Bug Description
I tried to set up schroots for Debian unstable and testing with the following command:
mk-sbuild --debootstrap-
Each time, the creation eventually failed with the following warning printed five times:
W: Failure while configuring base packages. This will be re-attempted up to five times.
W: See /var/lib/
I've attached the debootstrap.log file. When I created an schroot for stable, that finished. It's possible this is an upstream bug in Debian's version of devscripts, but I figured I would start here since I'm trying to create these schroots on an Ubuntu system. Tell me if I should file this instead against Debian's debootstrap or devscripts.

I suspected that this may still occur, but it looks like it fails even earlier now.

You can try correcting the errors reported and running again usrmerge/ convert- usrmerge until it will complete without errors.

Do not install or update other Debian packages until the program
has been run successfully.
E: usrmerge failed. helpers: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you requested: helpers depends on usrmerge | usr-is-merged; however:

This looks like a Debian bug. I'll come back to this.
