Hi, thank you for reporting this!

Thus, to print the contents of a variable, printf should always be used with %s as the first argument. I believe Jochen fixed this correctly already here: https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/josch/mmdebstrap/commit/9366f1fee77fe853f3059660cba9df63a11e37ad Thanks! cheers, josch
