We have our own Devuan debootstrap, which for a period was used by sister distro antiX (hello!) and I'm sorry you had to go through a bug in amprolla, now fixed. http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=09000 you can substitute our debootstrap everywhere you find the old one We started applying the patch by Kenshi Muto for the EXCLUDE directive which was never merged in Debian. https://git.devuan.org/d-i/debootstrap/commits/master debootstrap is basically one script file, which I'd like one day to rewrite in Zsh :^P see https://git.devuan.org/d-i/debootstrap/raw/master/debootstrap this is our file to substitute all occurrences of the broken debootstrap. debootstrap is one of the first things we started maintaining separate from Debian... ciao
