I do not have the available bandwidth to install Buster. In Stretch perl is 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 but is 5.28.1-6 in Buster. Is it feasible to run under Stretch? How?mmdebstrap has no tight dependencies so you should be able to simply install the Buster package in Stretch and try use it.
My command was:mmdebstrap --variant=required stretch test1.tar file:///media/richard/dvds/dvd1.iso
The error received was:
sh: 1: fakechroot: not found sh: 1: proot: not found E: unable to pick chroot mode automatically
That was resolved by installing "fakechroot". I had read the man page as implying the use of a tar file did not require it.
That left me with the problem of telling the instance of apt being run internally by mmdebstrap that dvd1.iso is trusted. I unsuccessfully tried using the distribution DVD itself.
What is the proper syntax to use dvd1.iso {preferred} or DVD in drive {last resort} as my repository?
