Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.32

This is my first bug report. Bear with me if it's not properly formatted.

I'm getting the error message "The bzcat is not available on the
system" when trying to install Debian sid from the latest daily
debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso, downloaded from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/,
dated 13-Jul-2011 17:22, SHA1
b5701b9f48ab299a4571a736b576c2cf9773cac8.

I'm running the install inside a coLinux 0.7.9 instance on Windows XP
SP3. I don't know if the virtualized environment is relevant, but I
mention it for completeness.

I'm starting the install in expert mode, passing priority=low as a
kernel parameter.

I'm able to get through most of the install, with some warnings about
kernel modules due to the mismatch between the coLinux kernel and the
one expected by the installer. I can provide details about these
errors if requested, but again, I don't believe they are relevant.

The error appears after selecting the "Install the base system" menu
option. Several files are downloaded, and and one point a dialog with
this error appears:

[!!] Install the base system
Debootstrap Error
The following error occurred:
The bzcat is not available on the system
Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 for the details.

The last few lines of /var/log/syslog and console 4 are the following
(complete syslog attached):

If I manually run debootstrap, a similar error occurs (complete
debootstrap output attached):

I was able to get the system installed by manually downloading and
installing bzip2 and libbz2:
~# cd /
~# wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/bzip2/bzip2_1.0.5-6_i386.deb
~# wget 
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/bzip2/libbz2-1.0_1.0.5-6_i386.deb
~# ar x bzip2_1.0.5-6_i386.deb
~# tar xzvf data.tar.gz
~# rm debian-binary data.tar.gz control.tar.gz
~# ar x libbz2-1.0_1.0.5-6_i386.deb
~# tar xzvf data.tar.gz
~# rm debian-binary data.tar.gz control.tar.gz

Some discussion on the OFTC Debian IRC channel pointed to a recent
change to the .deb package format, and the fact that it is now
possible to use bzip2 compression for data.tar, as seen in the
libacl1_2.2.51-2_i386.deb, for example. It seems
debootstrap/debian-installer are not downloading this new requirement
before trying to install the system. Someone suggested that the issue
might actually be that bzip2 is not tagged as "Essential: yes".

I purposely left out the d-i tag, because I've read that the direct
installation of sid is not supported. Identical installations of
stable and testing work fine.

Please let me know if you need any more information. Thank you.
