Package: debootstrap
Version: 0.3.3
Severity: normal

debootstrap has a default mirror that no longer has all available arches
on it, thanks to the mirror split. It should instead have a per-arch
default or something. 

Also, if it's run using a mirror, such as the default mirror, that has a
debian archive on it, but does not contain the right architecture (arm
in this case), it fails like so:

Setting up debootstrap (0.3.3) ...
jhess@portal1:/localdisk/jhess>sudo debootstrap sid sid        
I: Retrieving Release
I: Retrieving Packages
I: Retrieving Packages
I: Retrieving Packages
I: Resolving dependencies of required packages...
I: Resolving dependencies of base packages...
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /localdisk/jhess/sid mount -t proc proc /proc
zsh: exit 1     sudo debootstrap sid sid

Very non-obvious failure mode when the real problem is that it didn't
find any packages to install at all..

Two issues were raised in this bug.

1. debootstrap didn't fail early and died with a weird mount error
   if a mirror didn't have an arch

   This is no longer the case, for example:

	joey@box:/tmp>sudo debootstrap sid sid http://debian.corenetworks.net/debian/
	[sudo] password for joey: 
	I: Retrieving Release
	I: Retrieving Packages
	I: Retrieving Packages
	I: Retrieving Packages
	E: Couldn't download dists/sid/main/binary-armel/Packages

   That was fixed in version 1.0.10:

  * Abort if a Packages file failed to verify.

2. default mirror not suitable for all arches

   The default mirror is now http.us.debian.org, and that mirror
   (and generally ftp.cc.debian.org (with the exception of ftp.au)
   currently include all release architectures.

So, closing.
