Here is the output: a couple of things. 1) only remove the -libtasn1-2-bin line as the other package exists. 2) I don't have cdebootstrap installed, but I do have debootstrap. It mentions that trying to install sid from stable won't work do to changes in the system. I would suspect the same is true of cdebootstrap. You could install etch with it and then migrate that etch install, or you could pull in the sid version of cdebootstrap and try that. > > # ~/bin/cdeboot.sh > + cdebootstrap sid /mnt/hdisk/sid-root http://debian.mirrors.tds.net/debian/ > P: Retrieving Release.gpg ... > P: Configuring package libusb-0.1-4 > P: Configuring package gpgv > P: Configuring package gnupg > P: Configuring package debian-archive-keyring > P: Configuring package apt > P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-apt > E: Couldn't install system due to errors! > -----------------end----------------- > > I can't see anything that looks like an error message (before the last > line). in the world of unhelpful herror messages, that really takes the cake.
