Bug#731859: debootstrap: variant=fakechroot fails
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.55
Severity: normal
Running debootstrap under Debian Sid yields:
$ fakeroot fakechroot debootstrap --verbose --variant=fakechroot sid debian-sid
[...]
I: Installing core packages...
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /home/josch/debian-sid dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_7.2_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.28_amd64.deb
W: See /home/josch/debian-sid/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package archive is at fault)
And the last lines of the log say:
dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 5 package 'dpkg':

dpkg: base-files: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you requested:
