I just want to report on things that went wrong with debootstrap for me and what I had to do to fix them: Usually I would run debootstrap on my woody-box like # debootstrap sid ./target http://my-mirror/debian (with gcc for dpkg --print-architecture installed). Since some time last week (I can't nail this down more exactly unfortunately) when I do the same I get: -- snip -- # debootstrap sid ./target http://my-mirror/debian I: Retrieving http://my-mirror/debian/dists/sid/Release /usr/sbin/debootstrap: 0 + : syntax error: operand expected (error token is " ") -- snap -- Some people I know running woody boxes tried the same, with the same result (on a potato boxes where I built debootstrap from source no difference). Using # debootstrap --arch i386 sid ./target http://breughel/debian/ everything worked just fine. To check whether this error still occurs, I installed debootstrap_0.1.15.7_i386.deb (and wget + gcc) in this chroot and tried it (on a "broken" box) from there. Everything worked fine, even without --arch. Kind regards, Jens -- ruehmkorf at informatik dot uni hyphen koeln dot de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
