[Bug 2071862] Re: Debootstrap fails for Debian testing/trixie/unstable

[Julian Andres Klode]

It seems there was some oversight with the verification and the bug
status changed to Fix Released instead of using the verification-done-
jammy tag; also the verification was missing the version tested and the
concrete observations/that the test plan was followed.

So let me just try this again:


A) With the old deboostrap, bookworm is fine and you can observe this failure case for testing/unstable

I: Extracting base-files...
E: Tried to extract package, but file already exists. Exit...

B) With 1.0.126+nmu1ubuntu0.8 from proposed, all bootstrap fine, we
reach the final "I: Base system installed successfully." for all 3
(bookwrom/testing/unstable) attempts. They also have the correct
symlinks (bin, lib, lib64, sbin) in place.

Title:
  Debootstrap fails for Debian testing/trixie/unstable

Status in debootstrap package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in debootstrap source package in Jammy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  On Jammy debootstrap now fails to create Debian trixie/testing/unstable as the usrmerge symlinks are shipped in base-files, like in Noble, so the debootstrap logic is incompatible.
  Debootstrap in Jammy was already updated to deal with the same change in Noble via:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/+bug/2054925
  https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/commit/?h=applied/ubuntu/jammy-devel&id=9dcbc77446c78935407d736ac1497b625a82d51e

  The same change needs to be applied to the Debian script for
  testing/unstable in Jammy

  [Test plan]
  Running debootstrap for bookworm/testing/unstable successfully, resulting in a correct usr-merged system. With the patch this works fine, without the patch testing/unstable fail.

  [Where problems could occur]
  We do not anticipate any regressions as we replace the previous *) case for usrmerge for trixie/testing/unstable, so previous versions are unaffected.
  That said, this is a different approach than bookworm and older, so there could be unforeseen results.
