but that's not where the error comes from. From the output you posted in your report it seems like mmdebstrap is not able to create the temporary directory at all. Obviously it cannot change permissions of something that doesn't exist. I don't think mmdebstrap should attempt touching the permissions of the $TMPDIR directory. Also: the sticky bit probably has no influence on whether or not you get the "permission denied" error, right? Thanks! cheers, josch
