The problem was revealed by applying the verbosity option to cdeboostrap which revealed some conflict trouble with rsyslog with old syslogd. Running the following fixed my problem: $ sudo cdebootstrap -v --allow-unauthenticated --exclude=rsyslog sid temp http://localhost/sid -- my place on the web: floss-and-misc.blogspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
