Everything works fine until I get a "Base system installation
error""
debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1)
Virtual Console 3 says:
tar: Unrecognised file type
The error means busybox doesnt know if the file being extracted is a
regular file or directory or symlink etc, which is very strange, ive
not
seen the error triggered before (and i wrote the code).
I would really like to know what triggered it. Any idea which debian
package
or tarfile it was trying to extract ?
I don't know which package is at fault, but it sounds like fallout
from bug 230872.
I see this too, furthermore, i seem to be no more given the choice of
installing testing or unstable.
Anyway, i just wanted to say that it would be very helpfull if the
debootstrap failure message would include also a mention to the package
which triggered the failure.
Friendly,
