Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.49 Severity: minor Is it possible to pre-check and print something like "Error: etc/apt/apt.conf does not exist" ?
If a relative data-dir is used and/or if for some reason the etc/apt/apt.conf file is not created, running apt-get update through chdist pops up this error: $ chdist -a i386 -d $PWD/test create unstable Now edit /home/testuser/Desktop/test/test/unstable/etc/apt/sources.list Then run chdist apt-get unstable update And enjoy. $ cat test/unstable/etc/apt/sources.list #deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free #deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse #deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted #deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse $ chdist -a i386 -d $PWD/test apt-get unstable update W: Forcing arch i386 for this command only.
