its no wonder people don't report or fix bugs.. y'all make it so hard to do so..
i have no idea what url it wants.. but here is the file in problem..
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/armhf/bash/4.4-5ubuntu1
it is also happening with the artful file.. seeing how they are the same file.

Anyone who have the solution?

Here is my test sequence.

2. debootstrap stage1
$ sudo debootstrap --verbose --foreign --arch armhf bionic ./ubuntu http://ports.ubuntu.com
