Package: mmdebstrap Severity: wishlist This fails:
# mkdir -p /mnt/var # mount /dev/sdb /mnt/var # mmdebstrap buster /mnt I: automatically chosen mode: root I: chroot architecture amd64 is equal to the host's architecture E: /mnt is not empty While I understand the idea (we don't want to destroy things i guess?), it seems rather inconvenient if we want to split data across different partitions which, I suspect, is still a valid use case for various reasons. It might be worth adding a commandline flag to allow such behavior, at least... -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.9 APT prefers stable-debug APT policy: (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable'), (1, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages mmdebstrap depends on: ii apt 1.8.2.2 ii perl 5.28.1-6+deb10u1 ii perl-doc 5.28.1-6+deb10u1 ii python3 3.7.3-1 Versions of packages mmdebstrap recommends: ii arch-test 0.15-2+deb10u1 ii fakechroot 2.19-3.2 ii fakeroot 1.23-1 ii gpg 2.2.12-1+deb10u1 ii libdistro-info-perl 0.21 ii mount 2.33.1-0.1 ii uidmap 1:4.5-1.1 Versions of packages mmdebstrap suggests: ii apt [apt-transport-https] 1.8.2.2 pn apt-transport-tor <none> ii apt-utils 1.8.2.2 ii binfmt-support 2.2.0-2 ii ca-certificates 20200601~deb10u2 ii debootstrap 1.0.114 ii distro-info-data 0.41+deb10u3 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.7 ii perl-doc 5.28.1-6+deb10u1 pn proot <none> ii qemu-user 1:3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u8 ii qemu-user-static 1:3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u8 pn squashfs-tools-ng <none>
