Well not really. I just find it strange that when creating a dir chroot, the debootstrap will fail silently immediately after one package falis to download *once*. The dir-chroot creating process should either fail immediately or re-run the debootstrap process again with a warning sent to the logger, but it just continued as if everything is fine *until* the mkdir error happens (which is due to the unclean exit of debootstrap, maybe?) Thanks, Boyuan Yang
