Unfortunately, this is broken as well. debootstrap's debian/rules files contains the following target: binary-basedebs: dh_testdir dh_testroot $(MAKE) pkgdetails ln -s . scripts for a in $(ARCHES); do \ rm -rf chroot-dir; \ mkdir -p chroot-dir; \ DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR=. ./debootstrap --arch $$a --download-only $(SUITE) chroot-dir $(MIRROR); \ (cd chroot-dir && tar cf ../../basedebs_$(VERSION)_$$a.tar *); \ rm -rf chroot-dir; \ done rm -f scripts Thus, the correct commands are mkdir -p chroot-dir debootstrap --arch powerpc --download-only woody chroot-dir http://ftp.debian.org/debian (cd chroot-dir && tar cf ../basedebs_3.0_powerpc.tar *) rm -rf chroot-dir If desired, I'll document this in the manual. I'd rather remove them entirely, however. Why would the user want to rebuild the tarball? Matt
