Bug#1071652: Man page forgets to mention actual --second-stage usage
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.128+nmu2+deb12u1
Man page says:
--second-stage
Complete the bootstrapping process. Other arguments are generally not needed.
Well one cannot just run these two in sequence:
SYNOPSIS
debootstrap [OPTION...] SUITE TARGET [MIRROR [SCRIPT]]
debootstrap [OPTION...] --second-stage
On https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/355197/179494 we see the answer.
Therefore the man page must kindly also mention: "to run the second stage,
chroot to where you've unpacked the archive, and run
/debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
"
