Summary	0002489: When running debootstrap sana, cannot download package base-files
Description	After installing debootstrap (to get Kali 2.0 as a base image for use in Docker), I noticed the following error: W: Couldn't download package base-files (ver 1:2.0-rc1+1 arch amd64)
Steps To Reproduce	Installed debootstrap with apt-get -y install debootstrap on Kali 2.0 using the 64-bit VM guest Ran debootstrap sana kali http://http.kali.org/kali/ Error message produced in description section above
Additional Information	My temporary fix was just to add the directories and files from the base-files package manually. for i in `dpkg-query -L base-files` ; do find $i -maxdepth 0 -type d ; done > basedirs for i in `dpkg-query -L base-files` ; do find $i -maxdepth 0 -type f ; done > basefiles for i in `cat basedirs` ; do mkdir -p kali$i ; done && for i in `cat basefiles` ; do cp $i kali/$i ; done Then I was able to: debootstrip sana ./kali http://http.kali.org/kali/ tar -C kali/ -c . > kali.tar cat kali.tar \| docker import - kali:latest

atdre 2015-08-11 23:09 reporter ~0003679	Actually my fix didn't work. debootstrap will not complete as it errors out. Will try to download all of the debs manually and packing them into a single tar file in order to try debootstrap --unpack-tarball=deps.tar note that the older Kali 1.1.0 works for debootstrap, even on Kali 2.0, i.e., deboostrap kali ./kali http://http.kali.org/kali/ tar -C kali/ -c . > kali.tar cat kali.tar \| docker import - kali:latest

rhertzog 2015-08-12 08:48 administrator ~0003682	I don't know what you are doing wrong but there's something fucked up in your setup... sana contains base-files "1:2.0" and not "1:2.0-rc1+1". What version of debootstrap are you using? We tend to use "cdebootstrap" for the live build but I doubt that debootstrap is broken... What kali mirror are your redirected to? Paste the output of "curl -sI http://http.kali.org/README"

rhertzog 2015-08-16 11:18 administrator ~0003787	This has been tracked down to a bad mirror. It has been dropped from the mirror rotation and you should be able to run the command successfully now.
