Public bug reported:

When trying to create a minimal oneiric install from a natty release, I
get this error:

leonardo@debby: sudo debootstrap oneiric oneiric
[ ... lots of Extracting here ... ]
I: Extracting xz-utils...

W: Failure trying to run: chroot /home/leonardo/oneiric dpkg --force-depends 
--install /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.13-9ubuntu2_amd64.deb

If i try to chroot and execute the dpkg command line I get:

dpkg: error processing libc6 (--install):

And it seems that /var/run is missing:

root@debby:/# ls /var
backups  cache  lib  local  log  mail  opt  spool  tmp

 If I "mkdir /var/run" then I am able to install
libc6 and finish oneiric installation with dpkg.
