Public bug reported: According to Debian[1] qemu-debootstrap should be able to create a foreign chroot, but the initial command is incorrect and hence fails.
$ sudo qemu-debootstrap --arch=armel testing ./arm qemu-debootstrap http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ I: Running command: debootstrap --arch armel --foreign testing ./arm qemu-debootstrap http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ E: No such script: http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ The rather unusual "qemu-debootstrap" being added to the debootstrap command line and so the command assumes the URL is the name of a script. $ sudo debootstrap --arch armel --foreign testing ./arm http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ works fine.
