Package: multistrap
Version: 2.1.6
Severity: minor
Consider the case where multistrap.conf contains:
[General]
debootstrap=Y
aptsources=X
[...]
The user
1. runs multistrap to succesful completion
2. realizes that she forgot to include "mg"
3. adds "mg" to packages= line in multistrap.conf
4. re-runs multistrap
At this point, multistrap will be attempting to bootstrap while
sources.d contains BOTH multistrap-X.conf (from the first run) and
multistrap-Y.conf (from the second run).
If Y is a file: repo and X is an http repo, this can make the second
run take longer / download more than it needs to.
To work around this, I run the following prior to each multistrap run.
If this doesn't conflict with the "stateless" approach, it could be
done in multistrap.
rm -f $dir/etc/apt/sources.d/multistrap-*.conf
