Hello all, Sorry for barging in on your conversation but this doesn't seems to be resolved yet.
Debootstrap by default has --resolve-deps flag turned on, the problem is on that it tries to install a virtual package libstdc++-dev. (Check target-system/debootstrap/deboostrap.log. When I tried to install that package on my system, I get the following error: apt-get install libstdc++-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Package libstdc++-dev is a virtual package provided by: libstdc++6-dev 3.4.6-5 libstdc++6-4.1-dev 4.1.1-21 libstdc++5-3.3-dev 1:3.3.6-15 You should explicitly select one to install. E: Package libstdc++-dev has no installation candidate This is fixable by adding option --include=libstdc++6-dev thus hinting installer on what to do. Which is not big deal, but it should not occur in the first place. You can try other packages mentioned above, but the results may vary. The same error, obviously, occurs on i386 but somehow debootstrap manages to resolve it, which is not the case on amd64. The error is totally reproducible, you just have to pass correct parameters. If you have a 32-bit system it still can be done, use option --foreign-image, that would download all the necessary packages but will not run scripts - the important thing is that it would go past dependency resolution. So if you run something like debootstrap --foreign-image --arch amd64 etch target_root_fs http:/debian_mirror/ you'll get the error.
