[Bug 2054925] Re: Debootstrap fails for Noble with base-files 13ubuntu7

[Åka Sikrom]

Apologies Julian, I completely forgot to include details of my (Jammy /
22.04) build host which would have avoided the confusion. Adding it to
the report now (although I know it is sort of too late at this point).

** Description changed:

  The last couple of days, I have been unable to run a successful
  debootstrap for Noble Numbat.
  
  Apparently this is caused by the addition of symlinks (/bin, /lib,
  /lib64 and /sbin) in base-files 13ubuntu7. According to debootstrap.log,
  it fails to extract said symlinks because they already exist at that
  point.

  Attached shell output of two runs of debootstrap. First run uses mirror
  archive.ubuntu.com (which as of this report serves base-files version
  13ubuntu7), and second run uses a local custom mirror (which serves
  base-files 13ubuntu6). First run fails, second run succeeds.
