For the umpteenth time: This is a bug in debootstrap and that's where it should be fixed!!! (And you should really read the full logs for Bug#766459 to understand this instead of killing the messenger one more time, base-files does not do anything which is not allowed by policy). Just ask debootstrap maintainers to make an upload for "stable" so that the next point release of wheezy has a fix for this. We *need* a new debootstrap in stable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
