Public bug reported:
I use debootstrap to do minimal installs of Ubuntu and I couldn't figure
out why debootstrap would silently fail when I pass the name of my
directory I wanted to install the Ubuntu system in (which, for purposes
of bug reporting, I'll call "Ubuntu System").
Running this command will create bootstrap/ and var/ directories in
"Ubuntu System" but will just silently stop:
$ sudo debootstrap --arch amd64 artful Ubuntu\ System
While renaming to UbuntuSystem solves the problem:
$ sudo debootstrap --arch amd64 artful UbuntuSystem
Since this was an Artful installation I was doing it from, I tried
grabbing the version from zesty-updates and it happens there as well.
The least it could do is be a bit more verbose (I even tried with
--verbose and it still didn't work)...
