Just did a double check on this by running debootstrap by hand for several revs. wheezy - worked sid - worked raring (Ubuntu) - failed precise - failed trusty - failed [root@hydra ~]# debootstrap raring ./raring-chroot I: Keyring file not available at /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg; switching to https mirror https://mirrors.kernel.org/debian I: Retrieving Release E: Failed getting release file https://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/raring/Release [root@hydra ~]# debootstrap precise ./precise-chroot I: Keyring file not available at /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg; switching to https mirror https://mirrors.kernel.org/debian I: Retrieving Release E: Failed getting release file https://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/precise/Release [root@hydra mhw]# debootstrap trusty ./trusty-chroot I: Keyring file not available at /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg; switching to https mirror https://mirrors.kernel.org/debian I: Retrieving Release E: Failed getting release file https://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/trusty/Release I think that's pretty clearly a problem in some of the debootstrap version scripts running on Fedora 20 against the URLs at mirrors.kernel.org. > I haven't tried it yet but I strongly suspect the Debian template will > be similarly broken.
