[Bug 2065775] Re: buffer overflow during debootstrap --variant=fakechroot

[Ken Sharp]

This occurs on Debian Testing and Unstable too when trying to
debootstrap both Noble and Oracular, but not Debian Stable, Testing or
Unstable.

Workaround is --exclude=mawk.

** Description changed:

  Running a debootstrap fakechroot fails during mawk set up.
  
  $ fakechroot fakeroot debootstrap --variant=fakechroot noble noble
  
  Setting up mawk (1.3.4.20240123-1build1) ...
  *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
  Aborted (core dumped)
  dpkg: error processing package mawk (--configure):
-  installed mawk package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 134
+  installed mawk package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 134
  
  Same with Oracular.
+ 
+ A normal debootstrap (no variant) completes without error.
  
  Could be a fakeroot fault. I will reassign if I figure out the cause.
