You can easily reproduce it by adding --variant=buildd to the deboostrap command. This is what pbuilder uses. The debootstrap command itself will work, but it won't have apt-get in it and therefore pbuilder or other tools which assume the presence of apt will fail.
To reproduce the failure of pbuilder, call something like sudo /usr/sbin/pbuilder --create --distribution squeeze. -- Fails to debootstrap squeeze chroot due to missing apt-get https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
