Package: deboostrap
Version: 0.3.1.7
When building a new etch chroot, the generated environment is unable
to install new packages using APT. This is because of the new apt
version entering etch. After applying a workaround for #334506
(--exclude=libsigc++-1.2-5c102), I run into this problem:
# debootstrap --resolve-deps --exclude=libsigc++-1.2-5c102 etch \
/tmp/chroot-etch http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian && \
echo "deb http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian etch main" >
/tmp/chroot-etch/etc/apt/sources.list && \
chroot /tmp/chroot-etch apt-get update &&
chroot /tmp/chroot-etch apt-get -y install deborphan

A workaround is to install gnupg in the chroot (--include=gnupg to
debootstrap), and then run 'apt-key add
/usr/share/apt/debian-archive.gpg' in the chroot to get apt to
recognize the mirror signature key.q
I suggest this or similar code is made part of the default debootstrap
rule for etch. An alternative is to get apt to not complain about the
lack of mirror verification when running apt-get, but that kind of
defeats the purpose of adding the mirror checking. :)
I've been told that ubunto solved this problem by installing gnupg on
all installations. It might be a solution for debian too, though we
might want to make a smaller gnupg package with only the verification
programs, to limit the size increase of the base system. Installing
gnupg increases the i386 etch chroot from 139MiB to 147MiB.
