Indeed, adding Preinstall: in the project configuration works around the issue. Another way, and that’s how we do it in Apertis, is to use buildengine: debootstrap. That way obs-build only creates a minimal chroot necessary to run debootstrap, and then debootstrap is going to do the right thing. -- Cheers, Andrej
