Bug#472704: I face same issue W: Failure while configuring base packages.

[Olivier Sallou <olivier.sallou@irisa.fr>]

debootstrap --arch amd64 --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg  sid
/mnt/debootstrap.21191 ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian

This used to work not a long time ago, so it seems it occured after a
package update....
