You should probably file it under debootstrap instead of lxc. On ubuntu 14.04 (debootstrap 1.0.59ubuntu0.1), all ubuntu releases (e.g. "precise") script under /usr/share/debootsrap is a symlink to "gutsy", which has this
case $ARCH in amd64|i386) default_mirror http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ;; sparc) case $SUITE in gutsy) default_mirror http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ;; *) default_mirror http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports ;; esac ;; *) default_mirror http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports ;; esac My guess is under fedora the links somehow got broken (e.g. points to a debian release, like "stable"), or something else changed that caused the lines above got removed. -- Fajar On Thu, Jul 3, 2014 at 7:38 AM, Ajith Adapa <ajith.ad...@gmail.com> wrote: > Filled a bug in Fedora Bugzilla @ > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1115728 > > Regards, > Ajith > > On Wed, Jul 2, 2014 at 10:41 PM, Michael H.
