Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.40 Severity: normal Affects: xen-tools Dear Maintainer,
while testing xen-tools I noticed that debootstrap can no more bootstrap the Ubuntu releases Warty, Hoary, Breeazy, Dapper or Edgy. (Only the last two matter for xen-tools.) In those cases debootstrap fails with the following error message, even with the correct mirror (cf. http://bugs.debian.org/676370): # /usr/sbin/debootstrap --no-check-gpg --verbose --arch=i386 dapper /tmp/EsVv1M2Clj http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu I: Retrieving Release E: Invalid Release file, no entry for main/binary-i386/Packages # /usr/sbin/debootstrap --no-check-gpg --verbose --arch i386 edgy /tmp/EsVv1M2Clj http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu I: Retrieving Release E: Invalid Release file, no entry for main/binary-i386/Packages # It doesn't make a difference with or without "--no-check-gpg".
