Hi, This problem also manifests when trying to create a sid bootstrap on amd64.
$ uname -a Linux pc8210 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jan 10 22:40:40 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ dpkg -s cdebootstrap | grep '^Version' Version: 0.5.5 $ sudo cdebootstrap sid sid-chroot/ http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian P: Retrieving Release P: Retrieving Release.gpg P: Validating Release I: Good signature from "Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (5.0/lenny) <ftpmas...@debian.org>" P: Parsing Release P: Retrieving Packages.gz P: Validating Packages.gz P: Parsing Packages P: Retrieving libc-bin P: Validating libc-bin P: Retrieving liblocale-gettext-perl P: Validating liblocale-gettext-perl [...] P: Configuring package util-linux P: Configuring package mount P: Configuring package initscripts P: Configuring package sysvinit E: Internal error: install If the same command is ran again immediately, it succeeds: $ sudo cdebootstrap sid sid-chroot/ http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian P: Retrieving Release P: Retrieving Release.gpg P: Validating Release I: Good signature from "Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (5.0/lenny) <ftpmas...@debian.org>" P: Parsing Release P: Validating Packages.gz P: Parsing Packages P: Validating libc-bin P: Validating liblocale-gettext-perl [...] P: Configuring package tasksel-data P: Configuring package tasksel P: Deconfiguring helper cdebootstrap-helper-apt P: Deconfiguring helper cdebootstrap-helper-rc.d P: Deconfiguring helper cdebootstrap-helper-makedev P: Writing apt sources.list P: Writing hosts P: Writing resolv.conf This makes 'pbuilder create' fail every time (and of course, changing to debootstrap does not help, it fails in another way).
