Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.67 I run an automated test system. Recently we had a test fail, because an invocation of "xt-install-image" from the xen-tools package failed. xt-install-image printed this:
Installation method: debootstrap Running command 'xt-install-image --hostname=debian.guest.osstest --location=/tmp/enTikPkbpQ --dist=jessie --install-method=debootstrap --mirror=http://ftp.debian.org/debian --cache=yes --cachedir=/var/cache/apt/archives/ --arch=armhf 2>&1' failed with exit code 32512. Aborting See /var/log/xen-tools/debian.guest.osstest.log for details In that logfile (which was nominated by xt-install-image) there is only this: I: Retrieving Release I: Retrieving Release.gpg I: Checking Release signature I: Valid Release signature (key id 75DDC3C4A499F1A18CB5F3C8CBF8D6FD518E17E1) I: Retrieving Packages I: Retrieving Packages E: Couldn't download dists/jessie/main/binary-armhf/Packages Running command '/usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch armhf jessie /tmp/enTikPkbpQ http://ftp.debian.org/debian 2>&1' failed with exit code 256. I think the final message was printed by xt-install-image, and the previous messages by debootstrap. My complaint is about this message: E: Couldn't download dists/jessie/main/binary-armhf/Packages I would like to know: * What URL (or other downlaod technique) was being used * What IPv4 or IPv6 address was being communicated with * Whether the error was due to - a corrupted file and if so please state the location of the corrupted copy and the expected checksum so that the corrupted file can be inspected to see what is wrong - an http error response and if so please print at least the HTTP status line and ideally log the error document somewhere - an http protocol violation and if so a description of what the violation was - a networking system call failure and if so which system call and what the errno value was - something else including appropriate details Thanks, Ian.
