Bug#631390: debootstrap: Installing core packages failes in fakechroot variant
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.32
Severity: important
Hi
I am having problems with debootstrap (1.0.32) in conjunction with the
fakechroot variant. I am using the same commands as the example in the
fakechroot(1) manual:
$ export
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
$ export FAKECHROOT_CMD_SUBST=/usr/bin/mkfifo=/bin/true:/sbin/insserv=/bin/true
$ fakeroot fakechroot /usr/sbin/debootstrap --variant=fakechroot sid sidchroot/
This prints:

I: Checking Release signature

--force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_6.4_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.22_amd64.deb
The file sidchroot/debootstrap/debootstrap.log afterwards contains:
gpgv: Signature made Thu Jun 23 10:21:04 2011 CEST using RSA key ID 473041FA
gpgv: Good signature from "Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (6.0/squeeze)
<ftpmaster@debian.org>"
dpkg: error: unable to access dpkg status area: No such file or directory
The error looks similar to the one reported in #493065 and #588773. The
difference is the error in the log-file.
Besides this, the directory sidchroot is not an NFS share or similar as
reported in some other bug-reports. In addition, sidchroot/var/lib/dpkg/status
is existing and contains:
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.0.3
Maintainer: unknown
Status: install ok installed
Using debootstrap with another variant works fine.
Maybe you can help here.
Thanks in advance.
Sebastian
