Package: debootstrap Severity: normal
Hi, I seemed to be having the same issue, here is my info. I have been trying to bootstrap several openvz instances with debootstrap incantations similar to: $sudo debootstrap --variant minbase --include=aptitude,netbase,ifupdown,puppet,lsb-release sid /var/lib/vz/private/305 http://apt:3142/ftp.us.debian.org/debian I received the errors about base packages: W: Failure while configuring base packages. W: Failure while configuring base packages. W: Failure while configuring base packages. W: Failure while configuring base packages. W: Failure while configuring base packages. I thought maybe it does like sid, lets try lenny. Lenny was sucessful. Ok, lets try sid without the minbase and --includes. (e.g. $sudo debootstrap sid /var/lib/vz/private/305 http://apt:3142/ftp.us.debian.org/debian That was sucessfull. Perhaps the bug is fixed, not-reproduceable. I went back to the original incantation, added --verbose. The debootstrap log in /var/lib/vz/private/305/debootstrap had errors complaining the puppet was not configured, missing dependency of (host | bind9-host). I added bind9-host to list of includes and all is now working. I said all that to say that the bug may be fixed, I have no idea of what fixed it, the official way to document that it may be resolved. I also don't know exactly why the dependencies weren't picked up, even with --resolv-dep. The actual depency chain looks like puppet depends on factor, factor depends on (host | bind9-host). factor is pulled in automagically, bind9-host is not.
