pbuilder expects debootstrap, gets cdebootstrap

[Sami Haahtinen]

On a clean install (Flight-6 -> upgraded) installing pbuilder pulls in cdebootstrap, while the default configuration expects debootstrap

Either the default configuration or the deps should be adjusted. Another way would be to make the default configuration say something like:

if [ -x /usr/bin/debootstrap ]; then
   DEBOOTSTRAP=/usr/bin/debootstrap
else
   DEBOOTSTRAP=/usr/bin/cdebootstrap
fi

The above is not the most sane option, there could be checks for cdebootstrap too and a proper fallback option. This is just a quick example ;)

Hmm.. on second thought, cdebootstrap doesn't have scripts to set up dapper, it might be more sane to set up pbuilder to depend on debootstrap for now.

[T-Bone (varenet)]

Note: I got the same issue, it comes from the fact that cdebootstrap is in universe, while debootstrap is in main. The Depends: line reads:

Depends: cdebootstrap | debootstrap

if you have universe in your sources.list, it will pick cdebootstrap, and since pbuilderrc expects debootstrap, the tool won't work.

Needs to adjust dependencies, or fix cdeboostrap and the configuration...

Changing the order is trivial and should help

mdz: I think this should be okay for dapper-updates. Okay to upload my patch?

I just uploaded a merged package to edgy, fixing this bug.
