It actually occurs multiple times in the log.
After looking at this a bit it seems that the smallyes function is both
broken and no longer required.
It is broken because it is called as:
$ grep smallyes /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/sid
smallyes '' | in_target dpkg --force-depends --install $(debfor "$@")
smallyes '' |
smallyes '' |
smallyes '' |
smallyes '' |
And the function itself has:
YES="${1-y}"
which probably should have been:
YES="${1:-y}"
As it is smallyes only echos an endless stream of newlines...
I ran an install with a 'return 0' at the top of smallyes, and that completed
successfully, so it seems that probably we can just remove the use of smallyes,
at least from the "sid" script.
Cheers,
FJP
