** Description changed: [Impact] 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 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. First run uses mirror archive.ubuntu.com (which as of this report serves base-files version 13ubuntu7), and second run uses a local custom mirror (which serves base-files 13ubuntu6). First run fails, second run succeeds. [Test plan] Successfully for each of focal, jammy, mantic, noble - debootstrap - - mksbuild - - pbuilder whatever chroot management tool it has + - mk-sbuild + - pbuilder-dist $release create - ubuntu-image, if we can pull debootstrap from proposed for this as well as - debootstrap noble --merged-usr - [Where problems could occur] We do not anticipate any regressions as we replace the previous *) case for usrmerge for post-hirsute with a new jammy|kinetic|lunar|mantic one, and the new solution will only impact noble and onward. That said, this is a different approach than mantic and newer take, and a different approach than Debian takes, where they moved to merging post-extraction, even in stable releases.
