Package: debootstrap Version: 0.3.1.4 Severity: important The following commands currently produce errors.

E: Couldn't find these debs: 33024830 There are two problems: - the definitions for these arches produce a package list in which some packages are included more than once - the function 'download_release' does not handle that situation very nicely, resulting in the weird error (reports a size instead of package name) The errors can be solved with the following patch: --- sarge 2005-07-24 20:35:05.497984337 +0200 +++ sarge.new 2005-07-24 20:29:17.630895732 +0200 @@ -40,7 +40,6 @@ ;; "m68k") required="$required libreadline4" - required="$required libreadline4" base="$base atari-bootstrap atari-fdisk amiga-fdisk eject mac-fdisk pmac-fdisk-cross vmelilo" IPFWTOOL="ipchains" ;; @@ -81,7 +80,7 @@ required="$(without_package "libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2" "$required")" ;; "amd64") - required="$required libtext-iconv-perl zlib1g" + #required="$required libtext-iconv-perl zlib1g" base="$base pciutils psmisc" IPFWTOOL="iptables" ;; The first case for m68k is obvious; for amd64 both "libtext-iconv-perl" and "zlib1g" are already present in $base. A better, more structural solution would of course be to make 'download_release' handle doubles in the list of packages (sort and uniq?).
