Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.123

I’m using ganeti to create an ubuntu 20 “focal” VM on a debian 11 host, but it 
always fails with the following output (pulled from debootstrap.log on the 
instance disk):

Setting up passwd (1:4.8.1-1ubuntu5) ...

I followed ganeti-instance-debootstrap instructions, in which case the ‘focal’ 
variant is just a symlink to ‘gutsy’, so I’m not sure what else to try. In case 
it helps, Debian 11 and Ubuntu 18 (bionic) instances work without error.

Some more version information, if helpful:
