Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.75 Followup-For: Bug #586158 Hi,
it seems this problem is still present in the most recent version, but manifests differently (possibly earlier, in addition to the failure reported back in 2010, dunno). Here's what I did: matthijs@grubby:~/docs/Virtual machines$ sudo debootstrap sid sid-chroot http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ I: Retrieving Release I: Retrieving Release.gpg I: Checking Release signature I: Valid Release signature (key id 126C0D24BD8A2942CC7DF8AC7638D0442B90D010) matthijs@grubby:~/docs/Virtual machines$ cat sid-chroot/debootstrap/debootstrap.log gpgv: Signature made Fri Dec 4 09:58:57 2015 CET using RSA key ID 46925553 gpgv: Good signature from "Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (7.0/wheezy) <[email protected]>" gpgv: Signature made Fri Dec 4 09:58:57 2015 CET using RSA key ID 2B90D010 gpgv: Good signature from "Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (8/jessie) <[email protected]>" sed: can't read /home/matthijs/docs/Virtual: No such file or directory Apparently the path isn't escaped properly when passing it to sed. I haven't tried fixing it, or seeing if there are other problems, though. Gr.
