Public bug reported: The documentation for debootstrap is broken and also needs reorganization. It lives here:
https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/arm64/apds03.en.html To put this in "Appendix D: Random Bits" is a bit unsettling. It should have a chapter of its own sitting in parallel to the installer guides. The main bug is telling users to run commands inside chroot that must run outside of chroot. The first paragraph says: "$ symbolizes a command to be entered in the user's current system, while # refers to a command entered in the Debian chroot." Then every command given on that page follows a hash. E.g. "# mke2fs -j /dev/sda6". That's impossible. You can't chroot before you have a filesystem. Normally the best place to report this would be the "www.debian.org" /project/ in the Debian bug tracker, but the Debian bug tracker only function by email and last time I checked the mail server did not accept email from me. If someone would mirror this upstream it would be appreciated. ** Affects: debootstrap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1929239 Title: debootstrap documentation bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/+bug/1929239/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
