Package: pbuilder Version: 0.163 Severity: wishlist Hi, passing arguments to --debootstrapopts with spaces can be tricky, the solution is to use multiple --debootstrapopts, i.e.:
# pbuilder create --debbootstrapopts "-a i386" --debug --basetgz sid32.tar.gz --mirror http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian + cdebootstrap --variant=buildd '-a i386' sid . http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian this doesn't work of course, a possibile solution would be to set IFS=' ' just before debootstrap invocation so the correct expansion is used, and restore it afterwards. Specifying multiple times --debootstrapopts indeed works as expected: # pbuilder create --debootstrapopts -a --debootstrapopts i386 --debug --basetgz sid32.tar.gz --mirror http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian + cdebootstrap --variant=buildd -a i386 sid . http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian either way, I think this needs to be documented in the man page :) thanks, filippo -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (600, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17.14-susp2 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages pbuilder depends on: ii cdebootstrap 0.3.15 Bootstrap a Debian system ii coreutils 6.0-1 The GNU core utilities ii debianutils 2.17.5 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii debootstrap 0.3.3.1 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii gcc 4:4.1.1-15 The GNU C compiler ii wget 1.10.2+1.11.alpha1-1 retrieves files from the web Versions of packages pbuilder recommends: ii cowdancer 0.25 Copy-on-write directory tree utili ii devscripts 2.9.27 Scripts to make the life of a Debi ii fakeroot 1.5.12 Gives a fake root environment ii sudo 1.6.8p12-4 Provide limited super user privile -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
