[Vmdebootstrap-devel] Bug#869714: vmdebootstrap: cannot bootstrap >= buster on i386: 586 kernel no longer available

[Simon McVittie]

Package: vmdebootstrap
Version: 1.7-1+nmu1
Severity: normal

When bootstrapping an i386 image, vmdebootstrap uses the 486 kernel
for wheezy, or the 586 kernel for newer Debian suites. The 586
kernel was a real kernel in jessie, a transitional package in stretch,
and disappeared entirely in buster.

It should use the 486 kernel for wheezy, the 586 kernel for jessie
or the 686 kernel for anything newer.
