Package: scsitools Version: 0.12-2.1 Severity: normal I'm doing a debootstrap fakechroot install as a normal user like this:
fakeroot fakechroot debootstrap --include=scsitools --variant=fakechroot testing testroot this results in the following output, followed by debootstrap returning a non-zero errorcode: 0 testing@ape:~$ fakeroot fakechroot debootstrap --include=scsitools --variant=fakechroot testing testroot I: Retrieving InRelease I: Checking Release signature I: Valid Release signature (key id 9FED2BCBDCD29CDF762678CBAED4B06F473041FA) I: Retrieving Packages I: Validating Packages I: Resolving dependencies of required packages...
