[Bug 1596761] Re: Trying to build Debian unstable and testing schroots with mk-sbuild --debootstrap fails

[Ken Sharp]

I suspected that this may still occur, but it looks like it fails even
earlier now.

Setting up usrmerge (39) ...

FATAL ERROR:
Both /sbin/start-stop-daemon and /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon exist.

You can try correcting the errors reported and running again
/usr/lib/usrmerge/convert-usrmerge until it will complete without errors.
Do not install or update other Debian packages until the program
has been run successfully.

E: usrmerge failed.
dpkg: error processing package usrmerge (--configure):
 installed usrmerge package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
dpkg: init-system-helpers: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you requested:
 init-system-helpers depends on usrmerge | usr-is-merged; however:
  Package usrmerge is not configured yet.
  Package usr-is-merged is not installed.
  Package usrmerge which provides usr-is-merged is not configured yet.

Setting up init-system-helpers (1.66) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.37-15) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 usrmerge

This looks like a Debian bug. I'll come back to this.

Title:
  Trying to build Debian unstable and testing schroots with mk-sbuild
  --debootstrap fails

Status in debootstrap package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I tried to set up schroots for Debian unstable and testing with the
  following command:

  mk-sbuild --debootstrap-include=devscripts unstable

  Each time, the creation eventually failed with the following warning
  printed five times:

  W: Failure while configuring base packages.  This will be re-attempted up to five times.
  W: See /var/lib/schroot/chroots/sid-amd64/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package devscripts is at fault)

  I've attached the debootstrap.log file.  When I created an schroot for
  stable, that finished.  It's possible this is an upstream bug in
  Debian's version of devscripts, but I figured I would start here since
  I'm trying to create these schroots on an Ubuntu system.  Tell me if I
  should file this instead against Debian's debootstrap or devscripts.
