-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: debootstrap Version: 0.3.3
debootstrap, debootstrap somewhat patched as described for bug # 350583. If running: Puter#~/> debootstrap --arch i386 sarge /mnt/debinst \ http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian on a Slackware Linux 1.2.3 system, the debootstrap package, downloads packages properly and executes this command: chroot /mnt/debinst dpkg --force-all --install \ var/cache/apt/archives/<package name> and fails. if trying manually, i find that: chroot /mnt/debinst dpkg --force-all \ --install /var/cache/apt/archives/<package name> does work. So a leading slash does help. Similar: "chroot /mnt/debinst ls bin/ls" fails. But "chroot /mnt/debinst ls /bin/ls" does work.. Looking into scripts sarge and sarge.build I see these paths are generated by the script named "functions", and is emitted at row 369 by a utility function "debfor". change: script named functions, row 369 was: echo $path changed to echo /$path This seems to help in my particular case. debootstrap moves on unpacking and configuring packages. But in general I suspect it to be a bad solution. Maybe the need of this extra / should be user-supplied in some better way or the need of it beeing calculated/tested.
