--- Begin Message ---Package: multistrap Version: 2.2.1 Severity: wishlist Hi, suppose the following configuration file: [General] arch=amd64 directory=/tmp/multistrap/ cleanup=true noauth=false explicitsuite=false unpack=true bootstrap=Debian aptsources=Debian [Debian] packages= source=http://http.debian.net/debian keyring=debian-archive-keyring suite=stable omitdebsrc=false [Debian] packages= source=http://http.debian.net/debian keyring=debian-archive-keyring suite=stable omitdebsrc=false When running multistrap with this file, I get the following output: multistrap 2.2.1 using multistrap-example.conf multistrap 2.2.1 using multistrap-example.conf Defaulting architecture to native: amd64 multistrap building amd64 multistrap on 'amd64' I: Installing ARRAY(0x21962f0) sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected multistrap: Unable to download keyring package: '/tmp/multistrap/' It took me quite some time until I figured out from reading the perl code what the error was. The problem is easy to see in the configuration file above but becomes way harder to spot in more complicated setups. In the ideal case, the configuration file parser would either not allow duplicate sections or multistrap would abort with a helpful error message if it sees that variables that it expects to be scalars were read as arrays. Thanks! cheers, josch
