Hi Vincent, Sorry it took so long for me to get back to this problem...

Yes, through mk-prebuilt-images.sh and directly during development of mk-
prebuilt-images.sh. It actually works with cdebootstrap v0.6.4 but not with
later versions...

Docker is required to generate image...

This may suggest an error in cdebootstrap...
I see you've already reported #842579 against cdebootstrap -- thank you.

It was working just a few days ago...

That may give us a clue why it is happening... Do you have enough disk space
on the box? Maybe exporting/compressing image runs out of disk space and
produce invalid file as result?
Anyway I've found a bug that may result in incomplete images because bash
ignores errors in comands used with pipe even with "set -e". I've just
uploaded fix for that ("set -o pipefail").

Noted. I'll think about it. Thanks.
For now I've made some changes that should make image generation more
reliable. Hopefully "--force" won't be necessary.
Thanks again for your help, feedback and testing, Vincent.
Just uploaded 1.7.1+dfsg-2 should fix this problem.
