This is then a feature request for debootstrap. Please see that package.
Note that debootstrap across distributions is not necessarily expected
to work.

Like it says at the end of the debotstrap man page:

   Note that you will generally need a recent version of debootstrap to do
   this; the version currently in stable will generally have stopped work‐
   ing due to changes to unstable shortly after the last release.

AFAICS the other reported problems, with --second-stage have nothing to do
with base-config. I don't know why you're trying to use --second-stage, but
the man page documents how to use it:

   --foreign
  Do the initial unpack phase of bootstrapping only,  for  example
  if the target architecture does not match the host architecture.
  A copy of debootstrap sufficient for  completing  the  bootstrap
  process will be installed as /deboostrap/debootstrap in the tar‐
  get filesystem.

Bug#356709: missing base-config breaks building of new chroots

2006-04-10 Thread Wolfgang Lonien
Hi all,

may I mention that with base-config now missing, I'm not able to build
chroots anymore?

On Sid (trying to build a Sid chroot) I get:
electra2-sid:/# debootstrap --second-stage
bash: debootstrap: command not found (from within the chroot)

and

electra2-sid:/home/wjl# debootstrap --second-stage
cat: /usr/lib/debootstrap/suite: No such file or directory

from without.

On Sarge (trying to build a Sid chroot) I get:
E: Couldn't download base-config (while debootstrapping)

And finally, in the debootstrap (8) manpage, the final init-command also
fails.

Kind regards,
wjl aka Wolfgang Lonien
