Bug#514098: debootstrap: /dev/fd isn't created

[Frank Lin PIAT <fpiat@klabs.be>]

Package: debootstrap
Version: 0.3.3.2etch1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I have installed a lenny VM under etch using xen-create-image
(package:xen-tools). It uses debootstrap to install the guest system.

The symlink /dev/fd wasn't created during the installation.	

I am not sure which package should create the file (debootstrap, 
mkinitramfs/udev...)

This seems to be fixed in Lenny because running "debootstrap lenny ..."
on a lenny system works fine.


Typically, bash_completion expects to find it (at bash prompt, type
"ls" then press tab), and complains with:
  ls -bash: /dev/fd/62: No such file or directory
  -bash: /dev/fd/60: No such file or directory

As a workaround, one can manually execute:
 ln -s /proc/self/fd /dev/fd

Regards,

Franklin
