 Thanks, it solves this problem :)

 Just showing some errors about it is fine, IMO.

I suspect it's due to this kernel change:
https://sources.debian.org/src/linux-latest/90/debian/linux-image.NEWS/#L15
Can you check that?

debootstrap could perhaps warn about the need to enable vsyscalls for
old amd64 distributions.  (Annoyingly, there's no easy way to detect
whether they are currently enabled.)

Bug#891393: Old Ubuntu release chroot cannot be created with debootstrap on Debian

package: debootstrap
severity: minor

Hi,

 When I run debootstrap to create old Ubuntu release (until karmic(*),
 lucid is okay)  on Debian, it causes segfault.
