The errors below seem to be hunting for "source" packages. Perhaps you are missing an option to add apt sources for "source" packages? (I haven't used multistrap sorry.) ... > Reading package lists... > E: Unable to find a source package for debian-archive-keyring > Reading package lists... > E: Unable to find a source package for debianutils > Reading package lists... > E: Unable to find a source package for diffutils > Reading package lists... > E: Unable to find a source package for dpkg ... > Multistrap system installed successfully in /work/multistrap/chroot/. > deb [arch=amd64] http://http.debian.net/debian stretch main > deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian stretch main Are these two lines part of the log, or did you add them to that log? (Also, I recommend running an apt (or squid) proxy, so that you don't re-download packages unnecessarily.) Good luck,
