Hi,
passing arguments to --debootstrapopts with spaces can be tricky, the
solution is to use multiple --debootstrapopts, i.e.:
# pbuilder create --debbootstrapopts "-a i386" --debug --basetgz sid32.tar.gz --mirror http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian
+ cdebootstrap --variant=buildd '-a i386' sid . http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian
this doesn't work of course, a possibile solution would be to set IFS='
' just before debootstrap invocation so the correct expansion is used,
and restore it afterwards. Specifying multiple times --debootstrapopts
indeed works as expected:
# pbuilder create --debootstrapopts -a --debootstrapopts i386 --debug --basetgz sid32.tar.gz --mirror http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian
+ cdebootstrap --variant=buildd -a i386 sid . http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian
either way, I think this needs to be documented in the man page :)
thanks,
filippo
