally rebuilt on jessie), and it now works.
I still don't know why the stable sbuild didn't work, though. (Or
whether upgrading sbuild was the fix: perhaps something changed in the
archive since Friday.) Should I file a bug about that?
Thanks,
Daniel
