yeeees! That was it!! I investigated how it could happen that an Essential:yes package did not get installed. The reason for that is the following: curl --silent http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/dists/unstable/main/binary-hurd-i386/Packages.xz | unxz | grep-dctrl -F Package netdde The above comes back empty. The netdde package is not part of the unstable suite (but it is present in unreleased) and that's why mmdebstrap does not pick it up when it is told to install a chroot for the suite called "unstable". Is this intentional? Should I add a workaround? I see that "grep" is another Essential:yes package in unreleased (but it is also in unstable). Thanks! cheers, josch
