Several misc questions regarding grml-debootstrap...
what will happen if I grml-debootstrap/debootstrap into a directory that has already been debootstrap'd. I.e., the "--target" is not an empty directory, but a fully setup chroot system?
"It might fail" ;)
I just tried it, but failed. I'm wondering why it fails. The output has two rounds of "I: Validating " each package, and "I: Extracting" each package. I.e., the same "I: Validating "/"I: Extracting" sequence happened twice. but failed at the end of the second round.
Running debootstrap itself twice in a row seems to work just fine, I see "I: Base system installed successfully." both times at the end of the run. So it might be a limitation of grml-debootstrap (I'm usually just installing on plain devices). Care to investigate?
