Thank you for your response…
debootstrap --resolve-deps appears to only be a valid option for the 'unstable' release… I'm not sure why I'm having trouble with the 'stable' version.
Is there a query that can be run to check that my apt-move respository is valid (in particular the Release files)? Is there something I can look for? What's it supposed to look like?
Was what I did with debootstrap/scripts/stable correct?
Thanks again
Rich
