Apologies Julian, I completely forgot to include details of my (Jammy / 22.04) build host which would have avoided the confusion. Adding it to the report now (although I know it is sort of too late at this point).
** Description changed: The last couple of days, I have been unable to run a successful debootstrap for Noble Numbat. Apparently this is caused by the addition of symlinks (/bin, /lib, /lib64 and /sbin) in base-files 13ubuntu7. According to debootstrap.log, it fails to extract said symlinks because they already exist at that point. - This can be reproduced against any up-to-date Ubuntu public archive - mirror as of today. + This can be reproduced on build hosts running Jammy Jellyfish against + any up-to-date Ubuntu public archive mirror as of today. + + # lsb_release -a + No LSB modules are available. + Distributor ID: Ubuntu + Description: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS + Release: 22.04 + Codename: jammy + + # apt-cache policy debootstrap + debootstrap: + Installed: 1.0.126+nmu1ubuntu0.5 + Candidate: 1.0.126+nmu1ubuntu0.5 + Version table: + *** 1.0.126+nmu1ubuntu0.5 500 + 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages + 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main i386 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + 1.0.126+nmu1 500 + 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages + 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main i386 Packages + Attached shell output of two runs of debootstrap.
