From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debootstrap issue (lemmy.world)

I am trying to create debian chroot with debootstrap, but I get this error:

$ fakeroot debootstrap --arch=arm64 --variant=minbase stable .
I: Checking Release signature
I: Valid Release signature (key id 4D64FEC119C2029067D6E791F8D2585B8783D481)
I: Retrieving Packages 
I: Validating Packages 
E: Couldn't download http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-arm64/Packages

The problem is that there is only http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-arm64/Packages.xz or .gz files in repository. How do I fix this? Debootstrap is from Fedora 41 repo.

Do it as two separate commands to learn which is causing you the issues.

Is debootstrap the latest and greatest? It's on Fedora so you can't always guarantee it's up-to-date wrt Debian.

Curiously enough I tried to use the rpm/dnf packages on ArchLinux, to create a new Fedora with Ansible, with less than stellar results. It happens that way sometimes.
