Bug#703404: debootstrap wheezy Release InRelease error
This is biting me too.
I am trying to do a virt-install on a KVM host.
virt-install --os-type=linux --os-variant=debianwheezy \
--location=http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/
[...more args]
In trying to get a working system, and expanding on suggestions of Jens
Stimpfle, I tried to prevent the Release file getting overwritten:
Executing a shell...
# chroot /target
# rm /var/lib/apt/lists/cdn.debian.net_debian_dists_wheezy_Release
# apt-get update
# chattr +i /var/lib/apt/lists/cdn.debian.net_debian_dists_wheezy_Release
Logout and then retry the Base installation step.
Now "The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1)."
From syslog:
Mar 21 21:51:32 debootstrap: mv: can't rename
'debootstrap.invalid_dists_wheezy_Release': Operation not permitted
If I further
# chattr +i /var/lib/apt/lists/debootstrap.invalid_dists_wheezy_Release
I get in syslog:
Mar 22 00:07:49 debootstrap: mv: can't rename
'/target/var/lib/apt/lists/debootstrap.invalid_dists_wheezy_InRelease':
Operation not permitted
So this is my theory:
At some point a debootstrap.invalid_dists_wheezy_InRelease is downloaded
form the repository InRelease file. It is then renamed to
debootstrap.invalid_dists_wheezy_Release with signature intact, and that
is in turn renamed to cdn.debian.net_debian_dists_wheezy_Release.
Seems like it could possibly be a globbing error.
(I'm suspicious about debootstrap and its
/usr/share/debootstrap/functions but don't have enough bash-fu to
understand it.)
