I am getting the same error, but I don't think it's a problem with chroot. Chroot is complaining that it can't find /mnt/usb/bin/mount (from the above example), which means that an earlier part of debootstrap failed to put it there. From the debootstrap.log above (and I have the same errors in mine) the first error is:
ar: /mnt/usb/: File format not recognized So that's where debootstrap is breaking (or giving the first error message). After reading this forum, I tried bootstraping the previous version of Ubuntu (breezy, as I am running dapper) and it appears to be working (it did not fail at the same point as earlier). It looks like debootstrap'ing the previous version works but doing the same as the system you run it on fails. -- debootstrap can't chroot https://launchpad.net/bugs/77589 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
