[Johannes Schauer]

Package: autopkgtest
Version: 4.2.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

as the man page suggests, I'm running:

$ AUTOPKGTEST_APT_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:3142 sudo vmdebootstrap --verbose --serial-console --distribution=sid --customize=/usr/share/autopkgtest/setup-commands/setup-testbed --user=test/test --size=1000000000 --grub --image=autopkgtest-sid.raw

This problem appears with or without AUTOPKGTEST_APT_PROXY set. My host
is able to resolve httpredir.debian.org just fine:

$ ping -c 4 httpredir.debian.org
PING httpredir.debian.org (5.153.231.35) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from httpredir-bm-01.debian.org (5.153.231.35): icmp_seq=4 ttl=41 time=53.9 ms

This is with vmdebootstrap (= 1.7-1).

Thanks!

cheers, josch
