Package: debootstrap Version: 0.3.1.7 Original problem: : Retrieving Release I: Retrieving Packages I: Validating Packages I: Checking component main on http://http.us.debian.org/debian E: Couldn't find these debs: libsigc++-1.2-5c102
How to fix it: a) run apt-cache search libsigc++ and see the list of available debs. Choose one. b) Edit this local file manually: /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/etch - find the failing package in the list of packages and replace it with the right one (manually). IMHO it would be good, if debootstrap took the "etch" script from the mirror instead of from the local filesystem - or the file on the local filesystem should be updated, when the mirror is updated. Maybe there is a mechanism to do this, but I don't know about it.
