Bug#714107: deboostrap gpg fatal error 'Bad address' with wheezy and sid on QNAP
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.52
I'm trying to install a Debian chroot environment under a QNAP NAS with Intel
Atom processor (i386 - 32 bit).
I'm able to download and install Debian squeeze correctly using this command
and the lastest debootstrap (v1.0.52):
[/share/HDA_DATA/debootstrap] # ./usr/sbin/debootstrap --no-check-gpg --no-
check-certificate --arch i386 squeeze /share/HDA_DATA/newdebian http://ftp.it.

However, if I clear the output folder and try to do the same with 'wheezy' I
get:

check-certificate --arch i386 wheezy /share/HDA_DATA/newdebian http://ftp.it.

With 'sid' the result is the same:

check-certificate --arch i386 sid /share/HDA_DATA/newdebian http://ftp.it.

By looking to the debootstrap.log file of both wheezy and sid, the error
message is the following (I don't know if I'm allowed to attach the comple
log):
## cut ##

Googling I've found this thread which summarizes my same issue:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=87879
but, unfortunately, without any answer.
About a year ago I installed sid correctly by using this method, so something
must have gone wrong with debootstrap recently.
I cannot remember now what version of debootstrap I used (probably around v1.
0.30), but it worked.
