Severity: normal
If debootstrap outputs this:
+ echo E: CORRUPTFILE
+ echo EA: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/binary-i386/Pack=
ages.gz
+ echo EF: %s was corrupt
+ exit 1
(This is just an example, and is normally a warning, not an error, but
any error would be handled the same.)
run-debootstrap does this:

ing SECTION Retrieving Packages files
Nov 3 00:36:26 frontend: Adding [SECTION] -> [Retrieving Packages files]

Nov 3 00:36:26 frontend: --> GO
The code block to handle E: codes is not firing at all, probably=20
because the sig_child handler arrives nearly immediatly after the error tex=
t.
So for an error run-debootstrap doesn't pay any attention to the E:
codes which it could use to display a nice informative error message and
instead it just displays the nearly useless message about debootstrap
existing nonzero.
Fixing this will make it much easier to debug debootstrap problems. It
seems to me that run-debootstrap should take care to consume all of its
stdin and process it and display any appropriate messages to the user
even if it's already received a SIGCHILD. Currently it checks several
places for child_exit to be set and exits immediatly if it is.

Description:
base-installer - Install the base system (udeb)
Closes: 337191
Changes:
base-installer (1.37) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Remove sigchld handler in run_debootstrap. It caused it to stop processing
before it got to debootstrap error messages, so useful error messages
were not displayed. Closes: #337191
* Temporarily switch back to using initrd-tools for 2.6, until
initramfs-tools is in testing.
