I don't think debootstrap tries to access the URL it is given *as is*. The release file for "wheezy http://http.debian.net/debian"; would be http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/wheezy/Release A quick look at the (squeeze) debootstrap code shows that a trailing slash would, in fact, be removed before the value is used to construct the URLs to access. It was just my quick test before without the slash that lead me to believe the value is incorrect. Regards, Holger
