Package: cdebootstrap Version: 0.7.5 Severity: normal Hi,
The gitlab-ci-multi-runner package is using cdeboostrap at install time in order to create a docker image that will be latter required for its use (see #842380 for the gitlab-ci-multi-runner part of this problem) cdebootstrap is invocked like that: cdebootstrap \ --flavour=minimal \ --exclude="dmsetup,e2fsprogs,init,systemd-sysv,systemd,udev" \ --include="bash,ca-certificates,git,netcat-traditional" \ stable ./debian-minbase Trying this command manually on my system, or in a plain sid chroot or with testing instead of stable as targeted distribution leads to the same error: # cdebootstrap [..] P: Retrieving Release P: Retrieving Release.gpg [...] P: Configuring package apt P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-apt E: Internal error: install # And the chroot is not fully built (for example, the git package is not installed)... As cdebootstrap reports an 'Internal error', I'm reporting the problem here. Note that the problem seems to come from the exclude list but I do not know what happens. I tried several configuration that all failed: * --exclude="dmsetup" * --exclude="e2fsprogs" * --exclude="init,systemd-sysv,systemd,udev" Perhaps it is not possible to remove any of these packages, but cdebootstrap should then report a more meaningful message.
