smallyes '' | repeat 5 in_target_msg "unpacking required packages. This will be attempted 5 times." dpkg --force-depends --unpack $(debfor $required)
that msg with the spaces is protected by quotes so it appears as $1 to repeat(), but it isn't protected when repeat() passes it to in_target_msg(). I changed the string to "\"unpacking required packages. This will be attempted 5 times.\"" and that worked. Needed in the two places that use repeat 5 in_target_msg. btw, I test debootstrap with the following, which tests the relevant code paths: debootstrap --boot-floppies --arch ia64 sid ./target file:/mirror/debian 3>&2 Richard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
