Hi Len 
It must be just a stupid pogoplug,
I changed to the main US mirror, and got this:-

debootstrap failed.
See /tmp/debian/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for more information.

So I double checked the site address, and then copied and pasted the
url from the line and ran wget manually
Pogoplug:/tmp$ wget
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xz-utils/xz-utils_5.1.1alpha+20120614-2_armel.deb
Connecting to ftp.us.debian.org (128.30.2.36:80) xz-utils_5.1.1alpha+
100%

233k 00:00:00 ETA Pogoplug:/tmp$ 

So definitely something in debootstrap 1.0.48 thats broken for pogopigs.


try loading squeeze
