Package: sbuild Version: 0.70.0-1 Severity: important User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-kali
Hello, in Kali our main suite is named "kali-rolling" and our development release is called "kali-dev". When we try to use sbuild-createchroot, it will incorrectly assume that "kali-rolling" is a variant of "kali" and will fail a bit later trying to use the "kali" release (which used to exist at some point). My suggestion is to add some intelligence in the code which decides if it's a variant or a real release. If there is a /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/$suite, then assume it's a real repository and not a variant. If it doesn't exist then try to split on the last dash, and redo the same check to see if you split at the correct place. Otherwise try the next dash (going from right to left). In Kali we have "kali-dev-only" and "kali-rolling-only" that should be parsed as variants of kali-dev and kali-rolling respectively. We also have kali-bleeding-edge which I shall rename into kali-rolling-bleeding-edge to make it respect the naming logic expected by sbuild-createchroot. This has been broken in this version with the change developed for #826957. It would be better if debootstrap had some "--list-releases" option so that we don't have to rely on implementation details of debootstrap but this doesn't exist yet... Alternatively, you need to add an option so that we can override this variant detection logic.
