Public bug reported:
It looks like creating a new chroot via debootstrap fails for oracular
when extracting base-files. Further investigation shows that this is due
to base-files now containing certain directory symlinks which
debootstrap has already set up. The per-series encironment
(/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts), which basically is the same since
Gutsy, changes the tar options to use "-k" which treats the attempt to
replace files as an error.
The change in base-files appears to be: 13.3ubuntu2
...
base-files (13.3) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Helmut Grohne ]
* DEP17: Install /usr-merge aliasing symlinks. Closes: #1064459.
To fix this (verified) we could change the "-k" in a new oracular
debootstrap file into "--keep-directory-symlink". Or have it not set
those up.
