(MIPS) Segmentation fault running second stage qemu-debootstrap

[Ken Sharp]

qemu-bootstrap immediately fails with segmentation fault when attempting the second stage for MIPS.

$ sudo qemu-debootstrap --arch=mips testing mips http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/
[...]
I: Running command: chroot mips /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

No more information than that is provided unless there is a log saved somewhere.

Same is true of mipsel.

This appears to be related but I'm not sure if it is the same bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707629

The debootstrap.log doesn't say anything useful: it's only two lines.

That bug refers to a newer version of qemu-user-static.

ubuntu-bug automatically chooses qemu-linaro but I think this should probably be assigned to qemu.

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

qemu-linaro in precise is in fact built from the qemu-linaro source package.

This does not occur on i386. The bug only appears on amd64.

Version: 1.5.0+dfsg-3ubuntu5.2

Well, it's fixed in Saucy but I'm not sure about the other flavours.

[Ken Sharp (kennybobs)]

Apparently that's a different source: qemu not qemu-linaro.
