Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.32 Severity: wishlist Hello,
when running debootstrap on a possibly incomplete mirror, I found it very useful to have version and architecture information in "Can't download package" error messages, so I changed this line: warning COULDNTDL "Couldn't download package %s" "$p" with this line: warning COULDNTDL "Couldn't download package %s %(ver %%s %arc %%s)" %"$p" %"$ver" %"$arc" It was so useful that I cannot see a reason why this is not the default. Could this be added, if not as default, at least when runnning with --verbose? A possible improvement could be to print the whole URL for which download was attempted, but I couldn't find out how easy it would be to do that.
