Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.39
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

I'm trying to create a debian system and after I call:

debootstrap --verbose --arch=i386 --include=quagga,linux-
image-686-pae,syslinux,vim,gawk wheezy /media/jffs2 ftp://ftp.lug.ro/debian

I'm getting this error:

I: Extracting liblzma5...
I: Extracting xz-utils...

/var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_6.7_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/base-
passwd_3.5.24_i386.deb

I've tried to run the command and the output is:

So, if you can replicate the problem without debootstrap, the problem is
clearly not in debootstrap. Just a tip to help you narrow in on actual
causes of bugs in the future..

Apparently somehow your jffs2 filesystem prevents cp -p from working,
in at least some circumstances. You need to figure out why; quite a lot
of packages use cp -p. My guess is some sort of mount option.

Closing this bug as there is not a bug in debootstrap.
